Atonement – Teresa Teng (Full)

Depicting a heartrending farewell between a man and a woman, this piece can be considered Teresa Teng’s re-debut song in Japan.

Released in January 1984, it became a massive hit, selling over 1.5 million copies.

Set in a room where the western sun streams through the window, it conveys a woman’s loneliness as she reminisces about a past love, along with a faint wish for the one she’s parting from.

Its simple, singable melody gains even greater depth when performed with emotion.

Whether at a gathering with friends or during a solo relaxation moment, it’s a superb choice.

Why not add it to your repertoire for your next karaoke session?

Winter RivieraMori Shinichi65rank/position

Fuyu no Riviera by Shinichi Mori is a classic winter song that represents the Showa era.

Released in 1982, it remains popular and has been covered by many artists, including Kanjani Eight and Keizo Nakanishi.

The lyrics depict a breakup between a man and a woman, with the man who leaves first trying to keep up appearances and act cool to the very end.

For those in their 60s, this song came out right as they were transitioning from youth to adulthood.

Some may recall parting ways with someone important at a major turning point in life back then.

As you think of that person, try singing it coolly—just like Mori-san!

The rock band Kai Band gained popularity with their catchy lyrics, thematic depth, and wide musical range.

They’ve produced many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is Uragiri no Machikado (Street Corner of Betrayal).

Among Kai Band’s tracks, this song has one of the narrowest vocal ranges.

Because of that, it’s very easy to sing even for people in their 60s who may struggle to hit higher notes.

At after-parties and karaoke, your throat can take a beating, so if you want something easier to sing, definitely give this one a try.

Winter JourneyMori Shinichi67rank/position

Following “Winter Riviera,” the next winter song by Shinichi Mori would have to be “Fuyu no Tabi.” The melody requires quite a bit of vocal skill, but if you can pull it off at a party or karaoke, it’s sure to be a hit.

For men in their 60s, it’s a spot-on nostalgic favorite.

Falling in Love feat. Akiko Kobayashi (Cover by GILLE)

This is the theme song of the third installment of the TBS drama series “Friday Wives,” titled “Friday Wives III: Falling in Love,” which aired in 1985.

The theme songs for the previous two installments were both Western songs, but this was the first time a Japanese song was used.

Alongside the ‘Friday Wives’ boom, this song also became a major hit.

The key is to smoothly and naturally sing the English lyrics that appear partway through—this is where you can really show your skill!

Jiro Atsumi’s biggest hit is “Yumeoi-zake” (Dream-Chasing Sake).

There’s a well-known story that it became a hit after Atsumi, who had struggled to produce a breakout song, actively promoted it to various radio stations.

The song’s structure makes it a very singable enka number, so it’s a great choice for karaoke.

I love you, I love you, I love you.Za Kānabītsu70rank/position

The original song is “I Love You” by the British rock band The Zombies.

The version covered by The Carnabeats was released in June 1967 and became a hit, selling over 1.2 million copies.

It was later covered by Ayako Kobayashi and Mi-Ke as well.
