Shizuka Kudo / Blown by Yellow Sand [Official Video]

A karaoke version by Miyuki Nakajima, who wrote the lyrics, is also available, but here we are introducing the 1989 Kudo version.

Compared to the Nakajima version, it has a slightly faster tempo and a crisp, decisive feel.

Fall in LoveKobayashi Akiko

Falling in Love feat. Akiko Kobayashi (Cover by GILLE)

This is the theme song of the third installment of the TBS drama series “Friday Wives,” titled “Friday Wives III: Falling in Love,” which aired in 1985.

The theme songs for the previous two installments were both Western songs, but this was the first time a Japanese song was used.

Alongside the ‘Friday Wives’ boom, this song also became a major hit.

The key is to smoothly and naturally sing the English lyrics that appear partway through—this is where you can really show your skill!

Atonement – Teresa Teng (Full)

Depicting a heartrending farewell between a man and a woman, this piece can be considered Teresa Teng’s re-debut song in Japan.

Released in January 1984, it became a massive hit, selling over 1.5 million copies.

Set in a room where the western sun streams through the window, it conveys a woman’s loneliness as she reminisces about a past love, along with a faint wish for the one she’s parting from.

Its simple, singable melody gains even greater depth when performed with emotion.

Whether at a gathering with friends or during a solo relaxation moment, it’s a superb choice.

Why not add it to your repertoire for your next karaoke session?

Sentimental JourneyMatsumoto Iyo

Sentimental Journey

Matsumoto Iyo, who is currently active as a TV personality, enjoyed tremendous popularity during her idol days.

Many people probably have a strong impression of her song “Sentimental Journey,” right? In fact, this piece is more geared toward men, boasting a fairly low and wide vocal range of mid1 A to hi A#.

However, for women in their 60s, the lower notes are easier to produce, so those who naturally have higher voices will likely find it quite easy to sing.

From The Tragedy of Woman WYakushimaru Hiroko

Hiroko Yakushimaru – Woman (from “W’s Tragedy”) [from ‘Premium Acoustic Night: Toki no Tobira ~Look For A Star~’]

This is the theme song of the 1984 film “W’s Tragedy,” performed by Hiroko Yakushimaru, who also starred in the movie.

The song makes full use of Yakushimaru’s distinctive, beautiful high notes.

In the chorus, it’s best to sing freely and expansively without constricting the throat.

Note that the composer Kureta Keiko is a pen name of Yumi Matsutoya, which she sometimes uses when providing songs to other artists.
