[For Karaoke!] Recommended Easy-to-Sing Masayuki Suzuki Songs (1–10)

sighSuzuki Masayuki

Masayuki Suzuki’s fifth album, FAIR AFFAIR, features “Sigh” as its fourth track.

It’s a song that portrays a steamy, grown-up romance and the intertwined emotions of love and hate.

The melody blends pop with blues, giving it a sensual feel.

Overall, it’s quite slow-tempo, which makes it easier to incorporate technique and creative arrangements.

Also, be mindful of the striking ending of the song as you practice.

Another recommendation is “Koibito” (“Lover”), which is getting attention again right now.

It was released in 1993 as a lead single from the album “Perfume.” The song had long been loved by many, but after it was performed on THE FIRST TAKE in 2020, it became popular with an even wider range of generations.

The song expresses pure love for a romantic partner.

It’s a classic love ballad, so learning it will likely be useful in many ways.

The whisper-voice sections are especially appealing, so try focusing your practice there!

An essential masterpiece when talking about Masayuki Suzuki is “The Summer That Faded Behind the Glass.” This was his debut single and also the song with which he made his first appearance on the Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

The track is a ballad built on a simple sound.

Its lyrics, filled with longing for a lost lover, are truly heart-wrenching.

If intense songs or high notes aren’t your thing, this is a great one to start with.

And it’s also perfect if you’re looking for a summer song!

FugitiveSuzuki Masayuki

Let me introduce “Tōbōsha” (“Fugitive”), a track that gets everyone excited with its city pop-style sound.

It’s one of the songs on the album “She・See・Sea,” and its stylish sound is a big part of its appeal.

The lyrics are sophisticated as well, using the title phrase to depict two lovers and convey a sense of immorality and guilt.

The tempo is on the faster side, but since there aren’t many high notes, it should be relatively easy to sing.

However, there are English lyrics in the song, so be mindful of that.

Listen carefully and check your pronunciation.

There’s even an anecdote that after it was performed on a TV show, word of mouth spread and it became an explosive hit—that song is “Jusan-ya.” It’s an original piece written by singer Masashi Sada.

The title “Jusan-ya” refers to a Japanese moon-viewing tradition, essentially the Japanese counterpart to the “Jugoya” custom that came from China.

In the song, the bittersweet feelings of two people who can hardly meet are sung about.

The key stays relatively steady, so it should be easy to sing even for karaoke beginners.

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.

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.
