An R&B masterpiece ballad that lifts your spirits like a carousel.

It beautifully captures both the sweetness and the ache of romance.

Toshinobu Kubota’s silky vocals and Naomi Campbell’s whisper-like chorus blend in exquisite harmony.

Song of LoveKōda Kumi

Kumi Koda – Ai no Uta

A gem of a ballad that earnestly sings of a woman’s feelings in love.

Kumi Koda’s powerful yet delicate vocals beautifully capture the subtle nuances of complex emotions.

With its relaxed tempo and melody, and minimal shifts in pitch throughout, it’s a song you can sing calmly at karaoke.

Released in September 2007, it was featured in a music.jp commercial and used as a support song for World Judo 2007.

The lyrics, depicting the bittersweetness of love and deep affection from a woman’s perspective, are universally relatable.

Next time you go to karaoke on a day off, why not make the most of its gentle pace and sing it with heartfelt emotion?

I Like Your Face (20th Anniversary Live at Kobe World Memorial Hall 2013.8.25)

I think quite a few people have had the experience of thinking, “I can’t put it into words, but I just really like this person.” The third single, ‘Kimi no Kao ga Suki da,’ released in 1994, was featured in heavy rotation on radio stations at the time and became a hot topic.

Because the lyrics are so straightforward and unadorned—single-minded, even—you can’t help but trust that the singer really means it.

Maybe being this direct actually feels more human and appealing.

How about trying it at karaoke with your partner?

Come for loveSaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – Come for Love [Music Video Short ver.]

This is a passionate love song that depicts the heart of a woman who lives for love.

“Come to Love,” included on the 12th album I ♥ ME released in 2007, is a mid-tempo track that was featured in UHA Mikakuto’s e-ma throat lozenges commercial.

Pairing the straightforward lyrics of “I want to see you” with an understated musical feel is very characteristic of Saito.

It’s great for karaoke, of course, and I think it’s also perfect for solo performances on guitar or piano.
