Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi43rank/position
A timeless adult classic by Kazuyoshi Saito, celebrated for its deeply moving vocals and rich storytelling.
This exquisite ballad conveys heartfelt emotions for a loved one—feelings that are hard to say out loud—set to song with disarming honesty.
Its simple melody and resonant guitar gently enfold the lyrical world.
Since its release in November 1997, many artists have covered it, and in 2017 it was used as the theme song for the animated film “Lu Over the Wall.” In August 2022, a performance on THE FIRST TAKE drew significant attention, extending its appeal to a new generation.
With a relaxed tempo and a relatively narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing with ease.
Why not sing it with all your heart, pouring your feelings for someone special into every note?
thrillHotei Tomoyasu44rank/position
“Thrill,” also famous as Egashira 2:50’s entrance song.
Released in October 1995 as the fifth single, it’s one of Tomoyasu Hotei’s signature tracks that topped the Oricon chart.
Blending a driving rock sound with pop sensibilities, it enjoyed great popularity as the first release of his solo career after Guitarhythm ended.
You’ll want to avoid stumbling over the well-known opening lyrics.
In particular, the “h” sounds push out a lot of breath and become quite difficult when delivered like a tongue twister, so try singing with a smaller mouth shape to avoid over-enunciating.
Right before the first chorus, in the shout-like section, clearly articulating each word should help your voice come out satisfyingly.
Longing, poignancy, and strength of heartShinohara Ryoko with t.komuro45rank/position
Ryoko Shinohara’s classic hit “Itoshisa to Setsunasa to Kokorozuyosa to.” Since Tetsuya Komuro composed it, you can hear that signature Komuro sound throughout the track.
It was also the theme song for the legendary game Street Fighter, so it probably left a strong impression, didn’t it? While the song is characterized by its soaring vocals, the range itself isn’t very wide—roughly mid2B to hiD—so it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
There’s no use of falsetto, and the melody is fairly simple, so as long as you set the key right, you should be able to sing it without any trouble.
I want to become the wind.THE BOOM46rank/position
The 16th single by THE BOOM, released in March 1995.
Just as the title suggests, it’s a song with a refreshing melody that feels like a pleasant tropical breeze.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, making it very approachable and easy to sing.
With its samba rhythm, even humming it lightly can put you in a tropical mood.
When singing, if you take care to maintain the samba groove, you should be able to sing it well.
eternityZARD47rank/position
Released in 1997, it was the theme song for the drama “Shitsurakuen.” The overall vocal range is F3 to C#5.
It’s a gently narrated ballad, and even if you’re not confident with high notes, you can definitely pull it off if you sing carefully.
The chorus has challenging pronunciation and high notes, but the key is to create ample space inside your mouth to let the sound resonate.
Try not to use your throat; it’s good if you can produce an “n” sound with a humming sensation.
At this point, it can be tricky without using your breath, so imagine sustaining all the breath you inhale as a continuous hum.
Also, clearly articulating vowels is important.
That will make your voice crisp and your words easier to understand.
In the chorus, sing with higher energy.
You are in full color.Ohtaki Eiichi48rank/position
Eiichi Ohtaki, an artist who laid the foundation for Japanese city pop.
He also worked as a producer and label head, launching talented singer-songwriters such as Tatsuro Yamashita.
Among Ohtaki’s renowned masterpieces is “Kimi wa Ten’nen Shoku” (“You’re Natural Color”).
Although often thought to require a wide vocal range, the actual range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.
The melody is expansive, so a certain lung capacity is needed, but the pitch movement is gentle, making it a comparatively easy song to sing.
Swaying feelingsZARD49rank/position
A singable, pleasant melody is key when choosing songs for karaoke.
ZARD’s hit song “Yureru Omoi” fits that bill perfectly.
Known also as a commercial jingle, its bittersweet lyrics and nostalgic melodic line weave a harmony that even those not used to singing can easily hum along to.
The familiar phrases are quick to remember, and you’ll find your body naturally moving to the rhythm.
Why not enjoy “Yureru Omoi” at karaoke—a song everyone can passionately sing along to, filled with memories?
