Love Song Ballads (31–40)
Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~Koyanagi Yuki
This is the song Yuki Koyanagi debuted with in 1999, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.
Some of you might have listened to this track on repeat, right? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot tend to stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch! So don’t be afraid to give it a try.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the pitch jumps up quickly from the chorus into the C section, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.
The accompaniment is solid, so you should still be able to sing it coolly even if you lower the key.
Overall, there’s no need to belt—sing with a light touch, keeping a head-voice feel in mind, and give it a try.
ifNishino Kana
“If” has a melody that conveys a poignant feeling right from the intro—it’s such a beautiful song.
It’s the piece my student practiced the most, and it holds special memories because they said, “I want to sing with a beautiful voice like Kana-yan’s!” and overcame their struggle with falsetto.
The highest note in this song is D#5, which is of course high, but I think the improvised falsetto lines at the beginning and end can be tough if you’re not used to them, since they’re sung with various articulations.
Those ad-lib sections sound so beautiful, so it’s worth nailing them.
With themes like “fateful encounters” and “hopes for the future,” I’d love for you to sing it to someone important to you.
usyama
Yama’s song “us” doesn’t have many high notes, so there aren’t any parts where you need to belt; overall it’s sung in a whispery style, making it very easy to sing throughout.
The general range is G#3–C#5, and the verses (A-melody to B-melody) are on the lower side, which suits lower voices well.
The chorus does include some higher notes around C5, but if you sing them lightly with a falsetto-like tone rather than belting, it’ll be easier to sing without strain and will fit the song’s atmosphere perfectly.
Try delivering it gently and smoothly!
Blue JeansHANA
A mid-tempo love ballad that layers the ache of a lovestruck night over well-worn jeans and sneakers.
Released in July 2025 as HANA’s second single, the track showcases a different side of the group whose debut song “ROSE” hit No.
1 on the Billboard JAPAN HOT 100.
Their collaboration with the casual brand DIESEL has also become a hot topic.
The lyrics, crafted by producer Chanmina, capture the raw feelings of love—frustration at not being able to see the one you like, and the jealousy that flares up over someone else.
On sleepless nights when you can’t stop thinking about that special person, this song might make your heart feel a little lighter, reminding you you’re not alone.
YOU… feat. Izumi Nakasone (HY)Kato Miria
Speaking of collaborations between powerhouse female singers, we can’t forget this song by Miliyah Kato and Izumi Nakasone of HY.
Based on real unrequited-love stories sent in by radio listeners, the two artists co-created this gem of a ballad.
Released in September 2014 as their 30th single, it was also included on the milestone 10th-anniversary album “MUSE.” The frustration of not being able to put your feelings into words, and the emotional wavering as you move toward confessing your love, come through poignantly in the harmony between Kato’s delicate vocals and Nakasone’s warm voice.
Chosen as the theme song for a radio drama, this track just might gently give you the push you need if you’re struggling with a one-sided love.

LONELYKatō Miriya feat. LANA
This is a track by Miliyah Kato—known for her realistic, highly relatable lyrics—teaming up with new-generation icon LANA.
The theme of the song is “loneliness.” It powerfully conveys the honest feeling of “I’m not okay” hidden behind a brave front, and the earnest wish to simply have someone by your side.
Over a mellow beat crafted by KM, the emotional vocals of Miliyah Kato blend with LANA’s cool flow, stirring the heart.
Released in July 2024, the song also drew attention as a collaboration between a Heisei-era gal and a Reiwa-era gal.
On nights when you feel alone, this song, which seems to speak on your behalf, will surely stay gently by your side.
I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan
The song “Sukicchuu no!” by HoneyWorks and Chuutan.
Compared to the previous track “Kawaikute Gomen,” it gives a calmer impression, but in turn it’s unified by an easy-to-sing vocal line.
The standout charm of this piece is, above all, its languid cuteness.
While the range is slightly high at mid2B to hiC, it’s relatively narrow for a female-vocal song.
Within that compact range, the skillful use of dynamics and melodic rises and falls clearly expresses femininity and cuteness.
It’s a top-tier example of a singable and adorable tune, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
