Sorrow like snowHamada Shogo

Sorrow Like Snow (ROAD OUT “MOVIE”)
Sorrow like snowHamada Shogo

This song portrays the warmth of people felt amid winter’s cold, evoking a brightness within poignancy.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni,” and has long been loved as one of Shogo Hamada’s definitive winter classics.

The powerful layering of the band and chorus strongly suggests a hopeful feeling of moving forward.

Its gently ranged melody and relaxed tempo make it easy to sing, so be sure to fully grasp the emotions embedded in the lyrics as you perform.

The Sun Also RisesHamada Shogo

The Sun Also Rises (ON THE ROAD 2011 “The Last Weekend”)

This song evokes a refreshing yet powerful feeling, depicting the natural landscape unfolding before us and the hope to move toward the future.

From the opening, where the vocals soar boldly, a grand image of nature comes to mind, drawing you into the song’s world.

The lyrics’ vivid portrayal of the sun overlaps with the breezy sound, conveying a sense of receiving strength from the power of nature.

It gives the impression of quietly nurturing the hope for the future within oneself, so aiming for a relaxed vocal delivery that reflects this image will help emphasize the song’s atmosphere.

unrequited loveHamada Shogo

Unrequited Love (ON THE ROAD “FILMS”)
unrequited loveHamada Shogo

This song portrays the pain that grows stronger as one’s feelings deepen, even while knowing the love will never be fulfilled.

It was included on the 1978 album “Illumination,” and later released as the B-side to “Ai o Nemurasete.” The lyrics depict regret over having fallen in love and a wish to be rewarded, if only once.

Because the melodic pitch changes very gently, it’s likely an easy song to sing without strain.

Precisely because the range isn’t wide, being mindful of how to convey emotion is essential.

Scorpio womanMikawa Ken’ichi

Kenichi Mikawa “Woman of Scorpio (New Recording)” (Official Audio)
Scorpio womanMikawa Ken'ichi

A signature song by Kenichi Mikawa that portrays the strength and poignancy of a passionate woman who lives for love.

Released in December 1972, this memorable enka number expresses straightforward affection and the sorrow of betrayal.

Mikawa’s powerful vocals blend beautifully with a distinctive worldview inspired by Scorpio, one of the twelve zodiac signs, and the song sold about 97,000 copies on the Oricon charts.

It was performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen for four consecutive years from 2006 to 2009, revealing new charms through various arrangements, including operatic and samba styles.

With its relaxed tempo and gentle melodic contours, it’s also easy to sing—another part of its appeal.

Why not sing it with a sense of nostalgia as a treasured song tied to precious memories?

A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyTanimura Shinji

This is Shinji Tanimura’s 41st single, released in March 2008; he sadly passed away recently (October 2023).

It is a self-cover single of a song he originally provided to Momoe Yamaguchi in 1978.

As of November 2023, many people in their 50s and older will likely remember Yamaguchi’s original version.

It’s a very mellow piece that evokes the feeling of a distant journey under open skies.

The vocal line is easy for anyone to hum along with and enjoy, so I highly recommend selecting it for karaoke even if you’re not confident in your singing.

CoolGō Hiromi

I can’t help but be enchanted by its urban, sophisticated sound.

“Cool” here is the 56th single, released in 1985.

From deep within its calm melodic line, you can feel a tenderness toward a special woman gently seeping through.

It even makes me feel as if it’s being sung just for me.

Since the vocal range is relatively narrow, you should be able to take your time and sing it with ease.

By the way, there’s also a full English version of this song, so it might be fun to give that a try as well.

Because I like youGō Hiromi

Hiromi Go - Because I Love You - Karaoke - Hiromi Go - Part 19
Because I like youGō Hiromi

The pure feelings woven into the lyrics make my chest tighten.

“Suki Dakara,” released in 2017 as their 102nd single, is a cover of a song originally released by Ruriko Kubo in 2000.

It’s a love song where the bright melody pairs perfectly with the straightforward vocals.

The sentiment of “I really love you” comes through directly and just makes you feel happy.

It might be a good one to sing at karaoke as a couple, don’t you think?
