Southern All Stars – Midsummer Fruit [Live at Chigasaki Park Baseball Stadium, 2023]

A classic song released in July 1990 that poignantly portrays a bittersweet love.

As the theme song for the film “Inamura Jane,” directed by Keisuke Kuwata, this ballad was presented to the world by Southern All Stars.

Set against the transition from late summer to autumn, it delicately weaves the feelings of a man reflecting on a past romance with subtle melodies and beautiful words.

Memories by the seaside, the lingering traces of love that remain in the heart, the loneliness of being drenched by the chill of autumn rain—its poetic world resonates deeply with listeners.

After its release, it reached No.

4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a hit certified Platinum.

It’s a song that gently accompanies those nights when you want to dwell in the afterglow of summer and face your nostalgic memories.

Aqua Timez “Life-Size Love Song” Music Video

This number-one song that people want their loved one to sing is Aqua Timez’s “Love Song at Life Size.” The manliness felt within the clumsiness makes your heart skip a beat.

You can sense the message that there are things more important than putting love into words.

It’s a song I want people to listen to if they’re feeling anxious because their partner doesn’t say “I love you” as often as they used to.

Are you sane to marry them?SARD UNDERGROUND59rank/position

SARD UNDERGROUND “Are You Sane About That Marriage?” MV

This is the fourth digital single by the three-woman rock band SARD UNDERGROUND, released in July 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TOKYO MX drama “Sono Kekkon, Shouki Desu ka?” (Are You Sane to Marry?).

As SARD UNDERGROUND originated as a ZARD tribute band, the song strongly reflects ZARD’s style.

The vocal melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, making it a tune many people can casually hum along to.

Throughout the song, singing lightly and without tension is the key to making it sound good, so please give it a try.

Rock ‘n’ Roll in a Dumped MoodTOM CAT60rank/position

Rock ’n’ Roll in a Dumped Mood

TOM★CAT is a band that gained popularity for its highly original sound, blending elements of rock into the unique genre of techno kayō.

They have many classic songs, but among them, the one that stands out as especially popular is “Furarekibun de Rock’n’ Roll,” isn’t it? While the song has an energetic and bright feel, its vocal range is relatively narrow, spanning mid2 C# to hi F.

Since the overall range sits high, those with lower voices will need to lower the key as a premise; however, because the range itself is narrow, there’s ample room to transpose it downward.

Remioromen – March 9

This graduation song masterpiece by Remioromen is perfect for the season of farewells and new encounters.

Originally composed for a friend’s wedding, the track later came to be cherished as a graduation song that resonates with many people.

Many may also remember it with deep emotion as an insert song in the drama “1 Litre of Tears.” The band sound, which gradually builds from a quiet beginning, beautifully captures both the excitement and the anxiety of a new departure.

You might even try singing it at karaoke to express your gratitude to someone important to you.

EGO-WRAPPIN' 'Cherry on the Beak'

EGO-WRAPPIN’s song “Kuchibashi ni Cherry” caught people’s attention as the theme song for the 2000 drama Private Detective Mike Hama.

Yoshie Nakano’s vocals, blending distinctive jazz with Showa-era pop, feel like a timely burst of energy.

Released from the album Night Food, this track is a perfect fit for women in their 40s who never seem to tire.

On busy workdays, when you want to recharge, riding its rhythm naturally lifts your spirits.

Its melody—sweet like ripe fruit and at times sharp—will surely brighten your heart!

The Beatles – The Beatles – Hey Jude (Official Music Video) [Remastered 2015]

Released as the first single from Apple Records and included on the compilation album of the same name, the song “Hey Jude” was written by Paul McCartney to comfort John Lennon’s son, Julian Lennon.

It is also known as an unusually long ballad for pop music, running over seven minutes.

Overall, the vocal range is narrow and easy to sing, but the melody rises and falls sharply, so take care not to miss the notes.

With a chorus that repeats at the end and invites a crowd sing-along, it’s a heartwarming number.
