shooting star

Singer-songwriter Chiharu Matsuyama, now regarded as a leading figure in the New Music scene, has produced numerous hit songs.

His 16th single, “Nagareboshi” (Shooting Star), was used as the theme song for the TV drama Mune Sawagu Ichigo-tachi.

Its relaxed tempo makes it approachable for karaoke, but since the overall key is high, consider adjusting the karaoke machine settings if it’s difficult to sing.

It’s a song that was a hit during the youth of people now in their 50s, so it’s a great number to perform at karaoke with others of the same generation.

Window (Chiharu Matsuyama) Chiharu Takamatsu

The theme of Chiharu’s song “Mado” (Window) is a former professional boxer who was imprisoned amid suspicions of a wrongful conviction.

It expresses in song the feelings of Iwao Hakamada from the famous 1966 “Hakamada Incident” that occurred in Shimizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

It’s a piece that lets you feel Chiharu’s warmth, kindness, and compassion.

Town Chiharu Matsuyama

“Machi” is a song I recommend listening to when you feel lonely and alone.

Despite being an outstanding student who graduated at the top of her class in high school, Chiharu grew up in a family that was not well-off and gave up on university to help her struggling family.

After graduating, she went to the city to work with the help of relatives, experiencing many hardships and pains.

“Machi” delicately captures the scenery of a lonely, aching heart amid the bustle of the big city.

youth

This song looks back on cherished moments from youth—walking alongside a beloved person—and the deep love that existed there.

Its light rhythm and distinctive guitar sound are striking, vividly conveying fresh, youthful scenery.

While it has a breezy feel, the rhythm is calm, so it’s important to relax and sing while truly listening to the sound.

The unique, slightly off-beat phrasing is also a key element that enhances the song’s atmosphere, so focusing on that aspect is highly recommended.

I love you more than anyone in this world.

The gentle melody continues, soothing the listener and offering a tender, ballad-style love song.

“Kono Yo de Kimi ga Ichiban Suki” (“I Love You Most in This World”) is a work brimming with affection.

This track was Chiharu Matsuyama’s 44th single, released in May 1998.

With its pastoral rhythm and harmonica intro, this slightly country-flavored song evokes the atmosphere of Hokkaido and was released in 1981.

It portrays the daily life of a young person who has come from Hokkaido to the big city, and its engaging, story-like lyrics make it easy for singers to visualize as they perform.

In the sections where the tempo slows down, singing with emotion will help you connect with listeners.

Try singing it while keeping a sense of purity and simplicity in mind.

Christmas [Chiharu Matsuyama]

It’s the 43rd single, released in 1997.

It masterfully blends the flavor of ’90s Christmas songs and is the artist’s first Christmas song.

It’s the perfect track for the early winter chill, when you long for a bittersweet melody.

The lyrics are simple, but you can feel the intense affection for a lover.

The lingering emotion of the long song is expressed through an extended outro—this is the part that brings the tears.
