MUGO... so sexyKudō Shizuka

This is a striking song featuring lyrics that depict the emotions of a woman carrying feelings she can’t put into words.

Released in August 1988, it was also used as the promotional image song for Kanebo’s ’88 autumn campaign.

It conveys the importance of nonverbal communication and skillfully portrays the passionate emotions held within.

Shizuka Kudo’s vocals and Miyuki Nakajima’s lyrics blend beautifully, resulting in a track filled with deep emotion.

It’s a moving masterpiece that I’d recommend to anyone harboring unspoken feelings or struggling with love.

It’s impossible…wagahai P

[Hatsune Miku] It's Impossible... [Original]
It's impossible...wagahai P

This is a song posted by Wagahai-P in 2010.

The gentle singing voice of Hatsune Miku, the cool and crystalline tone, and the heartrending lyrics create a melancholy atmosphere.

It’s a heartbreak song about harboring unspoken feelings that can never be confessed.

If you’ve experienced the pain of unrequited love that ended before it began, you might relate.

This piece, which portrays the joy of a village festival celebrating a bountiful autumn harvest, is loved by people of all ages, from children to adults.

The lyrics that depict the sounds of flutes and drums as “don-don hyarara” leave a strong impression.

Since it was included in an elementary school textbook in 1912, the lyrics have gradually changed over time, but it continues to be sung today as an important song that conveys Japanese traditions and culture.

When singing with older adults, it’s also recommended to clap along or move your body in time with the lyrics.

It seems like a fun way to exercise while reminiscing about the past.

These are Japanese folk songs and children’s songs included in the 1912 (Meiji 45) elementary school music textbook Jinjo Shogaku Shoka.

The book featured a variety of songs that are still sung today, such as “Snail” (Katatsumuri), “Spring Stream” (Haru no Ogawa), “Home” (Furusato), “Misty Moonlit Night” (Oborozukiyo), and “Tea Picking” (Chatsumi).

Suisei Hoshimachi, a singer who represents hololive.

Lately, her collaboration with Kuzuha from Nijisanji has been a hot topic in streaming and the VTuber scene.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Moonlight.

It’s not an extremely difficult piece, but falsetto appears throughout.

In addition, it incorporates R&B elements, so applied techniques like riffs and runs are also needed.

If you’re confident in singing soft high notes, definitely give it a try.

Gen Hoshino’s single “Yume no Soto e” is a track released on July 4, 2012.

With its refreshing sound and vocals, it’s exceptionally easy to sing at karaoke.

The vocal range isn’t too wide, and the melody is comfortably hummable.

The lyrics take “going outward” as their theme—going out, outputting what’s in your head, creating works—and the phrasing carries a somewhat philosophical tone.

Savor the thoughtful lyrics and catchy melody, and be sure to enjoy singing it at karaoke.

The lyrics express a mother’s love for her child, making it a moving tearjerker.

It’s also recommended as wedding BGM.
