Swaying feelingsZARD43rank/position

Swaying Feelings (What a beautiful memory 2007)
Swaying feelingsZARD

ZARD was a music unit that ended its activities following the sudden passing of vocalist Izumi Sakai.

Their 8th single, “Yureru Omoi,” used in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat commercial, became a million-seller and is widely known as one of ZARD’s signature songs.

The gentle vocals and clear, transparent ensemble offer a soothing experience just by listening.

It’s a refreshing pop tune that we especially hope people in their 50s—the generation that grew up with it—will sing at karaoke.

JOYYU-KI44rank/position

YUKI’s “JOY,” released on January 19, 2005.

If you’re in your thirties, you probably listened to this song back in your school days.

Many people were likely shocked at the time by the shift from the band-focused sound of the JUDY AND MARY era to a more electronic style.

Listening to this track will surely remind you of the charm of YUKI’s adorable voice!

An emotionally moving song themed around the end of summer and friendship—this is ZONE’s signature work.

The lyrics, which depict the pure memories of one’s teenage years and farewells with dear friends, resonate deeply with listeners.

Released in August 2001, it became a massive hit, selling over one million copies.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kids War 3.” Its refreshing, acoustic-based sound is another part of its appeal.

If you’re singing it at karaoke, the end of summer or graduation season is especially fitting.

For those who have experienced parting with friends, it will surely strike a powerful chord.

Thank youikimonogakari

Since the late 2000s, Ikimonogakari has boasted top-tier sales and popularity in the J-pop scene, enjoying exceptional name recognition across all ages.

Their songs span a wide variety of genres, yet the melodies—anchored by simple, classic chord progressions—are incredibly pleasant and universally appealing.

It’s impressive how they consistently release “good songs” that don’t alienate any listeners.

Released in 2010, “Arigatou” served as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Gegege no Nyobo and is one of Ikimonogakari’s signature tracks, highly popular at karaoke.

While the chorus reaches slightly higher notes, it stays within a range manageable in chest voice, and there aren’t any large interval jumps, making it very singable and a strong candidate for a high karaoke score.

AM11:00HY47rank/position

Many people in their thirties probably grew up listening to HY during their youth.

Just hearing HY’s signature song “AM11:00” gets you hyped from the intro.

Back then, lots of people even used it as their mobile ringtone.

It’s also a popular karaoke staple, and for those in their thirties, it’s truly a song that brings back the feeling of youth.

Singing it as a male-female duet makes it even more exciting.

DEAR FRIENDSPERSONZ48rank/position

Parsons -DEAR FRIENDS- Version 1
DEAR FRIENDSPERSONZ

In the midst of the band boom, they gained popularity as a group with a slightly different flavor from all-female bands like Princess Princess and SHOW-YA.

Above all, JILL’s earth-shaking vocals were unforgettable, and they blazed through the band scene with a new kind of power rock that wasn’t just about intensity.

Their hit “DEAR FRIENDS,” the theme song for the drama Stepmother, and the album DREAMERS ONLY, which reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts, proved their popularity and true ability to the world.

“DEAR FRIENDS” is a difficult song to sing well, but if you’re from that generation, it’s definitely one you should try.

CHE.R.RYYUI49rank/position

YUI 『CHE.R.RY-short ver.-』
CHE.R.RYYUI

This is YUI’s eighth major-label single, written with a modern take on the heart-fluttering thrill of unrequited love.

Released in March 2007, it became widely known as the CM song for au by KDDI’s “LISMO!” The lyrics vividly capture youth communication of the time—emoji in mobile emails, the timing of replies—and overflow with pure feelings for someone so strong there’s no room for mind games.

The message about the bittersweet start of love will bring back the thrills of youth just by listening.

With light acoustic guitar and YUI’s clear, transparent vocals evoking the freshness of spring, this pop number is sure to be a hit at girls’ nights and karaoke.
