Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
“I’m always singing songs from the ’90s and 2000s, so I want to try some recent hits too…” If you’re a man in your 40s who feels that way, why not take on Masaki Suda’s “Sayonara Elegy”? Written by singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki and released in 2018 as Suda’s single, it’s a popular track boasting 180 million views on YouTube as of now.
Its melody carries a certain nostalgia, and the bittersweet sense of speed will likely resonate with men in their 40s.
The tune is so memorable you’ll pick it up after just one listen, and its straightforward structure makes it easy to sing.
When you try it at karaoke, aim to savor each word of the lyrics as you sing.
Love and a Machine GunFlipper’s Guitar
Flipper’s Guitar was a band that gained popularity for its inventive sound, which distilled neo-acoustic and Shibuya-kei into indie pop.
Many of you may know them as the group that produced two renowned musicians: Cornelius and Kenji Ozawa.
Their song “Love and Machine Gun” is one of their signature tracks.
While it has a jazz flavor, the vocals aren’t particularly jazzy.
Rather, the vocal line is subdued and ennui-laden with little dynamic variation, making it far easier to sing than a lot of typical J-pop.
Let’s be happyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
Artists from around this generation often sing in their chest voice rather than relying on falsetto, so their vocal ranges aren’t that high.
I bet some of you have sung this song at ceremonies quite a bit.
The piano and strings in the background sound beautiful, and it seems like it would feel great to sing.
The tempo isn’t fast, so you can sing calmly and with care.
The verse has that distinct Nagabuchi style, so if you focus on it too much you might end up sounding like an impression of him (lol).
I feel like you shouldn’t worry too much about the Nagabuchi flavor—sing it in your own voice.
In the chorus, if you sing boldly, like “I’m a great singer!” your voice will come out solidly and you’ll enjoy singing it.
In the end, it’d be awesome if you could get everyone involved and turn it into a big sing-along!
