Lord of Major / Precious Things

The debut single by Road of Major passionately sings of the bittersweetness and hope of youth.

Released in September 2002, it powerfully portrays the importance of bonds, the sadness of parting, and the determination to set out on a new journey, all carried by a driving, exhilarating melody.

An exceptional feat for an indie single, it spent 19 consecutive weeks in the Oricon Top 10 and sold over 900,000 copies.

It is one of the band’s signature songs and was even used in 2009 as the commercial theme for the Mazda Mazda3 in Taiwan.

While it’s by no means easy to nail at karaoke, its refreshing melody makes it the perfect track for honestly conveying your feelings to someone important.

Time Paradox (Theme Song of the Movie Doraemon: Nobita’s Earth Symphony) / Vaundy: MUSIC VIDEO

A song that conveys the wish for each other’s happiness through a sci‑fi-like expression, as if you and the other person are hiding the future in your pockets.

Vaundy’s distinctive poetic wording and rhythmic melody blend beautifully, delivering a heartwarming message that resonates deeply.

The track was released in February 2024 as the theme song for the film “Doraemon: Nobita’s Earth Symphony.” It was also selected as the ending theme for the “Doraemon” anime, becoming a work loved by a wide range of generations.

It’s a recommended song for when you want to look back on memories with someone special or sing while thinking of that person.

I want to take only you away just like this.DEEN80rank/position

DEEN “I Want to Steal You Away Just Like This <Kiseki Version>”

DEEN’s debut single is a love song that portrays lingering feelings for a former lover and a yearning to reunite.

Through imagery such as quiet cityscapes and a nostalgic umbrella in the rain, it expresses the protagonist’s loneliness and solitude.

In the chorus, the fervent wish to “take you away” is repeated, infusing the song with a passionate emotion that resonates with many listeners.

Released in March 1993, it was featured in an NTT DoCoMo pager commercial.

The single reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a major hit with total sales of approximately 1.293 million copies.

It’s also recommended for those who want to sing an emotional ballad or practice mixed voice.

I want to become the wind.THE BOOM81rank/position

Kaze Ni Naritai (Samba, Novo)

A heartwarming message song woven from samba rhythms and Japanese lyrics.

It’s a gem that rides on a light, flowing groove to express the wish to be free together with a loved one.

Released in March 1995 as THE BOOM’s 16th single, it was also included on the previous year’s album “Kyokutou Samba.” Chosen for numerous commercials, including DC Card and J-PHONE, it left a lasting impression on many people.

With rich percussion and the gentle vocals of Kazufumi Miyazawa in perfect harmony, the song was featured in high school music textbooks and, in July 2013, realized a collaboration with a popular idol group on Fuji TV’s “FNS Uta no Natsumatsuri.” It’s a moving track to play when you want to feel the bond with someone special.

Spitz / Robinson

A classic Spitz song distinguished by its translucent melody and Masamune Kusano’s gentle vocals.

The lyrics beautifully express the wistfulness felt with the arrival of a new season, a pure desire to cherish a special world shared by just two people, and a longing to suddenly break free from the everyday and soar into a boundless universe.

Released in April 1995 as Spitz’s 11th single, the track was also included on the album Honey that same year.

It colored everyday life as an insert song for the Fuji TV drama Hakusen Nagashi and as the theme for Kirin Beverage’s Afternoon Tea commercials.

Sing it at karaoke with someone special and the tender mood will surely bring you closer.

It’s also perfect for a drive or for nights when you want to sink into a slightly bittersweet feeling.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE83rank/position

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Bitter Vacation” Official Music Video

When it comes to Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs, many people probably think of melodies with a wide vocal range backed by vocalist Motoki Omori’s overwhelming singing ability, and may have given up on trying them at karaoke because they seem difficult.

For those people, I recommend the song Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024.

Among Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s tracks, its melody line is relatively low in pitch and not overly complex, making it the kind of song you can sing comfortably along to its lively rhythm.

There are moments where a touch of irregular meter slips in, but once you get used to it, it’s not that hard—so be sure to add it to your karaoke repertoire.

KinKi Kids “Garasu no Shōnen” Music Video

KinKi Kids’ classic hit “Glass no Shōnen.” The song was composed by singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, and if you listen closely, you can definitely hear his signature style in places.

The track is notable for its soaring vocals, but the range is fairly narrow—mid1 E to mid2 G—so as long as you set the key appropriately, it’s easy to sing for both men and women.

The melody has a somewhat retro Showa-era feel, so if you’ve mastered vibrato, it will significantly elevate the quality of your performance.
