YC&K
This is one of the signature songs by the vocal duo C&K, and it’s extremely popular as a tearjerker.
The first thing that will surprise you when you listen is CLIEVY’s so-called super high-tone voice—an incredibly beautiful high register that many men with an average vocal range might not be able to sing.
That’s why it’s perfect for a duet between a woman and a man, or for two women to sing together.
The lyrics depict a breakup between a man and a woman, but as you read them, it seems to suggest a parting by death.
The profound love and heartbreakingly sad story are sure to move you to tears.
You Go Your WayCHEMISTRY

It portrays the feeling of almost swallowing your words of farewell when you look into the other person’s eyes, striking a deep chord with listeners.
Released in 2001, the song was also used in a Suntory BOSS commercial and has left a lasting impression on many people.
It’s a song that stays close to those who have experienced a breakup or are trying to overcome a farewell with someone important.
If you sing it at karaoke, the emotion in your voice will move the hearts of those around you and is sure to inspire.
Letter to the SkyGReeeeN
As its title suggests, “A Letter to the Sky” is a poignant song that turns a letter to someone who has passed away into music.

Try singing it at karaoke while holding those dear to you in your heart.
It may be one-sided, but it’s a classic that sincerely voices the desire to convey feelings in the belief that they’re surely reading.

If you express the strength of the melody and the bittersweet lyrics while overlaying them with your own heartbreak, it feels like you could sing an absolutely tear-jerking karaoke performance.
