Farewell, my loverSakai Masaaki
This was the solo debut single released in 1971 by Masakazu Sakai, who was active in the popular Group Sounds band The Spiders.
At the time, Rumiko Koyanagi’s big hit “Watashi no Jokamachi” was dominating the charts, so this single ended up being overshadowed.
Still, it’s a timeless, deeply moving masterpiece that would make a memorable choice to sing at karaoke.
Also, choosing a song that everyone commonly knows is a great way to win over the crowd.
Ruby RingTerao Akira
Mr.
Akira Terao, who has left behind numerous masterpieces as a renowned actor.
For those in their 60s, his image as a singer may be even stronger than his image as an actor.
Many were likely surprised that he wasn’t just a one-hit wonder, but kept releasing hits with an unwavering, cool musical style.
Ruby no Yubiwa is his biggest hit.
While the lowest note drops to a very low low G, there are solid moments of lift within its cool, understated mood—such as a key change toward the end.
Despite the modulation, the piece has a narrow vocal range, so you might even try raising the key on purpose and experimenting with a more powerful delivery different from the original.
Your eyes are 10,000 voltsHoriuchi Takao
This song is Takao Horiuchi’s first solo single, and since it was used in a cosmetics company’s autumn 1978 campaign commercial, many people may already be familiar with it.
Originally, the request came to Alice, but because Shinji Tanimura was unable to sing at the time due to illness, Tanimura wrote the lyrics, Horiuchi composed the music, and it became Horiuchi’s solo single.
It’s the kind of song that would really get everyone going at karaoke, especially when everyone sings the chorus together.
Wine Red Heartanzenchitai
It’s a thrilling and dramatic rock kayō song.
The number exudes the allure of a mature man.
How about performing it at karaoke when you want to woo a woman? With lyrics penned by Yosui Inoue, the Japanese wording is remarkably striking.
First loveMurashita Kōzō
Many of you probably remember it by the striking cover featuring a paper-cut girl.
It’s a classic by singer-songwriter Kozo Murashita, who produced numerous hits but passed away at the young age of 49.
The pure lyrics that evoke such a strong sense of nostalgia are truly wonderful, aren’t they? It’s a lovely song that lets everyone recall those unforgettable feelings from our youth and sing along in a light, pop style.
Do whatever the hell you want.sawada kenji
This 1977 release by Kenji Sawada featured a flashy, dramatic intro and a striking performance where he throws his hat mid-song.
As one of Sawada’s signature tracks, it leaves a strong impression at karaoke and always gets the crowd going, regardless of how well you sing.
Momoe Yamaguchi’s “Playback Part 2,” released the following year, is often said to be an answer song to this track.
