A Naked Heartaimyon
For people in their 40s, Aimyon might feel relatively new, but she’s popular across all generations and has many easy-to-sing songs—highly recommended! Among them, “Naked Heart” (Hadaka no Kokoro) was released in 2020 and used as the theme song for the drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san,” so many of you may already know it.
The overall vocal range is fairly wide, from F3 to D#5.
I think it’s very singable if you use chest voice for the verses and switch to falsetto for the high notes in the chorus.
The song’s structure also builds toward the chorus, making it easier to add dynamics when you sing.
Falsetto is a technique that can convey a sense of poignancy.
Take plenty of breath and make sure to resonate in your head.

This is a character song that vividly colors the dawn of a new year.
It was released digitally by Pony Canyon in January 2021 and was later included on the album “Hyakka Ryoran III” in July of the same year.
The lyrics intertwine the sound of New Year’s temple bells with the resolve held in one’s heart, capturing the exhilaration of standing tall in festive attire and stepping forward into a new self.
Blending the crisp air of early January with a melody full of hope, this number is perfect for etching your resolutions into your heart as you watch the first sunrise of the year.
Its clear, radiant vocals gently deliver the sparkle of the New Year.
The first dream of the year with youTaka Fuji Nasu (CV: Morishita Rena)
This song, themed around the first dream of the year, is a Japanese-style pop number that captures the New Year’s uplift and gentle hope.
Rena Morishita’s soft yet dignified vocals deliver a blessing for the year ahead and a hint of dreams to come.
A lively rhythm infused with traditional Japanese elements blends seamlessly, and the radiant melody envelops listeners in a festive atmosphere.
Released in January 2021 as the ending theme for the anime The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Theater Extra Stage, it was later included in THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS LITTLE STARS EXTRA! “Kimi no Stage Ishou, Hontou wa…”.
It’s highly recommended as the perfect track for a peaceful moment spent with family over the New Year holidays, or for a quiet morning when you hold your New Year’s resolutions close to your heart.
HAPPY HONEY HORSENo-zan Ho-su Pa-ku
The hand-play song about horses produced by Northern Horse Park in Tomakomai, Hokkaido is a piece that expresses the fun of interacting with horses through dance.
It’s designed so that children can physically portray the characteristics of horses—like the clip-clop of running, affectionate nuzzling, long necks, and signature gestures—in time with the rhythm.
By weaving running and jumping movements into the lyrics and using lots of easy-to-mimic onomatopoeia, the song is structured so even first-time listeners can quickly sing and dance along.
Released in April 2023, the lyrics were written by Nanami Miyoshi and the Northern Friends, with music by Shuntaro Yamauchi and Nanami Miyoshi.
You can also enjoy the music video on the park’s official website.
Watching the video before your visit and then meeting the horses on-site will likely make the experience even more memorable.
It’s the perfect track for parents and children who want to move their bodies while growing fond of horses!
Run, Kotaro!Sakushi: Ikeda Kenkichi / Sakkyoku: Ikeda Kenkichi, Maeda Nobuo
Released in July 1970 as a parody of horse-racing commentary, this Salty Sugar track sings out an imaginary derby in a comical, announcer-style delivery.
The lyrics were written by Kenkichi Ikeda, and the music was co-composed by Ikeda and Nobuo Maeda.
Its charm lies in a high-energy arrangement that fuses acoustic guitar, handclaps, and shouted calls.
The song topped the Oricon weekly chart and won the New Artist Award at the Japan Record Awards.
It later became a staple as background music for school sports days, was adapted with new lyrics for the 1996 anime Midori no Makibaō, and was covered in 2018 for Uma Musume: Pretty Derby—remaining beloved across generations.
It’s a perfect pick for enjoying announcer-style singing with kids or hyping up a sports event.
Spring MeadowSakushi: Sakata Hiroo Sakkyoku: Ichikawa Toshiharu
This is a children’s song by poet-lyricist Hiroo Sakata and composer Toshiharu Ichikawa, a pioneer of educational music, depicting a foal galloping across a pasture.
It sings of a lively young horse running about in the spring breeze, with fresh grasses and flowers sprouting all around.
It has been included for many years in lower-grade music textbooks, featuring a comfortable vocal range and an easy-to-remember melody that thoughtfully draws out children’s natural singing voices.
It is featured in Educational Art Company’s elementary school music textbooks for the 2020 and 2024 school years, with accompanying teacher’s CDs and beginner piano scores available.
Expressing the vibrant feeling of spring through a bright, light rhythm, this piece is perfect for choral singing in early childhood settings as a new season begins, or for family sing-alongs at home.

Harmony of DecemberKinKi Kids
A winter ballad depicting the harmony of December, released in 2006 as the 24th single.
It delicately portrays feelings for a parting lover and the bittersweetness felt as the seasons change, making you want to quietly look back on the past year while walking through a winter city.
Centered on strings and piano, with choral work reminiscent of church music layered on top, the arrangement gently conveys the clear air of year’s end.
Chosen as the image song for dwango.jp and MUSIC.JP, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
Precisely because year-end is so hectic, take some time to listen to this song and slow down.
