Silhouette RomanceOhashi Junko
A classic ballad that portrays a mature romance with a hint of jazz.
Its standout feature is, above all, the sigh-like vocal delivery.
The way you ease off the voice and blend in breath defines the song’s atmosphere.
The overall range is F3 to C#5; while the chorus reaches some higher notes, you can generally sing it at a relaxed tempo in a composed manner.
If you sing too strongly from the start, you’ll lose contrast with the chorus, so keep the volume around 60% for the first verse.
In the chorus, you might feel tense, but prepare your voice and project it forward with clarity.
When hitting the high notes, think of climbing stairs step by step—this mindful approach helps you build momentum and reach them more easily!
Adolescence (with an autumnal/reflective nuance)Iwasaki Hiromi
This was the 11th single, released in September 1977, with a well-known episode that 18-year-old Hiromi Iwasaki, fresh out of high school, was moved to tears by the lyrics during the recording.
Written by Yū Aku and composed by Takashi Miki, the song peaked at No.
6 on the Oricon chart and won the Vocal Performance Award at the 19th Japan Record Awards.
Its lyrics, which portray the loss of youth along with an autumnal atmosphere, are carried by a gently lyrical melody, with Iwasaki’s delicate, supple vocals delivering each word with care.
The fact that it has been continually covered by numerous artists—including Akina Nakamori and Hiroji Miyamoto—speaks to its timeless, universal appeal.
It’s a quintessential Showa-era ballad recommended for those who want to savor the bittersweet feelings of graduation and the nostalgia for time slipping away.
Island SongTHE BOOM
When it comes to karaoke repertoire, “Shima Uta” is a must, don’t you think? It incorporates elements of Okinawan music and has a poignant tone with themes of nature, prayer, and parting.
The overall range spans A#2 to A4, leaning wide on the low end, but if you manage your breath well, you can stay on pitch.
The melody is very simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.
When aiming for a high score, be careful not to slip during the section where the tempo speeds up at the end, and nail the finish.
For the low notes, focus on sending your breath forward slowly.
Let your body resonate and go for a top score!
