MILIYAH Kato “Love is…”

This is Miliyah Kato’s 10th single, released in June 2007.

At first listen, many people might feel it’s quite difficult to sing, but the backing chord progression uses the classic ballad “Canon progression”—or rather, it’s arranged almost like putting vocals on Pachelbel’s Canon—so if you tackle it without hesitation, you should be fine.

When you get to the high notes near the end of the chorus, be mindful of keeping your head voice from bursting out too sharply; try to sing as gently as possible and give it a go.

DESIRE -jounetsu-

Akina Nakamori’s 14th single, released in February 1986.

This is another song I’d recommend for women who aren’t comfortable with high notes to sing at karaoke.

With this song, almost no one will have trouble with the high range.

However, if you treat it as easy due to the range and just hum through it casually, there’s a risk it will turn into a very flat and boring performance.

So especially at the beginning of the chorus, be sure to sing with a firm, resonant voice.

A low voice with good presence is one of the hardest things to achieve in singing, but please give it your best shot!

Inoue Sonoko “Tenbyō no Uta” (Solo ver.) Music Video

“Tenbyō no Uta,” released as a collaboration between the rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE and singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue.

The original showcases a stunning harmony between Daiki Omori and Sonoko Inoue, but there’s actually a solo version by Sonoko Inoue as well.

It’s a beautiful piece featuring her delicate vocals over a piano accompaniment.

Being a gentle ballad that expresses straightforward feelings, performing it at just the right moment might make the men present skip a heartbeat.

Ayaka – Crescent Moon

A song in which Ayaka’s voice resonates deeply with the heart.

It conveys the sorrow of a long-distance relationship by entrusting it to the crescent moon.

Even when apart, the feeling that hearts remain connected comes through on the gentle melody.

Released in September 2006, it was used as a theme song for an NHK program and in an au commercial.

It’s said that Ayaka’s own experiences are reflected in the lyrics, which may be why the raw emotions resonated with so many.

When you think of someone dear who is far away, listening to this song is sure to warm your heart.

Mika Nakashima 'Yuki no Hana' Music Video

This grand love ballad, which delicately portrays the aching feelings of winter romance, is a masterpiece marked by Mika Nakashima’s clear, pure vocals and a crystalline piano tone.

With finely wrought words that depict snow falling over a quiet town, it beautifully conveys both the vow of eternal love and its fragility.

Released in October 2003, this song has been etched in many hearts as a quintessential winter ballad.

Why not sing it with all your heart, filling it with thoughts of someone special?
