Moving masterpiece and popular songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke (51–60)
Peter Pan syndromeSound Schedule
It’s a classic song that reminisces about a youth spent chasing only what was right in front of us, and wistfully reflects on a time we can no longer return to.
Even now, the distant city lights that appear for a moment are no longer the same as they once were—and they’ll keep changing from here on, too.
This gentle rock tune makes those ordinary truths feel precious.
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!
Unrequited loveAimer
This is one of Aimer’s popular songs, radiating a one-of-a-kind charm with her distinctive singing style and a cool yet powerful husky voice that becomes delightfully addictive.
Built on a simple accompaniment that puts her vocals front and center, the arrangement fully brings out the strength of her voice.
It may be quite difficult to sing it as well as she does, but give it a try.
You’ll surely be moved by the straightforward love expressed in the lyrics.
Night journeyYorushika
Released as their second digital-only single, the song “Yakō” was featured as an insert track in the animated film A Whisker Away.
Built around acoustic guitar and shifting to a full band sound in the chorus, the arrangement—together with its lyrical, poetic words—strikes a deep emotional chord.
Because the melody doesn’t make large leaps relative to the ensemble’s dynamics, it’s easy to sing calmly at karaoke.
The overall key is also on the lower side, making it a recommended number even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

single bedSha ran Q
Released in 1994 as Sharam Q’s sixth single, this song enjoyed a long-running hit and became the group’s first million seller.
It was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime “D·N·A²: They Were Missed Somewhere,” and it remains a popular choice for karaoke.
March 9Remioromen
It’s the song that became hugely popular as the theme for the drama “1 Litre of Tears.” Even now, it’s a staple graduation song sung at schools across the country, but it was originally written for a friend’s wedding.
Knowing that backstory makes the feelings of love for a special person and the resolve to spend a lifetime together resonate even more, doesn’t it? The chorus features a sudden leap in pitch, so it’s a challenging song, but please give it a try.
Thank youikimonogakari
It’s one of Ikimono-gakari’s signature songs and is extremely well-known, partly because it was used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Gegege no Nyobo.” This masterpiece pairs a gentle, ballad-like melody with lyrics filled with heartfelt gratitude.
Combined with a clear, straight-reaching vocal performance, it’s a song that moves listeners as the feeling of thankfulness shines through.
