Moving and popular masterpieces you’ll want to sing at karaoke (31–40)
crescent moonayaka
It was released in 2006 as Ayaka’s fourth single.
With this song, she won the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist, boosting her popularity.
It’s Ayaka’s first love ballad, themed around a long-distance relationship.
It’s a classic that also reached No.
1 on the 2007 Oricon Karaoke Chart.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
This song, which was the official theme for the Athens Olympics, has lyrics that honor athletes’ daily efforts and truly move us.
Whether they shine on a glamorous stage or sometimes fall short of the results they hoped for, there’s always grueling everyday training behind it.
It was a classic that accompanied many moving Olympic moments at the time.
TSUNAMISazan Ōrusutāzu
Speaking of wide vocal ranges, some of you might immediately think of Southern All Stars’ Keisuke Kuwata.
The song’s overall range is quite broad, from A2 to D5, and unless you consciously change your approach between the verses and the chorus, it’s a tough one to sing well.
“TSUNAMI” is also very popular in vocal training.
Many people tend to tense up on the high notes in the last chorus, so we practiced relaxation a lot.
If you suddenly push your voice, it strains your throat and produces a tight, uncomfortable sound.
Before you sing, open your throat to create a pathway for the breath, and then send the air with a quick, elastic motion.
It’s also important to lift your facial muscles!
Together foreverKobukuro
It was released in 2004 as Kobukuro’s 10th single.
Known as a classic wedding song, it also became so popular that it ranked highly on karaoke request charts.
Among Kobukuro’s singles, it is their biggest long-running hit.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
This is a song that won passionate support and high praise from both children and adults.
It’s so moving that just listening to it can bring tears to your eyes with its kindness, so I really hope those who haven’t heard it yet will give it a listen.
It’s their 17th single overall and serves as the theme song for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon.” The music holds its own just as much as the film’s content.
Carried by the gentle tone of the acoustic guitar, the lyrics—evoking the friendship between Doraemon and Nobita—reach you straight and true.
It’s a timeless classic loved across generations.
