Gilbert O’Sullivan – Alone Again (original version)

As you can tell from the O’ in his name, Gilbert O’Sullivan is an Irish singer, and this is his signature song.

“Alone Again” is practically synonymous with Gilbert O’Sullivan.

Even those who don’t know the song title or the artist’s name have probably heard it at least once.

It remains a timeless classic more than 30 years after its release.

We’re All Alone

This is a representative song of the Adult Contemporary (AOR) genre released in 1976 by American singer Boz Scaggs.

It’s been used in TV dramas and films in Japan, so it’s a tune many people are sure to have heard.

I don’t think it’s particularly difficult to sing, so perform it sweetly, gently, and with a touch of wistfulness.

Kylie Minogue – Turn It Into Love [1988] Music Video from DVD source

The original is by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, but in Japan the cover by the idol duo WINK might be more famous.

It’s a bittersweet yet upbeat Eurobeat-style track with a very singable melody.

Be sure to perform it with WINK’s choreography!

Strawberry Switchblade — Since Yesterday

A female duo from Glasgow, Scotland.

Their polka-dot-themed outfits were memorable, weren’t they? This is their 1984 number, known in Japanese as “Futari no Yesterday.” It’s a very poppy tune that doesn’t particularly demand strong vocal technique or volume, so just have fun with the vibe and sing it cutely.

This is a motivational song by Taylor Swift, approached with vocal skills that express both delicacy and power over a girlish acoustic sound.

With nuanced vocal work that also suits women in their 30s, it has a style that makes you want to sing it at karaoke.

Adele – Someone Like You (Official Music Video)

With a smooth, mature vibe, this song is easy for women in their 40s to sing.

If you hold back and pour emotion into the chorus, you’re sure to capture everyone’s attention! There are a few higher notes, but in live versions Adele herself sings in a lower key, so try following her lead!
