Naomi Chiaki’s lustrous voice and delicate expressiveness beautifully paint a scene of a summer night sky.
Released by Victor Entertainment in December 1992, the song was used in a Yanase “Audi” commercial and later, in 2006, in a Kirin Beverage commercial.

This is a song that powerfully moves listeners’ hearts, with young Akiko Wada passionately singing of the deep sorrow of heartbreak amid pouring rain.
The track candidly conveys a woman’s earnest feelings as she cries out her undying love—one she cannot sever—even while carrying the pain of parting from the one she loves.
Its dramatic development and powerful vocals are sure to evoke deep empathy in listeners.
Released in April 1969 as Akiko Wada’s second single, it reached No.
19 on the Oricon chart.
It’s a timeless classic that has been passed down across generations, notably covered by Sambomaster on their 2018 album “Akko ga Omakase.” Though a kayōkyoku number, it brims with the strong rhythms of R&B and soul, making it irresistible for fans of those genres.
It’s also a wonderful choice to try at karaoke when you want to sing with emotion or sink into a bittersweet mood.

Inspired by the mysterious phenomenon in Jindo, Korea—where the sea parts and a path appears—this masterpiece movingly conveys the earnest longing to reunite with a loved one far away.
No matter the hardship, the feelings for a beloved never cease, and the strong prayer that one day they will meet again deeply resonates with listeners.
Released as a single in February 1996, it became YOSHIMI TENDO’s first million seller.
It won the Best Vocal Performance at the 38th Japan Record Awards that same year and was performed at the 48th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen in 1997, becoming a song cherished across generations.
Sung with heartfelt emotion at karaoke, it’s sure to spread warmth and inspiration to those who listen.
Scat at DawnYuki Saori
It’s a quintessential masterpiece of the Showa era, with Saori Yuki’s voice—often called a “sobering tonic”—resonating deeply in the heart.
The beautiful humming at the beginning delicately evokes the stillness before dawn and a faint hope for the new day.
Rofu Yamagami’s richly poetic worldview also sinks deeply into the listener’s soul.
This piece marked Saori Yuki’s fresh new start in March 1969 and was loved as the theme for TBS Radio’s late-night program “Night Ballad.” Its status as a million seller with over 1.5 million copies conveys the fervor of the time.
It’s the perfect song for when you want to relax into music or spend a gentle moment reminiscing about the past.
In conversations with people of the same generation, this beautiful melody is sure to bring a warm, easygoing atmosphere.
Tangled HairMisora Hibari
This is a gem of a song released in December 1987 as the first work marking the phoenix-like comeback of Hibari Misora, a defining figure of the Showa-era pop scene, after a long period of recuperation.
Against the backdrop of waves surging and receding, the helpless feelings of a woman who does nothing but pray for the happiness of the lover who left her tighten the listener’s chest.
The image of her heart growing ever more emaciated as the seasons turn—so much so that the obi that was double-wrapped in spring becomes triple-wrapped in autumn and still has slack—is truly a breathtaking display of expressive power.
It is said this piece was recorded in one vigorous sweep together with an orchestra, and you can feel Misora’s extraordinary intensity in her vocals.
When you tackle this classic at karaoke, try to sing with a picture in your heart of the heroine’s deep sorrow and her earnest determination to face forward nonetheless.
It will surely resonate deeply with those who listen.
