This is Sharam Q’s sixth single, released in October 1994.

It was also used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime “D·N·A²: Dokoka de Nakushita Aitsu no Aitsu,” and it became a long-selling hit, marking Sharam Q’s first million-selling single.

So as of July 2023, many people in their 30s have likely heard it.

As this was the 1990s, when the karaoke market was considered crucial for a song’s success, the track is structured to be very easy to remember and sing.

It’s a song I highly recommend even for those who don’t usually sing much.

Since it’s a slightly slow-tempo song, just be careful not to get ahead of the beat when you sing.

fragileEvery Little Thing

Every Little Thing is a music duo that epitomized 1990s avex.

“fragile” became their biggest hit after they became a two-member act, and it’s still loved and often sung at karaoke.

It’s a classic overflowing with feelings for someone special, and many people have probably listened to it while driving.

The title means “easily broken,” and it’s a timeless masterpiece that sings of the delicate emotions of being in love.

I for YouLUNA SEA

A signature song by LUNA SEA, released in 1998.

It seems the original version already existed around the time of their early album “EDEN,” but there’s a story that they kept leaving it off, saying, “A piece this grand is still too early for us.” Many people have probably sung this song to someone they love.

Utterly cool.

It gives me chills.

Am I the only one who thinks no woman would fail to swoon if a man sang this with swagger? The lyrics are the kind that make women’s hearts skip a beat.

Also, the occasional English lines and the overall Western pop vibe give it a refined feel, which really adds to its coolness.
