Love is overŌyō Nira Nira

Ouyang Feifei “Love Is Over”

Since many artists have covered this song, I think it’s one that a lot of people find easy to sing.

It’s a very heart-wrenching love song, and I’m sure it brings back memories from that time for many listeners.

Please try singing it while reminiscing about your younger days.

IstanbulShōno Mayoyo

Flying to Istanbul

Mayoyo Shono’s biggest hit, “Tonde Istanbul.” It’s a piece marked by its airy, floating vocal quality.

The real charm lies in the high-pitched phrases of the chorus.

You might find this part difficult, but the falsetto there is actually in the lower range, so if you’re aiming for a high karaoke score, it’s best to adjust the key so you can sing it comfortably in a mixed voice.

Be careful not to lower the key too much, or the falsetto at the end of the chorus will become harder to reach.

The vocal line itself is very simple, so if you’re aiming for a high score, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

ambushIshikawa Hitomi

Hitomi Ishikawa ♪ Ambush ♪ Ishikawa Hitomi

This is a classic that lets you bask in the sweet-and-sour memories of young love.

Released in April 1981, the song is one of Hitomi Ishikawa’s signature tracks and has been loved by many.

Although it depicts behavior that might be seen as stalker-like, at the time it was received as the portrait of an earnest, proactive young woman.

Its timelessly beautiful melody and Ishikawa’s expressive vocals are especially appealing.

This piece led to her first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen and is a memorable song that colored the youth of many women now in their 60s.

It’s also perfect for livening up a karaoke session with friends.

Why not sing it joyfully while indulging in a bit of nostalgia?

Dream GuideYamaguchi Momoe

Momoe Yamaguchi - Dream Guide

Momoe Yamaguchi has left us with many classic songs, but when it comes to the track that most embodies the Showa era, many people probably picture Yumesaki Annainin.

Wrapped in a nostalgic Showa-kayo melody, this piece—characteristic of its time—uses a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 E to hi A#.

Because this range is also common in male-vocal songs, even women in their 60s, whose voices may be harder to project with age, should be able to sing it without issue.

The lyrics flow smoothly, the tempo is relaxed, and the pitch movement is gentle, making it an ideal choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.

Message of RougeMatsutōya Yumi

Yumi Matsutoya – Rouge no Dengon (Yumi Matsutoya Concert Tour The Universe Library 2016-2017)

Rouge no Dengon, a famous song by Yumi Arai released in 1975, is a work that embodies the cheerful vibe of 1970s Japanese pop music, maintaining a bright and gentle tone throughout.

The vocal range is typical of Japanese pop, with a lowest note of mid1 G and a highest note of hi C.

Since the hi C appears twice in the chorus, if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key with this section in mind.

It’s a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
