Noriyuki Makihara - Almost at the Top (with Lyrics)

“Teppe-n Made Mousugu” is a track included on Noriyuki Makihara’s third album, Kimi wa Boku no Takaramono, released in 1992, which reached No.

2 on the Oricon charts.

The lyrics depict a heart-fluttering moment on the Ferris wheel they rode last at an amusement park visited with his girlfriend, and listening to it really warms the heart.

As a waltz-style ballad built on triplets in 3/4 time, it should create a cozy atmosphere when sung at karaoke.

It’s nice if you can switch your delivery to suit the song—singing the first verse with its piano accompaniment and the second verse, where the rhythm comes in, by riding the groove and staying close to the feel of the track.

Thank you very much.Makihara Noriyuki72rank/position

Thank You Very Much — Noriyuki Makihara cover. Dōmo-kun 20th Anniversary campaign song, included on Design & Reason, with lyrics.

This song was created as a special commemorative piece to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NHK’s character Domo-kun.

Conveying twenty years’ worth of “thank yous” from Domo-kun, the song is accompanied by a lovely special movie presented in a drama style.

The lyrics are very simple so that the word “thank you” really comes across, and that simplicity, in turn, seems to highlight the word “thank you” even more.

Chicken Rice (2020 ver.)

It’s a cover of a collaboration song with Masatoshi Hamada that Mr.

Makihara himself composed, and it’s included on the 2006 album “LIFE IN DOWNTOWN.” In this version, where Mr.

Makihara sang chorus in the original, he takes the lead vocal, featuring a warm self-arrangement that has been highly praised by fans.

With Makihara singing, the sound has a gentle, effortlessly sung feel, so it seems fine to approach it with a light touch when you sing.

Try singing with a slightly higher, constantly resonant tone, keeping the sound ringing in your head.
