This is a signature song by the rock band yonige.

It’s included on the mini-album “Coming Spring,” released in August 2015, and the impactful direction in the music video became a major topic of conversation, especially on social media.

You’re instantly captivated by the intro that feels like sunlight streaming in.

It has SHE’S’s signature beautiful melody and a sense of clarity.

The music video featuring Sho Kiyohara and Natsumi Okamoto is heartwarming as well.

Even if there’s a small misunderstanding, I’m sure you can overcome it by listening to this song.

BEGIN / “Shimanchu nu Takara” 20th Anniversary MV

A classic song that represents Okinawa, widely known as the image song for NHK’s “30th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion to the Mainland.” It’s popular across generations, but when a man in his 50s sings it at karaoke or in a snack bar, his life experience adds a persuasive depth that warms up the room.

Since the song itself has a gentle Okinawan feel, it’s better to sing softly, as if speaking to the listener, rather than belting it out.

The melody flows smoothly, so try not to break the phrases too much—take a good breath and sing through to the end of each line.

That will help bring out the right atmosphere.

FIELD OF VIEW – Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku (QHD Remastered Video)

DAN DAN Kokoro Hikareteku, famous as the theme of Dragon Ball GT, is an exceptionally easy-to-sing, high-scoring song among 90s anime-song × J-pop rock tracks! The overall vocal range is G#2 to A4, and the song starts right off with the chorus, so the first note is crucial since it sits a bit on the higher side.

As a band-style track, it should be easy to lock into the rhythm.

From the very beginning, focus on projecting your voice and aim it far forward.

It’s very important to prepare your voice as if taking a running start.

Since the melody generally climbs higher with each phrase, it’s best to sing with a growing sense of momentum.

I want to take only you away just like this.

Released in March 1993 as DEEN’s debut single, this masterpiece has long been cherished as one of their signature songs.

Its poignant melody and lyrics that portray a deep longing for someone drifting away strike right at the heart.

Written by Sho Uesugi and composed by Tetsuro Oda, it was also used in an NTT DoCoMo “Pocket Bell” commercial and went on to become a million seller at the time.

The sweet, clear vocals gently cradle the pain of heartbreak, making it a song many find themselves wanting to listen to in quiet moments.

It’s also a karaoke staple, a classic ballad perfect for singing with poise while reminiscing about those days.

It’s included on the album “DEEN,” so be sure to enjoy it with a sense of nostalgia!

Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu83rank/position

The Checkers “Lullaby of a Zigzag Heart” (LIVE)

The Checkers, with Fumiya Fujii on vocals, were hugely popular as an idol-style band in the 1980s.

I love the intro to this song, and it modulates at the end so the pitch goes up! It’s just too cool.

The same melodic line repeats several times, and the overall range sits comfortably for male voices, so it seems perfect for singing along and having fun.

By the way, did you know the very last phrase after the key change in the final chorus goes even higher? When you sing it at karaoke, focus on that part and nail the pitch—you’ll land it in style! In general, if you keep your energy up while singing, your vocal cords will resonate better and the high notes will come out more easily, so go for it with confidence!
