A wonderful, moving song

[Moving Songs] A collection of touching Japanese pop classics that are easy to sing at karaoke.

There are lots of songs that move you when you listen to them, right?

But when it comes to singing them yourself at karaoke, have you ever found the notes surprisingly high or the melody harder to pitch than you expected?

This time, I’ve gathered some comparatively easy-to-sing songs among the moving ones!

There are emotional songs for various situations—departures, farewells, expressions of gratitude—so I think you’ll find ones that resonate when you relate them to your own experiences.

I’d be happy if you discover a new favorite among the songs I’m introducing.

Let’s get started!
