If you’re in your 30s, you probably heard it in middle or high school—why not add it to your karaoke repertoire?

The single Mr.Children released in August 1995 is “Seesaw Game: A Brave Love Song.” It’s a love song about the push-and-pull with someone you’re attracted to, and one of their early masterpieces.

A third of pure-hearted feelingsSIAM SHADE
Although they disbanded once in 2002, SHIAM SHADE has captivated fans with several temporary reunions.
This signature song of theirs is widely known as the ending theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
Its structure is very straightforward: the chorus comes first, followed by verse A and verse B, building excitement.
The beginning of verse A hits the song’s lowest note, D#3, which might be a bit low even for male singers.
Be careful not to let your voice get muffled in this part.
Another challenging aspect of the song is the rhythm.
In the chorus, if you sing it in a typical 4/4 feel, it won’t lock in with the backing drums and will sound flat.
Try singing it with a driving triplet feel instead—you’ll sound much cooler! It may be difficult until you get used to it, but definitely give it a try.
Choo Choo TRAINEXILE
An iconic EXILE track known for the members spinning around in the intro! The song originally comes from ZOO, the group that former EXILE member HIRO belonged to, and HIRO participated in the track with both ZOO and EXILE.
On the variety show “Mecha-Ike,” Takashi Okamura from Ninety-Nine also performed a dance to this song as Okazail.
It’s a bright, approachable tune, so it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped if you sing it at karaoke while dancing together!
