Some of you may have experienced parting ways with someone important in order to pursue your own dreams and goals.

A karaoke song recommended for people in their 60s who’ve had such experiences is Takao Kisugi’s “Yume no Tochuu” (In the Midst of a Dream), released in 1981.

This song is essentially the same—melody and lyrics—as Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun,” which came out shortly after, differing only in title.

Many listeners are likely to be reminded of the film when they hear it.

The song portrays the bittersweet feelings of a man who, despite parting for the sake of his future, still can’t let go.

Recall the days when you kept running toward your dreams, and give it a sing.

I tell lies with these eyes.CHAGE and ASKA

The music duo CHAGE and ASKA have left behind many great songs.

Among their works, “Boku wa Kono Hitomi de Uso wo Tsuku” is renowned as a masterpiece.

Although its uptempo nature might make it seem challenging, the range spans mid1 F to hi A# and isn’t particularly wide.

Moreover, the average pitch centers around mid2 F, which is a comfortable range for male singers, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
