The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi

The breakup scene, overlaid with imagery of rain, along with the portrayal of deep affection, possessiveness, and the acceptance of being unable to make the other person happy, leaves a strong impression.

The beautiful arrangement of piano and strings further highlights the crystalline quality of his vocals.

Released in August 1992, it was later used as the theme song for Hitachi’s “Ashita P-KAN Kibun!” and gradually gained support, ultimately becoming a massive hit with total sales of 900,000 copies.

Parting at 22kaze

With a folk-like, simple chord progression and a conversational melody, this is a song you can sing without straining your voice.

Emotion matters more than technique, and even if you’re not confident at singing, a calm tone unique to men in their 60s can convey plenty of charm, making it a safe choice to try at karaoke.

Also, since few people sing folk songs, performing it in a relaxed, listening-focused way will gently touch listeners’ hearts.

When you sing, don’t belt—deliver it as if you’re speaking to match the song’s mood.

Because a spoken style uses more breath, practicing with humming and lip rolls beforehand will make it easier to produce your voice.
