Whale SongMrs. GREEN APPLE
A grand ballad that evokes the song of a lonely whale.
Included on the second album “Mrs.
GREEN APPLE,” it was released in January 2017.
It poignantly portrays the sense of isolation, as if cast into the vast ocean, and the struggle to find one’s place.
The melody line, which makes full use of high registers and a wide vocal range, is breathtaking.
Why not let your voice resonate to the fullest when singing solo or with a small group of close friends at karaoke?
So there was one in Tokyo, too.Fukuyama Masaharu
“There Was One in Tokyo, Too” is a ballad about a protagonist who moved to Tokyo with a dream and sings while thinking of their hometown.
Throughout, it carries a gently melancholic mood that feels comforting whether you sing it or listen to it.
Even while being swept up in the busy days of the big city, your mind drifts to someone dear in quiet moments.
Even as time goes by, we’d like to never forget that feeling.
apoptosisOfisharu Higedan Dism
This song likens the transience of life and its end to programmed cell death, and it was released in August 2021 as the lead track from the major second album, Editorial.
Featuring a dynamic arrangement that shifts from electronic sounds to a composition incorporating live instruments, the lyrics delicately capture Satoshi Fujiwara’s feelings as he approached the age of 30.
If you sing this track at karaoke, its floating melodies and profound theme will offer a special moment to reflect on your inner self.
BirthOzaki Yutaka
Yutaka Ozaki, who still enjoys enduring popularity as a rock singer.
The song “Tanjou” (Birth) is included on his fifth album, also titled “Tanjou,” released in 1990.
Up until around 8 minutes and 20 seconds from the start, it has a breezy rhythm and powerful lyrics from the first-person perspective using “ore,” so it seems like a track that would get people fired up at karaoke.
After 8:20, it shifts to a mid-tempo feel, and the lyrics are woven in sync with the music as if he’s speaking to someone.
While many of the lyrics deal with life, it seems this particular song was a gift to his son, Hiroya Ozaki.
FACES PLACESglobe
A track released as an advance single from the album “FACES PLACES.” KEIKO’s overwhelmingly high vocals make a striking impact.
It’s also fun to split up Marc Panther’s parts and sing it as a male-female duet.
The repeated English lyrics are pleasant and linger in your ears.
Two starsyurayura teikoku
If you want to surrender yourself to a sweet psychedelic ballad, try this track from Yura Yura Teikoku’s classic album “Me no Car.” Released in June 1999, it’s a seven-and-a-half-minute epic that closes out the album, with a dreamy, mist-wandering atmosphere and a wistful melody that tugs at the heart.
The calmly repeating rhythm and guitar tones shimmering like a water’s surface feel soothing, and despite its length, it never grows tiresome.
Contrary to the band’s reputation for intense songs, this one is quiet and romantic—perfect for when you want to sing with a gentle, tender touch.
Its sound, which feels like the stillness before dawn, is ideal for a relaxed moment with close friends or for immersing yourself alone in the world of the song.
Rainbow RecipeSukima Suichi
A richly colorful pop number that likens the process of building music, layer by layer, to a “rainbow.” It’s a work by the musical duo Sukima Switch, released as a single in May 2009, and it’s also included on their fifth album, Nayuta to Fukashigi.
Despite its extended length of about 7 minutes and 40 seconds, the structure that gradually swells toward the latter half is superb.
It was used as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN” and as the image song for the 2nd Honolulu Rainbow Ekiden 2014.
The lyrics convey a creative passion to complete a work through trial and error, stirring the heart.
Immerse yourself in this piece’s world, where diverse sounds blend together, and try singing it with a music-loving friend.
