Ko Shibasaki “Things That Have Form” (Official Promotion Video)

It became a long-running hit as the theme song for the drama “Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World,” reaching No.

2 on the Oricon charts for three consecutive weeks and No.

6 for the year! It’s a ballad that portrays a heartrending romance, structured so that it starts quietly and the emotions explode in the chorus.

The tempo is slow, so the pitch bar is easy to follow and it’s easier to stay on pitch, making it feel singable even for beginners.

If you take solid breaths for each phrase and project your voice toward the mic, your expressiveness will score extra points too! For the start of the pre-chorus, come in with a firm voice, and in the chorus, don’t hesitate—letting your voice out boldly feels good and hits just the right spot.

A signature song by Kou Shibasaki that delicately portrays a heartrending love.

Used as both an insert song and the theme song for the film “Yomigaeri,” it generated major buzz upon its release in January 2003.

It debuted at No.

14 on the Oricon Singles Chart and later reached No.

1, becoming a huge hit with sales of around 830,000 copies.

Over a quiet, gentle melody, Shibasaki’s soft vocals mourn a lost love, resonating deeply with listeners.

The lyrics compellingly express the bittersweet feelings of a woman in love.

Kou Shibasaki – Love’s First Journey

Ko Shibasaki has been highly active not only as an actress but also as an artist.

Many women in their 30s may have admired her as an icon.

Among her songs, one I especially recommend for aiming at a high score is Hito Koi Meguri.

While it has a distinctive melody, the pitch doesn’t fluctuate drastically, making it surprisingly smooth and easy to sing.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, so it doesn’t depend heavily on the singer’s voice type—another factor that makes it a strong choice for high scores.

Calender

When it comes to year-end karaoke, the real joy isn’t just singing—it’s getting together with friends and coworkers to excitedly look back on your memories.

That’s why I highly recommend singing Ko Shibasaki’s “Calendar.” As the title suggests, it’s a song crafted to reminisce from January through December.

While no one’s year will match the lyrics exactly, you’ll surely find moments that resonate with you.

You can also have fun by tweaking the lyrics to fit your friends’ experiences.

It’s a rock-style song by Kou Shibasaki.

The lyrics leave an impression of really loving the other person, and the melody is cool—it’s a really great song.

It suits Shibasaki’s voice, and I think it would definitely hype up the room if you sang it at karaoke.

Give it a try!

It was used as the theme song for the movie “Yomigaeri,” starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi.

The singer is Kou Shibasaki, but she performs under the name RUI.

The song expresses feelings for someone who has passed away and can no longer be met.

Watching the movie brings out a different set of emotions when you listen to it.
