Summer Days of 1993class

When it comes to early Heisei-era summer songs, many people now in their 40s will probably think of this track first.

As the title suggests, “Natsu no Hi no 1993,” released in 1993, was a massive hit by the male duo class, selling over a million copies.

Its melody line is set in a relatively low key, making it very easy to sing—even those who struggle with high notes can take it on without worry, and it seems promising for scoring high in karaoke.

Since debuting as UNICORN in 1987, Tamio Okuda has maintained a unique position throughout his long career, continuing to exert a tremendous influence on subsequent artists.

For many people now in their 40s who spent their youth in the 1990s, it’s likely that Okuda’s songs from around his solo debut—rather than his work with Unicorn—were the soundtrack of their adolescence.

Okuda’s milestone solo debut single, “Ai no Tame ni,” was released in 1994 and became one of his signature tracks, achieving million-seller status.

While it’s hard to capture the nuanced atmosphere that Okuda himself brings, the melody has a relatively narrow range and gentle interval leaps, making it genuinely easy to sing.

If you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

For men in their 40s who are looking for recent hit songs that are easy to sing, I recommend Yuuri’s Kakurenbo.

Yuuri originally made his major debut as the frontman of a rock band, but after the group disbanded, his street performances drew attention, and he re-debuted in 2020 as a singer-songwriter.

While he’s especially popular with Gen Z, his novel-like lyrics and carefully woven melodies resonate deeply even with listeners in their 40s.

Kakurenbo is one of his signature songs, and among Yuuri’s tracks it’s arranged in a relatively lower key.

Although the chorus does reach slightly higher notes, the overall range is narrower, making it easy to sing.

The parts sung with power carry a captivating nuance that reflects his rock background, so if you enjoy ballads, definitely give it a try.

Prayer FlowerHirai Dai

Hirai Dai’s classic gently weaves a deep sense of love and gratitude for someone dear.

Filled with thoughts of his late grandmother, the warm vocal delivery blends with the soothing tone of the ukulele to comfort listeners’ hearts.

Released in October 2011 as his debut single, it was later included on the album “ALOHA.” In March 2021, it was also featured on the fifth installment of the love song compilation CD series “Tashika ni Koi Datta.” This is a song that resonates with anyone who has experienced parting from a loved one or carries feelings they haven’t been able to fully express.

forever; for good; indefinitelyGReeeeN

A ballad layered with memories of lovers and infused with vows for the future.

With a lovely melody and heartwarming lyrics, it gently portrays days spent with someone dear.

Included on GReeeeN’s album “Shio, Kosho,” it has captured many hearts since its release in June 2009.

Focusing on the happiness found in everyday life, it tells a story of pledging eternal love through cherished photographs, and is also beloved as wedding background music.

Embracing the feelings of those in love and brimming with hope for the future, this work is recommended for moments when you want to reaffirm the bond with someone special.
