Introducing songs that start with 'Ta' from popular J-POP! (351–360)
Fun MathSanshi Shōjo
Sansū Girl is a four-piece co-ed rock band.
The band name is read as “Sansū Girl.” While rooted in rock, they’ve gained popularity for a broad musicality that transcends genre.
Among their songs, a particularly strong recommendation is Tanoshii Sansū.
It features a Chinese-pop-like finish, with a consistently comical and cute vibe throughout.
Despite its bright tone, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and there aren’t any notably high parts.
The tempo is a bit fast, so as long as you keep a solid sense of rhythm while singing, anyone can aim for a high score.
Traveling Asiasekai denryoku
This rhythmic track evokes a sense of Asian ambience.
Composed by World Power and released in October 2023, its lyrics—rich with imagery of walking through foreign lands and a positive message—invite listeners on a journey.
The sound feels modern yet nostalgic, and together with the visuals it offers a multisensory experience.
When creating a rendition, cherish the melody line while crafting the overall world of the song.
It’s also well-suited for an acoustic cover.
I just feel like crying.Nagayama Miho
A signature song by Miho Nakayama, who was active from the Showa into the Heisei era, delicately portrays the poignant feelings of a woman in love.
As her friends marry one after another, the protagonist’s anxieties about her own romance and future are woven into a beautiful melody.
Released in February 1994, the track was used as the theme song for a drama starring Nakayama and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It sold a total of 1.048 million copies, becoming a million seller.
It’s a song that offers comfort to those standing at a crossroads in love or life.
It’s great for karaoke, and also recommended for listening together with someone special.

tobacco; cigarette; smokingNakamura Ataru
A signature song by Ataru Nakamura that delicately depicts a sense of poignancy and transience through the image of cigarette smoke rising.
Released in May 2011, the track is also included on the album “Tomodachi no Uta,” and has left a deep impression on many listeners.
The moments of recalling past lovers or cherished people through the act of smoking alone at night are expressed strikingly, resonating deeply with the heart.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those feeling the pain of heartbreak or loneliness, or to anyone who has experienced parting from someone dear.
Nakamura’s clear, transparent vocals further enhance the world of this piece.
TANGO NOIRNakamori Akina
Among women in their 50s—especially those in their late 50s—many may have admired Akina Nakamori.
With her sultry low voice and captivating performances, she was so stunning that even women couldn’t help but be enthralled.
Of her songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “TANGO NOIR.” Since it’s composed in a lower range, there’s no strain from belting high notes.
If you’re a woman in your 50s with a low voice, definitely give it a try.
TATOONakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s 21st single in total, released in May 1988.
Over a slightly jazzy arrangement and an eye-catching bass line, Nakamori’s vocals—richly resonant in the low to mid range—really shine.
With songs like this, especially in parts like the A-melody, many people tend to mumble, but try to sing it coolly so the lyrics are clearly intelligible.
I think mastering chest voice is essential for this track, and it’s one I’d definitely encourage women confident in their lower register to take on.
EVE to the TERMINALNakamori Akina
One of the tracks included in Akina Nakamori’s four-disc CD box set “AKINA,” which features a carefully selected collection from a vast body of work.
The song “TERMINAL made no EVE” originally appeared on a concept album produced by Shizuka Ijūin, and once you know that, it sounds like a scene lifted from a larger story.
Its slightly heartrending lyrics are also noteworthy: “an unstable Christmas that foreshadows a breakup, yet the woman still can’t let go…” When sung by Nakamori, the poignancy is all the more profound.
It may not be widely known outside of her fan base, but it’s a Christmas masterpiece.
