[Diva] Akina Nakamori’s easy-to-sing songs. For those who struggle with low notes, too (11–20)
Slow motionNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamura has left us with numerous famous songs, and her memorable debut single “Slow Motion,” released in 1982, is still a timeless classic.
With its slow tempo and simple melody, it’s also perfect for karaoke! In particular, the accompaniment in this song is simpler than in many of her other tracks, which makes the structure easier to remember.
Tying it to the idea of a debut single, it could be fun to choose this song as the first one to sing at karaoke!
forbidden zoneNakamori Akina
With lyrics by then up-and-coming lyricist Masao Urino and composition by Haruomi Hosono of YMO, this song feels as if it conveys the emotions of Akina Nakamori—a girl on the verge of stepping into an adult romance.
The contrast is striking between the A-melody, which is more like spoken lines than melody, with little tonal movement and a murmuring quality, and the chorus, which features many melodic leaps.
Listening to the cool, composed aspects of the song set against Nakamori’s passionate singing is fascinating.
It’s a highly recommended track, especially for those who want to enjoy Nakamori’s songs at karaoke.
Southern WindNakamori Akina
Southern Wind is also known for having been composed by Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai.
It’s Akina Nakamori’s eighth single.
The title means “south wind” and depicts a passionate romance on the beach.
Its dramatic development draws listeners in almost involuntarily.
Try practicing with a focus on the striking vibrato in the chorus.
If you nail that, the atmosphere will deepen considerably.
North WingNakamori Akina
Let me introduce Akina Nakamori’s 7th single, “North Wing.” This is a collaboration with Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe, depicting romance and inner conflict set against the backdrop of an airport.
A defining feature of the song is its structure: the A and B verses are sung at a slow tempo in a whispery voice, building up toward an impactful chorus.
Because of this, even singers who aren’t confident in their vocal power can create a strong, dramatic chorus.
By the way, there’s actually a sequel to this song, so you can enjoy performing them back-to-back.
The Ten CommandmentsNakamori Akina
The song “Jikkai” (Ten Commandments), which lets you enjoy a hard-boiled worldview, is also recommended.
It’s their ninth single, and over a rock sound it portrays a strong female figure.
With many impactful lines packed in, it’s sure to liven up the atmosphere when you sing it.
When performing, immerse yourself in the song’s world and give it a try.
In particular, the lines that feel like spoken dialogue can leave very different impressions depending on how much emotion you put into them.
Conversely, you could also say it’s a song that makes it easy to sing with feeling.
Mi Amore [Meu amor é…]Nakamori Akina

Songs with a Latin vibe are really cool, aren’t they? The one I’d like to introduce is “Mi Amore [Meu amor é…].” It’s her 11th single and is also known for winning the Japan Record Award.
Its greatest charm is the melody crafted by Latin musician Naoya Matsuoka.
The key is how you ride that melody when you sing.
When you actually try to sing it, you might panic because foreign languages are mixed in, but if you listen closely, you’ll notice the tempo isn’t all that fast.
So in fact, it’s a song that’s easy to get into and easy to sing.

caressNakamori Akina
Composed and arranged by Tetsuya Komuro, this song blends cutting-edge sounds of the time with Akina Nakamori’s vocals and is considered a signature masterpiece of her 1990s work.
Takashi Matsumoto’s poetic and sensuous lyrics, along with Akina’s distinctive expressiveness, are highly praised.
The overall vocal range spans D3 to G4, making it relatively easy to sing, and the climactic points are very clear.
With its mature vibe, it’s highly recommended for those who want to sing with a cool edge.
For the low notes in the A section, if you project your voice firmly into the mic as if pushing it out, it should resonate beautifully!
