Issei Fubi Sepia “Dear Sir/Madam, From Above the Road” [Official]

This track, distinguished by lively festival-like drums and flutes, weaves in themes that deeply reflect on the meaning of life and personal values through scenes of nature.

While questioning the purpose of living and our reason for being, it delivers a powerful message of courage and hope in the face of hardship.

Released in June 1984 as the debut single of Ikkyo Fubi Sepia, it reached No.

5 on the Oricon charts.

It was also used in commercials for SUZUKI’s scooter “Love THREE” and Kirin Beer’s “Kirin Shochu Tanrei Straight,” gaining popularity across a wide audience.

It’s a song that gives you the strength to face forward and keep walking when you’re at a crossroads in life, feeling lost or anxious.

Again and Again – DREAMS COME TRUE (Full)

DREAMS COME TRUE is a male-female duo from Hokkaido.

Known as “DoriCam,” they have multiple signature songs, so it’s hard to pick just one, but “Nando Demo” is among the most highly regarded by fans.

It was released in 2005.

No matter how many times you fail or fall down, you keep moving forward—the song conveys that strong determination.

REBECCA “Friends” Official Music Video

This song, which depicts the faint romantic feelings of youth, is known as a signature track by REBECCA, a band that epitomized the 1980s.

It was released in October 1985 and was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV drama “Half-Potato na Oretachi.” NOKKO’s powerful vocals and the striking sound leave a lasting impression, making it a song that resonates with many listeners.

The chorus is especially energizing, and singing it at karaoke will help you feel a strong sense of unity with those around you.

It’s a perfect choice for fun times with friends or when you want to blow off some steam.

Why not enjoy a heartwarming karaoke session filled with nostalgia?

If only I had held you tighter

This was WANDS’s third single overall, released in July 1992.

It was used as the theme song for a Mitsui Life Insurance commercial featuring Atsuko Asano.

A massive hit that became WANDS’s first million-seller (1.663 million copies sold), many of you have likely heard it before.

In the 1990s, when this song was released, singability at karaoke was a key factor for a song to become a hit.

True to that trend, this track is crafted to be very easy to sing—especially the chorus melody—and highly memorable.

I confidently recommend it for men in their 40s who don’t usually sing much.

Enjoy singing it with power throughout!

BAKUFU-SLUMP – TaiyakiYaita

Speaking of Bakufu Slump, “Runner” was a huge hit, but they originally started out as a full-on comic band.

They obviously have plenty of funny songs, and this one has lyrics that play like an answer song to Masato Shimon’s “Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun,” which is pretty hilarious.
