Maki Ohguro’s famous and popular songs

Let me introduce songs by Maki Ohguro, a female singer who represents the 1990s.

Maki Ohguro began her career as a singer in 1989, but at first she could only work as a backing vocalist for other artists and endured a difficult apprenticeship period.

She made her solo debut in 1992 with “STOP MOTION,” but it reportedly didn’t sell very well.

However, her second single, “DA・KA・RA,” became a major hit, and from there she advanced on the path to becoming a popular singer.

Her powerful vocal ability—one of her greatest charms—may well be the result of those years of groundwork.

Now, please listen to the songs of Maki Ohguro, an artist with an overwhelming vocal presence.

IT'S ALL RIGHTDaikoku Maki

It’s a really wonderful song.

It brings back memories.

It’s one of the cool tracks.

Surprisingly, it’s easy to sing and has a great vibe for karaoke, but the high notes are a bit difficult.

I was surprised to see actors Go Ayano and Yoji Tanaka in the music video.

Go looks so young.

This song reminds me of the drama.

The beautiful vocals and the grand, expansive feel are great.

It’s so pleasant to listen to.

It brings back nostalgic memories from those days.

And the chorus is something everyone can sing, so it’s a karaoke classic.

Get fired upDaikoku Maki

It seems it had the best sales among the singles.

I listened to it so much that even now the lyrics come back to me—it’s kind of amazing.

Just like the lyrics say, it really fires you up.

And the singer, Oguro-neesan, comes across as a really cool, badass older-sister type.

Released in 1992, this song sings of the love of a strong yet graceful woman and won the support of many women.

Maki Ohguro’s songs are often thought to be challenging because of the high notes, but aside from the final high note, this one stays relatively in the mid-range and the melody is easy to remember.

It’s sure to be a hit at karaoke with a group of women, so give it a try and practice!

Maki Ohguro’s iconic and popular songs (21–30)

White GraduationDaikoku Maki

MakI Ohguro’s seventh single, highly praised by fans as “a song you want to listen to in winter” with “lyrics that hit home.” The title Shiroi Gradation (White Gradation) expresses the layering of various feelings in the heart like a gradation, and in fact, a “white gradation” does not actually exist.

Although it’s a technically demanding song that stays in the high register, its rhythm and tempo are relatively calm, making it approachable to try at karaoke.

It would be great if you could convey a sense of poignancy and ephemerality within a straightforward vocal tone.
