OathUtada Hikaru
Known as the theme song for Kingdom Hearts III, “Oath” employs a polyrhythmic feel that can be interpreted as either 4/4 or 6/8.
The accent on the third beat may feel unfamiliar to Japanese listeners, but since it isn’t actually in triple meter, you may find it surprisingly easy to keep time once you try singing it.
As for the vocal line, it features many somewhat soulful phrases, which might feel challenging for those not accustomed to soul or R&B.
If that’s the case, instead of aligning perfectly with the beat, try adding your own touch—like deliberately starting a bit late.
Songs with irregular-feeling rhythms lend themselves well to such stylistic adjustments, so even beginner vocalists should find it easier to sing in their own way.
Second proposalMiyasako Hiroyuki
Hiroyuki Miyasako, a former member of the comedy duo Ameagari Kesshitai and now a YouTuber, released an album whose title track is “Second Proposal.” It’s a song in which Miyasako expresses his gratitude to his wife, who has supported him, and it’s crafted as a passionate ballad.
Pay attention to the meaning of the title as you listen—you’ll feel it when it clicks.
By the way, the album features many covers of classic love songs.
The song selection is said to carry a message as well, so enjoy that aspect too.
Song of FarewellKobayashi Akira
Akira Kobayashi’s atypical work “Sekibetsu no Uta.” This piece is a cover song with a few minor arrangements; the original is a Chuo University student song.
Perhaps because it was composed in the early Showa era, it has very little pop influence, and its melody lands somewhere between a military march and enka.
Even so, the song is sung throughout in the low to low-mid range, with no sudden rises or drops in pitch.
While the monotony of the vocal line can make it harder to convey intensity, it’s extremely easy to sing—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
The Bride of SetoKoyanagi Rumiko
Released in April 1972, this work became a memorable classic for many, with its clear, translucent vocals and lyrical lyrics.
It is a song deeply rooted in society, having won awards at the Japan Kayō Awards and being used as a departure melody at JR stations.
Set against the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, it sings of a young woman’s pure love and her hopes for a new beginning.
It is a piece we especially recommend to seniors who may be feeling the parting from a loved one or anticipating a new chapter in life.
Along with nostalgic memories, it will bring a heartwarming moment.
