RADWIMPS – me me she [Official Music Video]

A ballad by the rock band RADWIMPS whose aching melody and candid lyrics pierce the heart.

The title is read as “Memeshii,” and it portrays a complex state of mind where lingering attachment to an ex and a self-centered kind of love are intertwined.

Many listeners will likely relate to the contradictory feelings of acknowledging one’s own weakness as “memeshii” while still wishing happiness for the other person.

Included on the classic 2006 album RADWIMPS 4 ~Okazu no Gohan~, it’s not a single, yet it has remained beloved for years.

When you want to let your overflowing emotions out through song, or sink fully into the pain of heartbreak at night, try singing it at karaoke—you might find your heart feels a little lighter.

A work filled with a gentle warmth that simply stays by your side on nights steeped in the sorrow of heartbreak.

The delicate tones of the acoustic guitar and the unadorned vocals naturally bring tears to your eyes.

It’s a ballad included on Aimyon’s second album, “Shunkanteki Sixth Sense,” released in February 2019, and its raw, one-take recording breath—so immediate and intimate—strikes straight to the heart.

There’s a warmth that seems to transform even the emptiness after a breakup into a sense of meaning in having met at all.

Rather than forcing yourself to perk up, when you want to embrace your sadness and sing it at karaoke, this will surely become a cherished song that gently wraps your heart.

Tearful KissSazan Ōrusutāzu

Tearful Kiss

A heartbreaking farewell song with a constricting, bittersweet melody and Keisuke Kuwata’s wistful vocals that pierce the heart.

You can keenly feel the protagonist’s helpless emotions as they sense an impending breakup yet can’t let go of their lingering attachment.

The lyrics, written entirely in Japanese with great care, are filled with straightforward words that resonate deeply—so much so that if you’ve just had your heart broken, you may not be able to listen without tears.

Released as a single in July 1992, it’s also famous as the theme song for the drama “I’ve Always Loved You,” which became a social phenomenon.

It became Southern All Stars’ first million-selling record and continues to be loved by many to this day.

It’s a masterpiece that offers healing—belt it out at karaoke with all your emotions, and it feels like the tears will wash away the sadness along with them.

Fiancé-kkyunano

ano “Fiancé-kyun” Music Video

A pop love song brimming with Chinese-inspired flavor that blends the old-fashioned ring of “fiancée” with a modern flutter.

It’s sung by ano, an artist attracting attention for her distinctive personality and musical style.

Released in October 2024 as the opening theme for the TV anime Ranma 1/2, the single is also included on the album BONE BORN BOMB.

Reflecting the zany, rom-com world of the series, it portrays love that can’t quite be honest and the frustration of missed connections, all through rhythmic wordplay.

Perfect for amping up the energy at karaoke, this track invites you to dive into its cute, slightly twisted lyrical world and have fun singing along!

LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE「LOVE LOVE LOVE」

A smash-hit love song released in 1995.

Best known as the theme song for the drama “Say You Love Me,” it’s characterized by simple lyrics and a bittersweet melody.

For karaoke, the key points are singing with emotion and adjusting the key.

Since the melody is repetitive and the range isn’t too high, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke! It’s such a well-known classic that many people will be drawn in from the intro.

I recommend slightly raising the energy and belting out the chorus, but for the other parts, it’s fine to keep it light—almost like taking a breather.

Love Song in DecemberGACKT(Gackt)

GACKT “December Love Song”

When it comes to GACKT’s Christmas songs, many fans probably think of “12gatsu no Love song,” don’t they? Released in 2001, while it is a love song, its lyrics are framed like a prayer for peace, and it remains enduringly popular today.

Its vocal range is extremely wide—from mid1 A to high G-sharp—with very dramatic jumps in pitch.

Because the low notes are quite low, adjusting the key can be challenging; however, the tempo itself is relaxed, making it a song that’s relatively easy to keep in tune.

Mutual loveaiko

aiko - “Mutual Love” music video

Aiko often has songs that span a wide range from low to high notes.

In the new song “Sōshi Sōai,” the key range looks wide at G#3–C#5, but the actual sung range is lower than you might expect.

The B4 range is used in the chorus and elsewhere, but for most women, that pitch should come out naturally without much effort.

Rather than a “cheerful!” vibe, it’s a song that strongly conveys “bittersweet emotion,” so it’s one you can sing with a calm tone.

When you actually try singing it, you may find many phrases where the pitch drops at the end of the melody lines, which can make intonation tricky for some.

It’s true that moving from low to high can be easier if you have momentum, but going from high to low is very difficult to land accurately.

Try singing lightly while sustaining your breath all the way to the end.
