“Tenbyō no Uta,” released as a collaboration between the rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE and singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue.

The original showcases a stunning harmony between Daiki Omori and Sonoko Inoue, but there’s actually a solo version by Sonoko Inoue as well.

It’s a beautiful piece featuring her delicate vocals over a piano accompaniment.

Being a gentle ballad that expresses straightforward feelings, performing it at just the right moment might make the men present skip a heartbeat.

“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.

Be…Ms. OOJA

Released in 2012 as Ms.OOJA’s fifth single.

It was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Renai Neet: Wasureta Koi no Hajimekata,” and an alternative arrangement titled “Be…

duet with Kaoru Kurosawa” was included as a bonus track on her 2016 best-of album.

It’s a song you’ll want to sing gently to women, with an understanding of the lyrics.

Superfly, who keeps delivering a rock groove that feels anything but typical for Japan.

It might be a bit tough to sing well, but even so, this is one song I really want women to sing: “Like a Shining Moon.” The lyrics—like speaking directly to someone, saying “Because you’re here, I can be me.

Thank you”—really stir a man’s heart… If she sings it with a smile, you can’t help but fall for her, right? It was also the theme song for the TV drama “Summer Rescue: The Sky Clinic.” It always starts playing in those moments when you feel relieved.

If you’re unsure what to sing, definitely choose this one!

YOASOBI always creates songs based on literary works, and this time the theme is Osamu Suzuki’s “Tsuki Ōji” (Moon Prince).

It seems their appearance on Suzuki’s radio show was the catalyst.

If you’ve been hesitant because YOASOBI’s songs often have high keys and strong, powerful vocals and feel a bit out of reach, I think this song, “Haruka,” will be fine.

Its warm, gentle mood is especially recommended for women who might usually be seen as a bit intense.

A soft, cozy song like this will give you a milder aura! And since it’s mid-tempo, it’s also suitable for women who aren’t very confident at karaoke.

StoryAI

Speaking of love songs you’d want someone to sing at karaoke, this one is captivating too.

AI, the singer known for her upbeat personality and memorable sports tie-ins, has her signature song “Story.” The charm of this track lies in its gentle lyrics carried by a powerful vocal delivery.

With its straightforward message, it feels like a song you can pour your heart into at karaoke.

Although it was released in 2005, it remains an inspiring classic that always feels close by, offering comfort whenever you listen.

Singer-songwriter AI, whose exposure to authentic gospel music has formed the roots of her voice and musicality.

Her digital-only single Aldebaran, chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Come Come Everybody, also drew attention for being written by singer-songwriter Naotaro Moriyama.

If a woman you’re interested in sings it at karaoke, a man might find his heart instantly captured from the very first line.

It’s a soulful number whose resonant ensemble stirs the heart.
