NinaSanada Naoki

Sanada Naoki’s husky voice brings out the charm of the song.

Written and composed by his mentor, Ikuzo Yoshi, this track was released in April 2025 in three editions: the Pink Snake version, the Blue Stripe version, and the JD version.

It’s a poignant number that looks back on one’s youthful days spent with a loved one.

The powerful arrangement feels like emotions overflowing.

Please listen while recalling your own younger days.

neuronaobouzu

Aibouzu is a band known for having many songs themed around youth.

Their musical style is characterized by pop rock, youth punk, and post-punk revival–centered tracks, and their catchy approach has earned them love from many Japanese rock fans.

Among Aibouzu’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Neuron.

While the sound is somewhat loud, the vocal line has a narrow range and little fluctuation, so as long as you follow the pitch normally, it’s possible to aim for a high score at karaoke.

YOASOBI’s new song “New me.” When you think of YOASOBI, sparkling pop tunes come to mind, but this track, while retaining that flavor, features smooth vocals that incorporate elements of city pop.

Musically, it has frequent key changes and falsetto, with pronounced jumps in pitch.

It doesn’t demand powerful vocals, but it does require impeccably precise pitch control, almost like a Vocaloid.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Takaaki Natsushiro’s “Nia” is a work released in 2017.

With its refreshing soundscape—featuring light, airy piano tones and emotional guitar sounds—it’s a Vocaloid track that feels cleansing to the soul.

The lyrics, centered around questions posed to the robot Nia, also carry a warmth that’s truly wonderful.

By the end, you’re left with the feeling of having watched an entire movie.

If you want to learn chords with a slightly chic resonance—different from major and minor chords—definitely give this one a try.

Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓

This is a signature song by THE HIGH-LOWS, where a rock sound and heartwarming lyrics are perfectly matched.

Featured on their October 1995 album “THE HIGH-LOWS,” the track gained attention as the ending theme for the TV show “Downtown no Gotsu Ee Kanji” and as the theme song for the 2004 film “Zebraman.” The protagonist’s resolve to live with humor and kindness, without hurting others, makes it universally relatable and deeply appealing.

With a lively rhythm and friendly melody that make its roughly six-minute runtime feel short, it’s a song you can relax and enjoy even at karaoke—a tune you’ll want to sing to your heart’s content with good friends.

The Days of Rainbows and Sneakerschūrippu

TULIP “Back When Rainbows and Sneakers” (Lyric Video)
The Days of Rainbows and Sneakerschūrippu

It is a classic song that leaves a strong impression with its delicate portrayal of youthful love and transience.

The scene of two people embracing in rain-soaked sweatshirts and the tender sentiment of cherishing a pair of sneakers are depicted with gentle warmth.

The lyrics symbolically express the disconnect between a man and a woman, a sudden farewell, and the immaturity of not yet being able to become an adult, all imbued with the bittersweet ache of youth.

Released in 1979 by Tulip, the song drew attention on TV programs such as The Best Ten and Yoru no Hit Studio, gaining popularity as a piece in which folk and pop are beautifully harmonized.

Kazuo Zaitsu’s warm vocals and the beautiful melody will surely comfort those who wish to heal the pain of heartbreak or look back on their cherished memories.

Crazy Ken Band, also known as “the premier sound creators of the East,” have released many stylish tracks, but the one I especially recommend is “2:22.” While the song doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it features many opening phrases that start a bit low, which really enhances the appeal of men with deeper voices.

It also has a slightly Showa-era vibe, making it especially recommended for those with a bit more life experience.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
