Goodbye, TearsSuzuki Masayuki

Masayuki Suzuki released a full cover album titled “DISCOVER JAPAN III.” It features many classic songs, but the easiest to sing among them is “Namida-kun Sayonara.” The song was originally released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1965.

While the original gives a gentle, tender impression, the cover version is performed with a powerful, R&B-like vocal style.

That said, it preserves the charm of the original.

Try listening to the original and the cover side by side to note the differences and practice.

Let me introduce the dreamy love ballad “My Wish.” This is Masayuki Suzuki’s eighth single, known for being written and composed by Kazumasa Oda.

The melody is gentle and soothing, infused with Oda’s signature essence, while the lyrics deliver a passionate expression of love from a male perspective.

Its mood differs from his other songs, making it a good choice to refresh the set when singing consecutively.

Also, with many spots to use vibrato, it might help you score high at karaoke.

MIDNIGHT TRAVELERSuzuki Masayuki

With its effortlessly cool vibe, “MIDNIGHT TRAVELER” is another highly recommended track.

It’s included on their sixth album, “Perfume,” and was also released as a single due to its popularity.

Its standout feature is the laid-back vocal delivery set against a city pop-like sound.

By deliberately avoiding excessive force, it conveys a mature sense of ease.

Of course, dynamics are still necessary, but even those who aren’t confident in their vocal power should find it approachable.

Let me introduce Kuchizuke, which captures a romantic moment.

It’s a track included on the album CARNIVAL.

The lyrics delicately portray the inner feelings of a man and a woman sharing a kiss.

Singing it will give you a satisfying feeling, as if you’ve just enjoyed a novel or a movie.

Another charm is the thrill of listening while wondering what will happen between the two.

By the way, each note is articulated clearly, which makes it easier to stay on pitch and sing.

When it comes to Masayuki Suzuki’s most rock-flavored songs, wouldn’t “Jun’ai” be the one? This track was written, composed, and even performed by singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito.

While Masayuki Suzuki often handles songs with a calm, refined feel, this piece turns into a satisfying rock tune with buoyant guitars.

Another highlight is the passionate vocal delivery to match.

Pay attention to your pronunciation and try singing it with a wilder edge than his other songs.

Lipstick on a T-shirtSuzuki Masayuki

When you have a big crowd, many people probably prefer to include well-known songs.

With that in mind, let me introduce the classic “T-Shirt ni Kuchibeni.” It was released as Rats & Star’s second single, and Masayuki Suzuki later covered it as a solo artist.

It’s a bittersweet love ballad, but the choral backing keeps it from getting too melancholy.

It’s also great for livening up the mood when you want to energize the room! The key is on the lower side, so even those who struggle with high notes should be fine.

If you’re looking for a song that heals and encourages listeners, “Even If the World Turns Its Back on You” is perfect.

Written by singer-songwriter Masayoshi Oishi, it’s also known as the theme song for the drama Resident Detective Season 2.

The lyrics depict someone conveying that even if not everyone in the world is on your side, I am.

Because the message is what matters most in this song, I hope you’ll sing it with feeling rather than focusing on technique.
