Kazuyoshi Saito’s Most Popular Karaoke Songs Ranking [2026]

Kazuyoshi Saito – Come for Love [Music Video Short ver.]

A passionate love song that portrays the heart of a woman who lives for love.

“Ai ni Kite,” included on the 12th album I ♥ ME released in 2007, is a mid-tempo track chosen for UHA Mikakuto’s e-ma throat lozenges commercial.

The way its straightforward lyrics—“I want to see you”—are paired with an understated, unforced melody feels very much like Saito-san’s style.

It’s great for karaoke, of course, and I think it’s also perfect for solo performances on guitar or piano.

Red Sunflower

A bluesy sound arrangement and a weathered, forlorn vocal tone are a perfect match.

This is “Akai Himawari” (Red Sunflower), included on their eighth album, 35 STONES, released in 2002.

The lyrics, which seem to take a somewhat cynical look at a single woman, feel a bit downbeat, yet they also jolt you with glimpses of humanity and truth.

It’s precisely because of the languid vocal delivery that you end up perceiving the song that way, I suppose.

If you’re going to sing it, by all means try mimicking this singing style.

Kazuyoshi Saito – HAPPY [Lyric Video]

Kazuyoshi Saito is a renowned singer-songwriter with a career spanning over 30 years, admired by many fellow musicians for his unique, uncompromising stance that resists trends.

A devoted Loudness fan and former metalhead in his youth, Saito possesses a broad musical range that defies categorization, excelling in rock, pop, and ballads alike.

His subtly awkward, deeply expressive vocals and lyrics are also irresistibly appealing.

Released in April 2025, Saito’s “HAPPY” is an anthemic track propelled by rough-edged guitar sounds, written as the theme song for the TV program “Saturday LIVE News Zigzag.” It’s a song you’ll definitely want to try at karaoke: its wistfully moving melody is sure to resonate across generations.

The rapid-fire vocal line that appears in the chorus takes a bit of practice, but once you get used to it, it isn’t difficult—so sing it repeatedly until you can deliver it smoothly!

Sunflower DreamSaitō Kazuyoshi20rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito – Sunflower Dream [Music Video Short ver.]

Overflowing with a sense of openness and carrying a positive message to go big without sweating the small stuff, this is a classic by Kazuyoshi Saito that resonates deeply with adults caught up in the demands of everyday life.

Featured on the concept album “ONE NIGHT ACOUSTIC RECORDING SESSION at NHK CR-509 Studio,” released in September 2012, this track was also used in the Sapporo Hokkaido PREMIUM commercial starring Nanako Matsushima.

The groove unique to its acoustic arrangement pairs perfectly with Saito’s warm vocals, creating a soothing comfort that makes your shoulders naturally relax as you listen.

Perhaps it’s precisely the generation shouldering responsibilities at work and at home that needs the song’s generous worldview.

Give it a listen on a weekend drive, or when you want to pause and take a deep breath!
