[Rock Singer] Karaoke-friendly songs by Shogo Hamada! (11–20)
unrequited loveHamada Shogo
This song portrays the pain that grows stronger as one’s feelings deepen, even while knowing the love will never be fulfilled.
It was included on the 1978 album “Illumination,” and later released as the B-side to “Ai o Nemurasete.” The lyrics depict regret over having fallen in love and a wish to be rewarded, if only once.
Because the melodic pitch changes very gently, it’s likely an easy song to sing without strain.
Precisely because the range isn’t wide, being mindful of how to convey emotion is essential.
A Painting of MayHamada Shogo
This song portrays the rediscovery of long-forgotten love for one’s family and the various emotional shifts that accompany it.
It’s included on the album “Journey of a Songwriter,” and serves as a sequel to “Hanabi” from the previous album “My First Love.” The story follows a man who abandoned his family and reunites with his daughter, depicting a complex mix of joy and regret.
The arrangement is simple, layering acoustic sounds with vocals to create a relaxed atmosphere.
Its gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing, and you should be mindful of how to infuse tender vocals with emotion.
Indigo-colored LetterHamada Shogo
This song, themed around a letter from someone dear, evokes reflection on the past and hope for the future.
It was included on the 2001 album “SAVE OUR SHIP,” and is said to be a rewritten version of the song “Hiruyasumi” (Lunch Break).
Precisely because of its simple arrangement of piano and vocals, the feeling of quietly facing one’s own heart comes through vividly.
The lyrics invite you to imagine the story behind them, which is a defining feature of the song, so how you convey emotion in the lyrics is a crucial point.
With its very slow tempo, it seems like a piece you can sing calmly.
The continuation of a dreamHamada Shogo
This song portrays memories built with family and the wish for children to grow up healthy.
It is included on the 2015 album “Journey of a Songwriter.” Because of its simple structure—like a solo guitar performance—the warmth of family comes through clearly.
The song’s essence lies in a gentle vocal delivery that faces one’s own heart, so it’s important to sing as if conveying the lyrics directly.
Its relatively modest melodic range also makes it easy to sing, which is part of the song’s appeal.
Your smileHamada Shogo
It’s a love song filled with tenderness and poignancy, looking back on the memories built up with a cherished person.
The way it tries to somehow avoid a sad ending when the two are about to grow apart conveys the strength of its feelings.
The warm, gently unfolding sound and the softly conversational vocals layered together express single-hearted devotion.
Singing slowly and relaxed, as if delivering the words straight and true, is a key point in crafting the song’s world.
A more effortless, unforced singing style may better convey the emotions embedded in the song.
AMERICAHamada Shogo
This is a refreshing song that portrays the ordinary, everyday life spent in America, a place approached with a sense of longing.
It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The American scenery depicted through country-tinged sounds and lyrics is striking, evoking a strong image of the America you see in films.
The vocals unfold as if slowly looking back on memories, so relaxing your shoulders may help both with ease of singing and with creating the right mood.
It might also be important to focus on singing as if sending your feelings to a faraway place.

When you are in the time of your life…NEW!Hamada Shogo
This is an early signature work that became a turning point as Shogo Hamada’s first album for which he wrote all the lyrics himself, and it’s packed with fun days spent touring various places with the band! The tempo is very relaxed, so you can sing carefully, and the pitch is easy to follow.
Also, the structure raises the range gradually toward the chorus, so if you build momentum little by little as you sing, your voice will come out smoothly without catching in your throat.
Basically, the place where you produce the voice is the vocal cords, so place a finger in the dip between your collarbones, bring your other hand in front of the vocal cords, and sing as if you’re letting your voice hit your hand in time with the rhythm.
As the pitch gets higher, move your hand farther away—away from the vocal cords—and project your voice toward it.
