Karaoke Popular Song Rankings of Yosui Inoue [2026] (11–20)
Summer FestivalInoue Yosui15rank/position
A timeless classic that sings of a summer tradition everyone can hum along to.
Brimming with the charm of Yosui Inoue, this song remains as fresh as ever.
Released in 1972, it’s included on the album “Yosui II: Sentimental.” Through scenes of a summer festival, the lyrics evoke nostalgia and longing that resonate deeply.
Its gentle melody line and simple arrangement create a nostalgic atmosphere.
It’s a track best enjoyed at a leisurely pace while reflecting on memories with family and friends.
Perfect for summer evenings—highly recommended while sipping tea on the veranda.
Two People Who Can’t Go HomeInoue Yosui16rank/position
In 1973, Yosui Inoue released his third album, Ice World.
The album presented new musical possibilities to the scene at the time, and among its hidden gems is “Kaerenai Futari” (The Two Who Can’t Go Back).
The combination of simple folk-guitar accompaniment and a calm, wistful melody is exquisite, and its structure makes it easy to sing at karaoke.
After warming up your voice with this song, we recommend following it with the album’s title track, “Ice World!”
Heart patternInoue Yosui17rank/position
It was released in September 1973.
The lyrics, which entrust the heart’s feelings to a letter, are deeply moving.
Partway through, it shifts to an up-tempo beat, and your emotions surge all at once.
To express the helpless feelings of lovers separated by distance, singing with full emotion makes it sound really cool.
Traveler,Inoue Yosui18rank/position
If you heard this song without any prior context and felt like you’d heard it somewhere before, you’re probably quite well-versed in the Showa era—or from the generation that lived through it.
“Tabibito yo” was the B-side to Yuzo Kayama’s 1966 single “Yozora o Aoi de,” and the version introduced here is included on Yosui Inoue’s 2001 cover album “UNITED COVER.” Choosing the B-side rather than the A-side—now that’s impeccable taste.
The original, composed and arranged by Kayama himself and sung in a folk style with The Launchers, is reimagined by Inoue in a J-pop style, fully transfiguring it into the world of Yosui Inoue.
The melody is simple, the pitch easy to grasp, and the vocal range relatively narrow, so it should be quite manageable to sing without much difficulty.
East and WestInoue Yosui19rank/position
Literary and strongly message-driven, “Higashi e Nishi e” is a cynical cheer-up song also known for being covered by actor Masahiro Motoki.
Featured on Yosui Inoue’s second album, “Yosui II: Sentimental,” released in 1972, the track enjoys high recognition despite not being a single.
That makes it a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
Its vocal range isn’t wide, so even those who aren’t confident singers can give it a try.
When you need one more push with your studies or work, sing this song and get fired up!
Ice worldInoue Yosui20rank/position
This is a song included on the album “Kōri no Sekai” (Ice World), released on December 1, 1973.
The song became one of Yosui Inoue’s signature tracks.
Its lyrics, which express human emotions through the coldness of ice, are both enigmatic and profound.
If you sing it with emotion like Yosui Inoue, it’s a great song to liven up a karaoke session.

mobile phoneInoue Yosui21rank/position
Even if you say “mobile telephone,” it might not immediately resonate with younger people.
It’s a general term for telephones you can use while on the move—car phones, cell phones, PHS, and the like—and this song titled “Idō Denwa (Mobile Telephone)” captures the distinctive atmosphere of the 1990s, when the idea of carrying a phone gradually became ingrained for many.
Released in 1994 as Yosui Inoue’s 39th single, it was also used as the tie-in theme for the TBS drama “Yume Miru Koro o Sugitemo.” It’s a J-pop track that uses the so-called “hachiroku” (8-beat, 6/8 feel) rhythm, arranged by the one and only Takeshi Kobayashi.
While the overall vocal range isn’t particularly high, the pitch fluctuations are somewhat pronounced.
Moving from the calmly sung A section, through the gradually building B section, into the expansive, soaring chorus—delivering those contrasts can be a bit challenging.
It might help to practice each section separately.
