I’ve always liked you.Saitō Kazuyoshi
A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.
The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and a voice that resonates in the heart quietly convey unfulfilled feelings and a love that passed by.
Kazuyoshi Saito’s tender vocals and guitar beautifully express nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.
Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme song for Shiseido’s IN&ON series commercials.
Since February 2017, it has also been used in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to comfort many listeners.
It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or during long-awaited get-togethers, wrapped in fond memories.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and its universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.
WON’T BE LONGBaburugamu Burazāzu
A track marked by an irresistibly catchy, upbeat groove and a festival-like, uplifting rhythm.
Inspired by the Awa Odori dance, its forward-looking message—filled with a powerful resolve to give your all for someone—really strikes a chord.
It features the Bubblegum Brothers’ signature breezy sound and approachable lyrics.
Released in August 1990, it initially drew little attention, but after being broadcast on a TV program in March 1991, it exploded in popularity and became a million-seller.
In 2006, it was also covered by EXILE and Kumi Koda.
It’s an encouraging anthem that gives energy and courage—especially recommended for those worn out by work or daily life.
It’s also perfect for livening up a karaoke session with friends.
Winter is starting.Makihara Noriyuki
Makihara Noriyuki—fondly known as “Makkī”—is an indispensable figure when talking about the music scene of the 1990s and a genius singer-songwriter whose name is etched in Japanese music history, leaving behind many timeless songs.
His naturally smooth, unadorned, and expansive voice that reaches listeners’ hearts directly; melodies that are not swayed by passing trends; and lyrics that superbly capture vivid scenes and shifting emotions through simple word choices—his talent is universally acknowledged.
Among his many classics, the 1991 release “Fuyu ga Hajimaru yo” is relatively easy to sing, and the signature high notes typical of Makihara are somewhat restrained, making it a good recommendation for those who struggle with high registers.
Be mindful of the shuffle rhythm, and take care to stay on pitch!
Like a white cloudsaruganseki
The comedy duo Saruganseki, made up of Hiroiki Ariyoshi and Kazunari Moriwaki.
The song that truly cemented their then idol-like popularity is, of course, Shiroi Yuki no Yō ni (Like White Snow).
As a composition, it’s a very orthodox J-pop number with a very narrow vocal range.
Since the two aren’t professional singers, the vocal lines present no real difficulty.
It’s also a crowd-pleaser at karaoke, so be sure to check it out.
