I’ve always liked you.Saitō Kazuyoshi
A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.
The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and a voice that resonates in the heart quietly convey unfulfilled feelings and a love that passed by.
Kazuyoshi Saito’s tender vocals and guitar beautifully express nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.
Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme song for Shiseido’s IN&ON series commercials.
Since February 2017, it has also been used in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to comfort many listeners.
It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or during long-awaited get-togethers, wrapped in fond memories.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and its universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.
White LoversKuwata Keisuke
A gem of a ballad, richly expressing the bittersweet feelings of winter love, has been delivered by Keisuke Kuwata.
It’s a moving piece that looks back on warm memories of love, as if wrapped in snow, with a sense of blessing.
Rather than lamenting a past romance as a mere failure, it impressively celebrates the moments of that love from the heart.
Accompanied by a beautiful, resonant melody, it conveys a gentle warmth within the chill of winter.
Released in October 2001, the song was featured in a Coca-Cola commercial and sold 520,000 copies on the Oricon weekly chart.
It’s a perfect choice for winter karaoke with family and close friends when you want to share heartwarming memories.
Enoshima EscarASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
A track from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s album “Surf Bungaku Kamakura (Complete Edition),” which was released in July 2023.
It has a very singable rhythm and tempo, the vocal melody doesn’t cover a very wide range, and the melody itself is very simple with almost no gimmicks, so I think it’s extremely easy for anyone to sing.
While faithfully and accurately tracing the original rhythm and melody, the trick to making it sound good is not to try too hard to sing well—just sing it plainly and naturally!
In the Morning of DeterminationAqua Timez
Released in July 2006 as Aqua Timez’s debut single.
Although it was the band’s first major-label single, it was selected as the theme song for the animated film “Brave Story,” and later in 2011 it was also used as the special commercial song for Sapporo Beer’s “New Year Sports Special: Hakone Ekiden,” specifically for the “Everyone’s Hakone Ekiden Story” campaign.
It’s a beautiful, slow-tempo track with striking string arrangements throughout.
The vocal melody is very straightforward and gentle, making it easy for anyone to hum along.
The rhythmic phrasing of the melody in the A section is a bit tricky, so if possible, please practice that part in advance before singing.
I wonderDa-iCE
This is a gem of a message song by Da-iCE that portrays youthful love and the confusion of self-discovery on a grand scale.
Delicate vocals blend with a powerful dance beat, unfolding like a whirlwind of multicolored emotions.
Featured as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Kururi: Who Did I Fall in Love With?”, this work shines with Da-iCE’s appeal and gently resonates not only with those troubled by love, but also with anyone who feels they’re losing sight of themselves.
It’s not easy to sing lightly and effortlessly, but give it a try.
You’re sure to create a wonderful atmosphere at karaoke.
Growing to like you, growing to love youKinKi Kids
A message song that joyfully celebrates human connections and resonates with the heart.
Released in 2000 as their ninth single, “Suki ni Natteku Aishiteku” was written specifically as the theme song for the variety show “LOVE LOVE Aishiteru.” The lyrics were penned by Tsuyoshi, and the music was composed by Koichi.
The warm band sound gently seeps deep into your chest.
The melody sits quite low in range, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably without strain.
REACHING FOR THE SKYMAN WITH A MISSION
MAN WITH A MISSION is a rock band that continues to draw popularity with their sharp, punchy sound.
They’re a mid-career band, but since they’re still active on the front lines, I think many teenage boys are familiar with them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is REACHING FOR THE SKY.
Despite its exhilarating melody, the piece actually has a surprisingly narrow vocal range, and aside from the sustained long note at the end of the chorus, there aren’t even any mid-to-high notes.
The vocal line also works fine even if sung a bit rough, making it an ideal choice for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.
