astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN42rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Stargazing”

BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Tentai Kansoku” (Stargazing) is a classic that even teenagers who aren’t from that generation know! Ever since it was used as an insert song in the 2002 drama “Tentai Kansoku” starring Hideaki Ito, it has been loved for many years not only by BUMP’s devoted fans but by a wide audience.

It’s said to be performed at almost every live show, so even teenage girls who have just become fans will be fine! For women, the verses may feel a bit low, but in that case, you can raise the key slightly; it won’t make the chorus too strenuous, so try bumping it up a little.

SenbonzakuraWagakki Band43rank/position

Wagakki Band / Senbonzakura

The Vocaloid song “Senbonzakura” is very famous, and this time I’ll explain it using the easier-to-understand Wagakki Band version.

Since the lyrics contain lots of difficult kanji and words, I recommend memorizing it by ear so you can handle it at karaoke! When singing, the key point is to articulate clearly so the words don’t get blurred.

In particular, crisp vowel pronunciation will make it easier to listen to and sing.

The A-melody has a lot of words, so rather than “singing every single word firmly,” it’s probably best to sing with a light, bouncy feel.

The chorus builds toward the end and includes some long notes, so singing in a comfortable voice for you will feel great.

It’s a famous song, so many people have covered it.

Be sure to listen to various versions of “Senbonzakura” and find the one you like best!

Macaroni Empitsu 'Blueberry Nights' MV

Macaroni Enpitsu is a rock band popular mainly among teens and people in their twenties.

Their song Blueberry Nights, included on the 2020 album hope, is a fan favorite.

It’s a track that sings from the perspective of a woman who decides to break up even though she’s still in love, capturing a heartbreaking emotional turmoil.

Even when your head understands it’s time to part, your heart can’t keep up—this conveys the raw pain of a real breakup.

Spring ~spring~Hysteric Blue47rank/position

Haru ~spring~ (春~spring~)

When the season of farewells arrives, we long not only for a touch of sadness but also for the courage to take the next step.

Released in January 1999, this Hysteric Blue song is a springtime staple that resonates with such complex feelings.

Beyond referring to the season, the title also carries the idea of “springing” like a coil, conveying a powerful message that doesn’t end in sorrow.

In fact, the vocals by Tama used in the recording are said to be the original demo take, kept as-is before any rerecording.

Brimming with the impulse of the moment, the track was also included on the album “baby Blue” and became well-loved as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Mokugeki! Dokyun.” It’s a classic even performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen—why not celebrate new beginnings with this bright, uplifting song?

P.S.I LOVE YOUPINK SAPPHIRE48rank/position

[Official] PINK SAPPHIRE “P.S. I LOVE YOU” (Music Video) Pink Sapphire / P.S. I Love You (1st single)

They made waves by appearing on the legendary late-night show “Yūji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Heaven” and went on to debut just like that.

Their debut song “P.S.

I LOVE YOU” was used as a TV drama’s theme and became a smash hit, shooting straight to No.

2 on the Oricon charts—a true Cinderella band.

Their look, which seemed to fuse cute and cool into one, also drew attention at the time.

Their approachable songs—what you could call rock-pop—are still fun to listen to and share today.

If anyone knows them, it’d be great to sing along together.

Lord of Major / Precious Things

“I want to be popular with women!” I think this is a common wish among men.

The impression you make depends on what you sing when you go to karaoke with a woman.

Songs that nobody knows kill the vibe, and I can’t recommend cutesy tunes or heartbreak songs either.

This song by Road of Major is rock, so it doesn’t pander too much to women and has an upbeat sound, but the key point is that the lyrics resonate with women.

Plus, it’s easy to sing, making it a great choice even for those who can’t claim to be good singers!

Take My Breath AwayBerlin50rank/position

Berlin – Take My Breath Away (Official Video – Top Gun)

This is the song known as the love theme that colored the romance between Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis in the 1986 film Top Gun.

It was created by Berlin, a synth-pop band from Los Angeles.

Composed by the master Giorgio Moroder, its structure is breathtaking, developing from a gasp-inducing synth bass riff into a grand chorus.

It topped both the U.S.

and U.K.

charts, and in 1987 it won Best Original Song at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes.

Terri Nunn’s soulful vocals meld with the dreamy arrangement to paint a poignant yet beautiful soundscape.

Many listeners likely remember this track alongside the film’s iconic scenes.

Play it as background music for a drive date or during treasured moments with someone special, and those passionate feelings from back then are sure to come rushing back.
