My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu

This song, also known for being covered by the great American artist Ray Charles, was released by Southern All Stars in 1979.

It’s said that before their marriage, Kuwata wrote it for Yuko Hara as a way of saying “I’m sorry.” It’s such a classic that virtually everyone knows it, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.

summer vacationyoshida takurou

This song portrays someone reminiscing about childhood summer vacation memories and basking in nostalgia.

As one of Takuro Yoshida’s signature works, it has been released in various versions and covered by many artists as a song that sings of the Japanese summer.

The expansive, layered sound evokes the feeling of casting one’s thoughts into the distance, further emphasizing its nostalgic mood.

With relatable lyrics delivered gently over a simple melody, it leaves a strong impression and, with a light touch, should be quite singable.

I look up as I walkSakamoto Kyu

Walk looking up Sakamoto Kyu — with lyrics
I look up as I walkSakamoto Kyu

A song distinguished by its buoyant melody and heartwarming lyrics.

It carries a positive message that encourages you to keep moving forward even in tough times, and it continues to resonate with many people.

Released in 1961, it became a huge hit not only in Japan but also overseas.

In the United States, it became known as “Sukiyaki” and reached No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With a modest range that makes it easy to sing and suitable for a wide variety of voices, it’s also a popular choice for karaoke.

As a timeless classic loved across generations, why not add it to your repertoire? Sing it with your own feelings, carried by Kyu Sakamoto’s warm vocals.

If you’re interested in moody songs, I recommend “Tokyo.” Works like this demand rich expressiveness, yet they tend not to require powerful volume or sustained long notes.

This piece is no exception: it doesn’t call for long tones or big projection.

So even when your voice starts to tire at a second party, you should still be able to sing it comfortably.

Rather than aiming for a pristine delivery, it actually shines more with deliberately husky, slightly blurred pronunciation—give it a try.

Kanda RiverMinami Kōsetsu

Sung by Kōsetsu Minami, this emblematic folk song was released in 1973.

Many people likely spent their student days in a manner similar to the world depicted in this so-called “four-and-a-half-mat Showa folk” song.

It’s a piece to be cherished and sung with a sense of nostalgia for one’s youth.

In addition to karaoke, it’s also a great choice for solo performance with an instrument.
