Dolphin [Iruka] / Nagori-yuki [Lingering Snow] (Single Version) Official Audio with translation
“Nagori Yuki” is easy to sing in the original key even for men.
It’s a gentle, tender song, so instead of belting the high notes, try using falsetto to convey a sense of poignancy.
Since it doesn’t require intricate techniques, it’s also a good choice for people who aren’t confident singers to try in a natural, relaxed style.
When you sing, keep your throat generally open and let the voice come out comfortably.
Before singing, lift your facial muscles and eyebrows, then send your voice gently forward.
Doing this lets not only your voice but also your breath flow out together, helping you produce a very pleasing singing tone.
Chiharu Matsuyama’s song “Nagai Yoru” (A Long Night) is loved by many fans for its deep emotional expression and poetic lyrics.
Released in 1981, it is one of his signature works.
Known as a major hit that marked a dramatic shift from his previous folk style to a rock-influenced sound, the song passionately conveys the turmoil of love.
It has sold over 860,000 copies in total and is perfect for livening up gatherings with friends or workplace socials.
This is a single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.
The original version was released in December 1975, but the one I’m introducing here is the self-cover version released in December 1993.
The song has been used in many TV show theme songs and commercials, and has been covered by numerous other artists, so many of you have likely heard it before.
As you’d expect from such a well-known track, both the melody and the lyrics are very memorable, and it’s the kind of song you can enjoy singing casually, almost like humming along.
Even in the gentler passages, try to sing with solid projection so that your voice retains its core.

Momoe Yamaguchi - Good Day to Set Out on a Journey
For people in their 60s, the most popular idol is probably Momoe Yamaguchi.
She left behind many classic songs, and “Ii Hi Tabidachi” is especially recommended as a catchy piece that anyone can sing.
While it’s not an upbeat track, the vocal range sits at mid1F to hiC, which is comfortable for female vocals, so most people can sing it in the original key.
The melody doesn’t have extreme pitch changes either, so try singing it together with your karaoke friends.
