Jet EcstasyGotō Terumoto
Hearing that it’s a song by a comedian probably piqued a lot of people’s interest.
Written and composed by Terumoto Goto of the duo Football Hour, this track was born from a segment on TV Tokyo’s popular variety show God Tongue.
Its garage rock sound—showing clear respect for the rock band BLANKEY JET CITY—fits perfectly with his persona.
The style of earnestly delivering cliché lyrics creates a unique blend of humor and coolness, and together with the irresistibly playable guitar riff, it never fails to captivate listeners.
Passionsaitou yuki
This song, which sings about the heartache of a bittersweet breakup, captivates with Yuki Saito’s translucent vocals and lyrics that resonate deeply.
It portrays the complex emotions of a girl facing the end of a romance, expressed through a passionate melody.
Released in November 1985, it reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and was also used as the theme song for the film “A Fragment of Snow.” It’s a recommended track for anyone who has experienced parting with someone dear or wants to feel the poignancy of love.
Sing it at karaoke, and it will surely become a memory that lingers in your heart.
Stay 19 foreverHamada Shogo
This song portrays emotional currents that are more than just regret over the passing of one’s youthful school days.
It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The acoustic guitar tones and layered choruses emphasize a refreshing atmosphere and warmth.
The lightness of the vocals also seems to evoke a sense of youth, doesn’t it? The gentle tempo, which invites a slow look back on memories, makes it easy to sing—so try performing it while savoring those recollections.
Time TravelerTakeuchi Mariya
Mariya Takeuchi has produced many classic songs, and she has also released tracks in English.
Among them, the one I particularly recommend is “Jikuu no Tabibito.” Because it’s in English, pronunciation can be a hurdle, but if you can get past that, you’ll find this song very easy to sing.
It’s a ballad with a calm, Carpenteresque melody, without sudden jumps in pitch and with a relatively narrow vocal range.

JitterbugELLEGARDEN
A song by ELLEGARDEN, a four-piece rock band from Chiba Prefecture.
It’s included on their July 2003 album “BRING YOUR BOARD!!,” and was later re-released as a single in November of the same year, serving as the ending theme for TBS’s “CDTV.” The lyrics, while uniquely phrased, are remarkably easy to visualize and carry a positive message: don’t fear failure in life—see it as a chance to learn.
Combined with Takeshi Hosomi’s vocals, the track truly resonates with listeners.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those feeling vague anxiety about the future or unsure whether they’re on the right path.
JOin us!!JO1
JO1’s “JOin us!!” is packed with poppy, energetic charm.
Released in December 2024, it was also featured as the TV commercial song for JRA’s 2024 Arima Kinen promotion.
The track carries a message of “Forget the boring everyday routine and have fun together.” Its brisk rhythm and optimistic lyrics give listeners a boost of energy.
It’s recommended for times when you want to forget daily gloom or spend a fun moment with friends.
