I am a piano.Takada Mizue83rank/position

I am a piano.

Mizue Takada, an idol singer who rose to popularity in the late 1970s.

She gained fame as the 18th Grand Champion on Fuji TV’s audition program “You Are the Star!” and went on to produce many classic songs, making full use of her vocal ability, which was among the highest even by idol standards of the time.

Among her works, the one I particularly recommend is “Watashi wa Piano” (“I Am a Piano”).

It’s a sultry piece, arranged overall in the lower-mid to mid vocal range.

Please give it a try and sing it.

Pink Lady de Nagisa no Sindbad

This was Pink Lady’s fourth single overall, released on June 10, 1977.

Since it was a song by Pink Lady at the height of their popularity, I imagine that, as of 2022 when this piece is being written, many women in their 50s have sung this song at least once.

I myself am in my mid-50s now, and I clearly remember how, back when I was in elementary school, lots of girls in my class would line up and sing and dance to this song.

When you sing it at karaoke, be sure to recall the choreography and enjoy performing it with the moves! The duo’s harmonies from the B section onward aren’t that difficult, so if you can recreate them and sing along, that’s the best!

Hitoto Yo – Hanamizuki

This is the fifth single by Yo Hitoto, a female singer from Taiwan, released in February 2004.

Although the song’s ballad-like tone and lyrics might not suggest it, it is said to have been inspired by the September 11 attacks in the United States.

As mentioned, it’s a ballad, so it’s not the kind of song that will get everyone hyped up at karaoke.

However, perhaps only a “mature woman” can truly capture the mood of this deeply layered piece.

Please enjoy singing it with rich emotion.

I believe the way you shape the sound of each word in the lyrics and how you handle the spaces between phrases are crucial when performing this song, so I recommend studying the original track carefully in advance if possible.
