Love Songs · Ballads (11–20)
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
If someone sang a ballad like this right in front of me, my heart would be stolen! It’s one of singer and actress Mika Nakashima’s signature songs, released as her 10th single in 2003.
It’s also a classic that has been covered by many famous musicians.
This is exactly what “transparency” sounds like! The lyrics, which speak of love for someone dear, really touch the heart.
Be sure to pour your emotions into it when you sing.
It might be perfect for karaoke with your partner.
LOVER SOULJUDY AND MARY
It’s a sweet love song about wanting to melt into sleep with the one you love on a cold winter night.
It’s a track by the legendary rock band JUDY AND MARY, who blazed through the ’90s Japanese music scene, released in 1997 as their 13th single.
The band sound carries an energetic punch, yet somehow it conjures up sparkling, twinkling stars.
That’s surely thanks to YUKI’s straight, honest vocals.
Not just for this song—there must be many men who want to sing songs by JUDY AND MARY and YUKI.
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
Released as a ringtone on January 28, 2009, this popular song surpassed 100,000 downloads in just four days.
Since Hideaki Tokunaga has also covered it, there may be guys practicing it thinking, “If I go to karaoke with a woman, I want to sing it as a duet!” As the title suggests, pay attention to the lyrics overflowing with kindness and to JUJU’s vocals, which convey a sense of strength within femininity.
When cherry-blossom hues danceNakajima Mika
Mika Nakashima’s hit number “Sakurairo Mau Koro.” Although it was released in 2005, it’s a ballad with a beautifully memorable melody that still captivates listeners—so many people can probably still sing it today.
And of course, when you hear this song, memories of that time, that place, and that season come flooding back; I think many people feel the same.
Depending on your generation, it might hit you right in the sweet spot, so why not choose just the right moment and give this song a try?
GarnetOku Hanako
A signature song by Hanako Oku, chosen as the theme for the animated film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, which earned high praise at numerous film festivals.
Its refreshing lyrics and simple sound vividly evoke a summer of youth.
Oku’s pure, unaffected voice gently sinks into the heart.
For students it feels real; for adults it’s nostalgic.
Why not put the feeling of “I’m glad I met you” into a song and subtly appeal to the guy you’re interested in?
loveUru
Singer-songwriter Uru, who continues to captivate listeners with her mysterious vocals.
Many people associate her with challenging ballads and may hesitate when choosing her songs for karaoke.
That’s why we recommend this track included on the single “Platform,” released in November 2025.
The single was released alongside the opening theme for the TV anime “Eikyuu no Yuugure.” The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, and the song progresses at a medium to slow tempo, making it easier to manage breathing and maintain pitch.
Surrender yourself to the warm arrangement by Shingo Sekiguchi, and sing the lyrics—gently embracing anxiety and loneliness—with care.
If you adjust the key to suit your voice without overexerting yourself, it should become a tender, evocative piece.
Love Song Ballads (21–30)
Winter MagicAogumo
A pop number that turns winter’s chill into an ally of love, leaving you with a sweet-and-sour feeling.
Singer-songwriter Aogumo released it in November 2025.
The endearing lyrics—about using the freezing season as an excuse to get closer to someone you like—pair perfectly with her clear, airy vocals and make your heart skip a beat.
Her previous work, “We Don’t Have a Title Yet,” drew major buzz mainly on social media, and here again her down-to-earth word choice shines.
You’ll likely be moved by the protagonist, who struggles with the frustration of not being able to express her feelings honestly, yet ultimately musters the courage to do so.
Give it a listen this winter.
