[Rock Singer] Shogo Hamada’s Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs! (1–10)
Before the Generation of LoveNEW!Hamada Shogo
An unusually fast album that was recorded in just two weeks at the request of director Akira Sudo for the 1982 Nippon Budokan concert.
It carries the message that “a true generation of love will not arrive as long as nuclear weapons are not eradicated from the earth.” It’s a pretty cool rock number, the kind you’ll want to sing out loud without hesitation! Recommended for those confident in their stamina and those good at using their chest voice.
When singing, place a hand on your chest and focus on your chest resonance.
Simply keeping your hand there will help you feel your body resonate and should increase your volume.
I think it’s best to sing with crisp, clear enunciation throughout!
ON THE ROADNEW!Hamada Shogo
A live setlist staple.
Recommended for rock lovers who just want to get hyped and have confidence in their vocal power and stamina! Even without perfect pitch, it’s the kind of song you can power through on sheer momentum, so it’s worth memorizing the tune itself! If you go full throttle from the very start, you’ll run out of steam in the latter half, so pace yourself.
Also, the chorus sits in a high range for a while… To keep your pitch from dropping, lift your eyebrows and project straight forward! If you hesitate, you’ll end up straining your throat, so don’t fuss over pitch—focus on putting out a solid, strong voice!
Ring of the StarNEW!Hamada Shogo
A signature song that sings of eternal parting and the fleeting nature of love.
Often chosen for weddings by people who wish to be “a couple like this,” it’s considered an ideal love song.
The tempo is gentle, making it easy to follow the melody calmly.
In terms of structure, the music gradually rises and builds toward the chorus, and since the chorus features a flowing melodic line, adding accents as you sing is key.
If you feel the beat in 2/4 and place stronger emphasis on every first beat, you’ll create contrast and find it easier to sing.
By consciously delivering the initial note clearly from the very beginning and throughout, you should be able to sing smoothly without getting stuck.

To my belovedNEW!Hamada Shogo
Unusually for a Shogo Hamada song, this is a straightforward, easy-to-understand love ballad brimming with gentleness.
It’s said that “To My Beloved” was a song that came about naturally.
The tempo is relaxed, and the melody line feels calm.
It’s the kind of song you listen to quietly, so it’s recommended for those who want to sing a ballad with emotion.
Make sure you can smoothly hit the high notes at the start of the chorus.
When singing the “i” vowel, be conscious of sending the pitch upward—try raising your hand above your head for support while releasing your voice at the same time.
Relaxation is essential, so using big gestures helps you release tension and makes it easier to sing.
This approach is also great when you want clear enunciation.
The road I walked with youHamada Shogo
This song looks back on the road the singer has walked so far and talks about how satisfied they are with their life.
It was released as a single ahead of the 2005 album “My First Love,” included as the B-side to “I am a father.” The simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and percussion seems to highlight the gentle message of the lyrics.
The vocal line, with its modest melodic range and conversational delivery, makes it easy to sing, and performing it in a relaxed manner will likely bring out the song’s atmosphere even more.
Sorrow like snowHamada Shogo
This song portrays the warmth of people felt amid winter’s cold, evoking a brightness within poignancy.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni,” and has long been loved as one of Shogo Hamada’s definitive winter classics.
The powerful layering of the band and chorus strongly suggests a hopeful feeling of moving forward.
Its gently ranged melody and relaxed tempo make it easy to sing, so be sure to fully grasp the emotions embedded in the lyrics as you perform.
The two of us since thenHamada Shogo
This song portrays two people who chose to walk separate paths, conveying feelings of aching sadness and regret.
The detailed depictions of memories strongly evoke both the happiness they once had and the pain of having lost it.
One of the song’s charms is its gentle, conversational singing style, so how about valuing the words and aiming for a relaxed delivery? The emotional swell in the chorus is where the sense of poignancy stands out most, so it may also be important to focus on how much intensity you put into that section.
