#302Hirai Ken
“#302” portrays a poignant love for a woman heartbroken by a failed romance.
Released in 2019, the song was used as the theme for the TV drama “4-minute Marigold,” and the music video features Yui Sakuma and Sho Kiyohara.
Although the rhythm is set in 6/8, the melody that flows over it is very simple, so as long as you follow the lyrics closely, you should be able to sing it without feeling too anxious.
The chorus goes a bit higher, so if you’re not comfortable with high notes, we recommend adjusting the key to make it easier to sing.
Grandfather’s ClockHirai Ken
“Grandfather’s Clock,” a nursery song beloved by a wide range of generations.
Released in 2002, this version is of a piece composed by American songwriter Henry Clay Work, whose sheet music became a big hit when it was published in 1876.
Ken Hirai’s wonderful vocals stand out, and the blend of his voice with the pleasant melodic line makes it feel as if new life has been breathed into this time-honored children’s song.
As a nursery song at its core, both the lyrics and melody have a straightforward structure, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a song that anyone—from children to adults—can comfortably try.
Beyond the RainbowHirai Dai
Hirai Dai’s classic “Beyond the Rainbow” is marked by its bright, uplifting melody.
The easiest point for singing this piece is, above all, the rhythm.
Because it’s organized into a very clear four-beat pattern—“zutch, zutch, zutch, zutch”—it’s reassuring even for those who tend to come in late on vocals at karaoke.
As for the high notes, there aren’t any particularly difficult spots, so it’s very easy to sing.
If you want to make it sound stylish, try blending English-like sounds—such as the “r” or “ae”—into your Japanese pronunciation.
Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix)Saitō Kazuyoshi
Included as the B-side on their 21st single, “On the Other Side of the Moon,” released in 2001, is this track: “Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix).” Its warm message—“Let’s paint just the way we want”—soothes both heart and body, with a charm that makes you want to listen with your eyes closed.
Since the melody mainly repeats short phrases, you’ll probably be able to remember a good portion of it after a few listens.
woundSaitō Kazuyoshi
A pure and simple love song that sings to a woman putting on a brave face to hide her emotional scars: “I love that side of you, too.” Released in 2015 as part of the single ‘Semete Ikōze!/Kizuguchi,’ the track was used as the theme song for the drama ‘Konkatsu Deka.’ The rock ’n’ roll guitar sound intertwines perfectly with Saito’s husky vocals, making it a feel-good listen.
With a relatively low range and a relaxed melody, it’s easy to learn and sing.
How about giving it a try at karaoke when the person you like is around?

The Beatles I saw were inside the TV.Saitō Kazuyoshi
It’s a message song that sings, with both irony and sincerity, about one’s feelings toward the era they live in—an honest, true-to-life piece.
“The Beatles I Saw Were on TV” is the debut single, released in 1993.
After appearing on the music audition program “Saturday My Family’s TV: Yuji Miyake’s Tenka Gomen ne!”, Saito won the right to make a major-label debut, and this was the track that came out of it.
The song carries a bittersweet mood, yet somehow leaves you feeling refreshingly clear at the end.
It’s a male-vocal number, but I think it’s easy for women to sing as well.
The stars look beautiful in the sky.Saitō Kazuyoshi
The popular song “Sora ni Hoshi ga Kirei,” known from Myojo’s “Charumera” commercial jingle and used as an insert song in the 2016 drama Hibana, was released as their 10th single in 1996.
Its lyrics offer the comforting feeling of someone by your side when you’re down after a failure or troubled by something small—such a beautiful worldview.
The melody is calm, with a relatively low vocal range.
Try singing it while imagining a night sky full of twinkling stars.
