A classic by H2O that stirs sweet, bittersweet memories, like flipping through an album filled with youthful moments.

The innocent smiles captured in photos, the glimmering memories like sun-dappled light, and a beautiful melody line that gently embraces the dreamy, Cinderella-like feelings of girlhood make this a memorable song.

Since then, it has been covered by numerous artists and cherished in school music textbooks and as a choral piece.

It’s a song that quietly speaks to the importance of looking back on memories while accepting your own growth.

Don’t Talk About Life — Takuro Yoshida
Speak not of lifeyoshida takurou

Takuro Yoshida is a pioneering Japanese singer-songwriter who has garnered strong support from many fans.

For people in their 60s, he’s a spot-on artist, and I think everyone has heard his songs at least once.

Among the many classic tracks he’s created, the one I especially recommend is “Jinsei o Katarazu” (“Without Speaking of Life”).

It has a rock flavor, but the vocal range is quite narrow, making it very easy to sing.

It’s a song that actually sounds better if you deliberately put some power into your voice, so give it a try.

Invited to FlamencoGō Hiromi

It’s a perfect, high-energy number for the first song at karaoke.

Released in 1975 as his 13th single, “Yosowarete Flamenco” (“Enticed to Flamenco”) paints a picture of a searing summer romance—just reading the lyrics can make your chest feel hot.

The vocal range is narrow, but as the upbeat feel suggests, the melody line is fast-paced.

Try to focus on keeping up solidly with the sound.

And aim to sing it with a sweet, suave vibe like Gō-san.

This hit song by ZARD, emblematic of the 1990s, is an uplifting anthem marked by Izumi Sakai’s gentle vocals and positive message.
