Takao KisugiKisugi Takao8rank/position
Some of you may have experienced parting ways with someone important in order to pursue your own dreams and goals.
A karaoke song recommended for people in their 60s who’ve had such experiences is Takao Kisugi’s “Yume no Tochuu” (In the Midst of a Dream), released in 1981.
This song is essentially the same—melody and lyrics—as Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun,” which came out shortly after, differing only in title.
Many listeners are likely to be reminded of the film when they hear it.
The song portrays the bittersweet feelings of a man who, despite parting for the sake of his future, still can’t let go.
Recall the days when you kept running toward your dreams, and give it a sing.

It showcases Akina Nakamori’s vocal prowess to the fullest, was released in November 1984, and topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Written and composed by Yosui Inoue, it marks a pivotal track in Nakamori’s transition from idol to artist.
With its rich emotional expression and lyrical depth, it resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced a farewell to someone dear.
It’s also karaoke-friendly with its relaxed tempo, allowing for expressive, heartfelt singing.
Try it when you’re gathered with friends reminiscing about the past or on a night when you want to sink into your memories.

Mary AnnTHE ALFEE11rank/position
A song that sings of youthful passion, the joy of love, and love that has been lost.
Released in September 1983, this track is known as one of THE ALFEE’s signature works.
Alongside its powerful rock sound, the emotional depth of the lyrics is striking.
It has been performed frequently at concerts and on television, and has been loved for many years.
It’s a great choice when you want to liven things up at company parties or karaoke.

Boy in the back alleyHamada Shogo12rank/position
This song, which is also Shogo Hamada’s debut single, was released in 1976.
It’s a coming-of-age song that sings about his memories from ages 16 to 22 spent in Yokohama, and just the intro alone is enough to fire up Hamada’s fans.
Reissued singles were released in 1989 and 2005.
When singing it at karaoke, it’s really cool if you can nail the part where the chorus jumps up an octave.
It should be a lot of fun if everyone claps along and gets into it together.

The melody doesn’t have extreme pitch changes either, so try singing it together with your karaoke friends.
