Noriko Sakai’s 27th single, released in May 1995.

It also served as the theme song for the drama “Hoshi no Kinka” and became her biggest hit.

Composed by Tetsurō Oda, who churned out hit songs in 90s J-pop, the track is clearly crafted with the karaoke market in mind, making it very easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

That karaoke-friendly quality was a major factor for a song to become a hit back in the 90s.

Many of you probably loved the drama as well, so take a trip down memory lane and give it a sing.

By the way, real rabbits don’t actually die from loneliness (lol).

wicked womanNakajima Miyuki62rank/position

Miyuki Nakajima has released a lot of hit songs.

One I’d like to recommend, with a comfortable vocal range, is “Akujo” (Bad Girl), released in October 1981.

Just from the title you might think, “Is it a dark song?” but the tune is surprisingly bright and the melody is easy to remember.

When you look at the lyrics, though, you’ll think, “It’s kind of a bittersweet song…” The verses (A-melo to B-melo) are sung fairly low, almost like speaking, and there’s a part in the chorus where the pitch suddenly jumps up, so watch out there.

Time your entry for the high notes and throw yourself into it—project your voice with momentum! That way you can sing comfortably without straining your throat.

If your timing is off it’ll feel odd, so keep practicing until you nail the timing.

Wine Red Heartanzenchitai63rank/position

It was the fourth single by Anzenchitai, released in November 1983.

This is also one of the classic Showa-era songs that will go down in history.

Although they debuted in 1982, they hadn’t had a hit single yet, and this track was created through vocalist Koji Tamaki’s hard work to produce a hit.

As a result, it’s very friendly and easy to remember, with a melody that anyone can sing along to at karaoke and the like.

Have fun singing it by imitating Tamaki’s very distinctive vocal style! Just be careful not to strain your throat too much on the high notes in the chorus.

Falling in LoveKobayashi Akiko64rank/position

“Falling in Love ~Fall in love~” Akiko Kobayashi (VINYL)
Falling in LoveKobayashi Akiko

This was singer-songwriter Akiko Kobayashi’s debut single, released in August 1985.

It became a major hit, partly because it was chosen as the theme song for the hugely popular TBS drama “Friday Wives III: Falling in Love.” The song’s success earned her the Newcomer’s Award at the 27th Japan Record Awards that same year.

Given how big a hit it was, I’d imagine that as of August 2023, there are few women in their 50s who haven’t heard it.

It’s a very gentle, tender ballad, and the vocal melody doesn’t cover a particularly wide range, so I think it’s an easy selection to sing even for those who don’t usually sing much.

Be sure to cherish each word of the lyrics and take care not to let your singing become careless.

Don’t give upZARD65rank/position

Mai Kuraki “Don’t Give Up” (Cover) (Full Ver.)
Don't give upZARD

This was ZARD’s sixth single, released in January 1993.

It’s a textbook example of a hit from the golden age of 1990s J-pop, and as of 2020, there are probably few women in their 50s who haven’t heard it.

Many people likely have memories associated with this song, too.

With Izumi Sakai’s friendly voice and singing style on the original track, and given that the music industry at the time was strongly focused on the karaoke market—prioritizing songs that are “easy to sing at karaoke”—this is a number I can confidently recommend even to those who aren’t confident singers as a great karaoke pick!
