Even men who always act cool sometimes feel like letting loose and forgetting everything.

“Sake, Tears, Men and Women,” which captures those feelings, was Eigo Kawashima’s solo debut single released in 1976.

Originally, it was included on the debut album Jinrui (Humanity), released in 1975 by the group Eigo Kawashima & Homo Sapiens, to which Kawashima belonged.

Men in their sixties who have tasted both the bitter and the sweet of life may also have things they’d rather forget, just like in this song.

At times like that, sing this tune and let it all out!

Here is GARO’s third single, released in 1972.

It was composed by Koichi Sugiyama, who is famous for creating the music for the very popular video game series Dragon Quest.

The sound of the cor anglais—an instrument similar to the oboe—played during the instrumental interlude is also memorable.

Many of you may have listened to this often in your younger days.

If you sing a song like this, one that brings back memories of your youth, at karaoke, won’t it make you feel as if you’ve returned to your student days?

“Soto wa Shiroi Yuki no Yoru” (“A Night of White Snow Outside”) was released in 1978 and composed by Takuro Yoshida and Takashi Matsumoto.

The arrangement is sparse, which brings the vocals to the forefront.

It’s a song you can sing even if high notes aren’t your strength, so it’s a great choice to practice for karaoke.

The melody is wonderfully moving without being overly somber.

“In the Midst of the Seasons” is one of Chiharu Matsuyama’s signature songs.

It’s the track that solidified his popularity.

The beginning carries a melody reminiscent of folk music, but once it hits the chorus, it suddenly shifts to New Music—a fascinating contrast.

Though it’s quite challenging, it would likely be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
