White is the color of lovers.Bettsi & Kurisu
A folk song whose appeal lies in its heartfelt, pure harmonies.
Beginning with an acoustic guitar intro, its gentle melody tells a love story painted through the colors of nature—flowers, the sky, and sunsets—leaving a lingering resonance.
The clear harmonies woven by Betsy & Chris’s pristine voices evoke a nostalgic feeling that makes anyone want to hum along.
Released by Nippon Columbia in October 1969, the single became a major hit, ranking 11th on the 1970 Oricon year-end chart.
It has been covered by various artists, and in 2001 it was featured as an insert song in the film Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back, bringing it renewed attention.
SisterPorunogurafiti
This is an emotionally rich, Latin-flavored number that begins with the image of offering flowers to the whitecaps and going out to meet the morning.
From the intro to the outro, a tense snare drum persists, while the weighty sound of six acoustic guitars brilliantly conveys both the sorrow of loss and a longing for renewal.
Released by Porno Graffitti in September 2004, the piece embodies the resolve and determination of the duo after a member’s departure.
It’s a song I especially recommend to those who can relate to the strength of remembering someone precious who was lost, yet choosing to keep looking forward and live on.
Schrödinger SugarYamagishi Koji
A scientific yet pop love song that overlays the ambiguity of romance with a quantum mechanics thought experiment! It’s a track by Koji Yamagishi, released in June 2024.
The song’s charm lies in its bright, sparkling tone infused with the essence of funk music.
The lyrics are sprinkled with metaphors of love, and the more you listen, the more it puts you in a romantic mood! I think it will especially resonate with teenagers!
Shianbashi BluesNakai Akira / Takahashi Masaru to Kororatīno
This is the debut single released in April 1968 by Akira Nakai—who performed as part of the house band at the Nagasaki cabaret “Jūnibankan”—and Katsu Takahashi & Coloratino.
Its appeal lies in a wistful melody that fuses Latin music with mood kayō (showa-era pop ballads).
Set in Showa-era Nagasaki, the song vividly portrays adult romance and nocturnal cityscapes, and has been covered by numerous artists including Sachiko Nishida, Kaori Kozai, and Hachirō Kasuga.
In karaoke snack bars, it remains a highly popular classic, known as a sophisticated duet for men and women to sing in call-and-response.
I want to be happy.Uchida Yuki
Yuki Uchida has been active as an actress for many years.
Younger people might not know this, but for many women in their 40s, she also leaves a strong impression as a musical artist.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Shiawase ni Naritai” (“I Want to Be Happy”).
While the melody has some noticeable rises and falls, the overall tempo is relaxed, so you should be able to follow the pitch without trouble.
The vocal range is also narrow, making it a good choice to sing even when your voice is starting to tire at a second party.
Be sure to check it out.
Truth, this path is far (and long).Ōe Yutaka
Even if a song is easy to sing, I think many people still want to perform pieces with real highlight moments.
For those folks, I recommend “Shinjitsu Kono Michi Harukanari.” Characterized by a masculine vocal style, this piece reaches peak voltage in the chorus.
Although the chorus sounds extremely powerful, it actually doesn’t use kobushi with more than three pitch changes.
In other words, it’s “easy to sing yet incredibly impactful.” That said, the A and B sections do require somewhat delicate kobushi turns, so basic enka skills are necessary.
