Twistin’ the Night AwaySam Cooke
When you listen to a lively rhythm, your body just starts moving on its own, doesn’t it? This is one of the signature songs by Sam Cooke, who was active as a soul and gospel singer.
It was released in 1962.
Covered by many famous musicians, it’s a timeless classic that has gone down in history.
swallowYOASOBI
A YOASOBI song created together with children.
Its light, approachable melody weaves in the importance of living together.
Released digitally in October 2021 as the theme song for NHK’s children’s SDGs program series, the piece has since been loved in many settings, including being played at Tokyo Yakult Swallows official games and performed on the Red and White Year-End Song Festival.
Using a small swallow as its symbol and depicting a journey to new places, the lyrics sing of the coexistence of different lives and values, resonating deeply with listeners.
Why not incorporate it into occasions where everyone can sing together, such as sports days or school performances?
Cold lieaiko
When it comes to singing bittersweet love songs, aiko is absolutely exceptional.
This track is one of those poignant songs, too.
As the title “Cold Lies” suggests, the struggle between caring for someone and the dilemma of telling a lie feels heartbreakingly real.
It matches the music perfectly, and I think it’s a masterpiece.
thrushmakino megumi
After working as a tour bus guide for Kokusai Kogyo Kanko Bus Company, Megumi Makino switched to a singing career in 2003 and made her debut that year with this song.
At the 37th Japan Cable Radio Awards in 2004, she won the Cable Music Award.
The song is notable for her powerful vocals, which are striking given her slender physique.
Moon KeeperPorunogurafiti
A bright, pop-rock sound carries on from the very beginning.
The scenes described in the lyrics are all beautiful, and the actions of the person who seems to be a lover are amusing, so I think the lyrics alone are enjoyable.
However, the harmony with guitarist Haruichi really enhances the cool, rock edge of the track, so be sure to give the song itself a proper listen, too.
atonementHitoto Yo
People may interpret the heart of a woman who leaves despite mutual love as either kindness or betrayal, depending on the person.
In “Tsugunai,” however, it is a poignant song about a woman who fell in love with a younger man and chooses to leave him for the sake of his future happiness.
Hitoto Yo covers this song with remarkable expressiveness and vocal skill.
You’re on a roll! You’re killing it!Nagayama Miho
Miho Nakayama’s song “Tsuiterune Notterune” is memorable for its catchy melody and poppy rhythm.
Released in August 1986, it was also used as Shiseido’s fall ’86 campaign song.
It reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a beloved track for many.
The lyrics depict chance encounters and fated moments in love, with a theme of those instants when luck and the goddess of destiny smile upon you.
Its vocal range isn’t too wide and the rhythm is easy to follow, making it a karaoke-friendly song.
It’s a fun, nostalgic tune that women in their 50s in particular should check out.
