A single cut from Journey’s monster album Escape, this is a quintessential rock ballad.

In Japan, it had a revival hit as the theme song for the film Umizaru.

Riding on Jonathan Cain’s beautiful piano melody, it makes you want to spread your arms like you’re flying and sway as you belt it out.

If you work your abs a bit and expand your lower register, this song will definitely get even better.

Top Of The WorldCarpenters7rank/position

The Carpenters’ classic “Top Of The World” is memorable for its light, upbeat melody.

While the Carpenters are known as a pop duo, this song strongly reflects country music characteristics.

A key point of this piece lies in the English.

The vocal line has a narrow range and doesn’t require much dynamic variation, so it’s easy to sing.

However, among the Carpenters’ songs, the BPM here is relatively fast, which can make the English lyrics feel a bit crowded.

If you’re not confident in English, try linking the vowel of the previous word to the consonant of the next—for example, sing “Top of the world” more like “Topov th’ worl(d)”—to help it flow more naturally.

If We Hold On TogetherDiana Ross8rank/position

This heartwarming ballad sung by Diana Ross delivers a message of hope and unity.

Produced in 1988 as the theme song for the film “The Land Before Time,” it powerfully sings of the strength to overcome difficult times.

Its beautiful melody and warm lyrics seem to gently embrace listeners.

The song achieved success on charts around the world, and in Japan in particular it became a major hit, selling over 450,000 copies in 1990.

When life feels exhausting, why not listen to this track for a boost of energy? Diana Ross’s voice is sure to give you courage.

Over The RainbowJudy Garland9rank/position

A pre–World War II musical film, The Wizard of Oz, features this quintessential standard sung by Judy Garland as Dorothy—the greatest of great songs.

Is there anyone who could dislike it? Whenever I hear it, I start to dream and want to sing along.

With bright hope, I make my wishes.

The blue sky of CaliforniaAlbert Hammond10rank/position

No matter where you went, this song was playing on the radio day after day.

The lyrics weren’t exactly cheerful, but listening to it, I could almost see it—the way the Japanese title said, “The sky over California is blue.” Back when a dollar cost 300 yen, California in America felt so far away.

I used to close my eyes and listen, caught in a complicated mix of longing and resignation.
