Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking of Noriyuki Makihara [2026]

You are my treasure.Makihara Noriyuki36rank/position

Kimiha Bokuno Takaramono

This is the title track from the third album released in 1992, a warm ballad that closes the album.

Including the smash hits “Mou Koi Nante Shinai” and “Fuyu ga Hajimaru yo,” this album is known as an early landmark work, characterized by delicate lyrics and gentle melodies.

It’s the opposite of an upbeat song, so its range is a calm E3 to F#4, which may make it easier to sing for those who struggle with high notes.

When you sing, be careful not to sing only with your lips—make sure to send your voice and breath forward.

Try singing while extending your hands forward from your vocal cords.

If I hold youMakihara Noriyuki37rank/position

If I Embrace You / Noriyuki Makihara

“When I Hold You” is the 9th track on Noriyuki Makihara’s debut album “Kimi ga Warau Toki Kimi no Mune ga Itamanai You ni.” It has a somewhat sentimental vibe, and the lyrics depicting an awkward relationship between a man and a woman leave a strong impression.

The chorus stays in a relatively high range, so make sure to hit the notes accurately and sing it with control.

Since it’s a ballad, the lyrics aren’t densely packed and there aren’t any fast melodic lines, making it a great song to try at karaoke.

8 on the Oricon chart, and was also featured on the 2013 best-of album Haru Uta, Natsu Uta ~ Donna Toki mo.

The “peach” that appears in the lyrics as a symbol of weakness, ego, and someone precious to you also feels like a reminder to oneself.

Makihara has said he composed the song simply because peach is his favorite fruit.

The chorus repeats a catchy melody that’s easy to remember, making it a great pick for karaoke.

honest / frank / straightforward

Released on July 30, 1997, this is the 16th single overall and the first after moving to Sony Records.

It’s also the artist’s first attempt at a piano-only, self-accompanied ballad.

Chosen as the CM song for “Astel PHS,” it’s a poignant classic imagined for late-night radio play.

Highly recommended for those who want to sing with a gentle touch.

Since it’s sung with a calm mood throughout, avoid belting—aim for a light delivery and make good use of your breath.

It’s fine to let the voice come out thin, like in falsetto, so first focus on conveying a soft, tender atmosphere.
