Kaiten-tai Karaoke Popular Song Ranking [2026]

This is the 25th single released by the folk group Kaientai, led by Tetsuya Takeda, released in November 1995.

Since it was chosen as the theme song for the fourth season of the smash-hit drama “Mr.

Kinpachi in Class 3-B,” starring Takeda himself, many of you may have heard it through the show.

I think Takeda’s gentle singing voice resonates very memorably in this piece.

The vocal melody is easy to hum and soothing, so without overthinking it, simply singing it plainly will let you deliver it nicely.

If you sing as if you’re gently placing your voice against your upper palate, you can get closer to the atmosphere of the original track, so please give it a try when you actually sing.

Come to think of it, we’ve come a long way. — Kaientai

This song is about a 14-year-old boy who once dreamed of the future and believed he could become many different versions of himself, looking back 30 years later at his realistic life and not knowing what lies ahead.

While Kaientai is famous for songs like “Okuru Kotoba” and “Haha ni Sasageru Ballad,” if you’re singing at karaoke, I recommend this one.
