Kamenashi Kazuya – Zutto (sub español) para alguien especial
for a long time / all the time / continuouslyKamenashi Kazuya

This is Kazuya Kamenashi’s solo track included on KAT-TUN’s 2012 album “CHAIN.” Against a harmony woven from a heartbeat-like rhythm and a dreamy, ethereal melody, his vocals—at times spoken, at times passionately sung—resonate deep within the heart.

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Zutto Zutto Zutto' Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Forever, Forever, Forever
Forever and ever and everRyokushokushakai

This is a digital-only track by Ryokuoushoku Shakai, released on June 4, 2021.

It was written specifically as the song for Asahi Beer’s “Asahi Super Dry The Cool” commercial, so many of you may have heard it through the ad.

From the very beginning, the melody leaps dramatically up and down, and Haruko Nagaya’s vocals switch masterfully between falsetto and chest voice to deliver a stunning performance.

If you can casually pull this off at karaoke, I’m sure you’ll draw attention and admiration from everyone around you.

Singing it like she does requires quite advanced vocal technique, but it’s definitely worth the challenge—give it a try!

Fuji TV announcer Hiroki Fujii does an impression of his father, Fumiya Fujii: “JULIA ni Shoushin.” When placed side by side with Fumiya Fujii from his Checkers era, they actually look quite similar.

This is a video of Miura getting flustered as KABA-chan comes on strong on a TV karaoke show.

He’s covering Sharam Q’s big hit “Zuru-i Onna.” Listening like this, Miura is really a great singer.

His soft, easy-to-listen-to voice might make him a vocalist well-suited for covers.

We’ll always be together.Yamashita Tatsuro

When we think of weddings, we think of a new beginning for two people—a day when they vow to walk through life together.

This song by Tatsuro Yamashita feels like a blessing for their departure on that journey.

Built around a gentle, piano-centered sound that gradually brings in more instruments, it gives the sense of emotions growing fuller and brighter.

The lyrics, like a vow, are memorable too—expressing the reassurance of having found a partner and the hope that happiness will continue.

While it’s a song that reflects the feelings of the bride and groom, it might also be wonderful to gift it to them so they can feel that happiness even more.

Zutto…Hamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki / Zutto… (ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2014-2015 A Cirque de Minuit)
Zutto...Hamasaki Ayumi

This song is Ayumi Hamasaki’s 53rd single CD, released in 2014.

It peaked at No.

5 on the Oricon CD chart.

A winter love ballad in which Hamasaki sings candidly about her feelings for someone she loves, it’s a perfect song for Christmas and highly recommended.

ZOO ~Please Give Me Love~Kanno Miho

Aiwo Kudasai (“Zoo” by Miho Kanno) Miho Kanno
ZOO ~Please Give Me Love~Kanno Miho

The theme song for the 2000 drama “Ai o Kudasai” is “ZOO ~Ai o Kudasai~.” Miho Kanno, the drama’s lead actress, released the song under her character’s name.

Although Miho Kanno had been active as a singer since 1995, she hasn’t released anything since this song.

Her singing voice is straightforward and full-bodied, and listening to it feels cleansing.

Today, she’s known as one of the most enduring actresses.

Perhaps many people didn’t even know she used to sing? Please give it a listen.

illustrated reference bookSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI is a rock band that has been active for many years.

While they are categorized as a rock band, almost all of their songs fall under J-pop, and they consistently release works infused with unique concepts.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Zukan.” The vocal range spans roughly from mid1 B to high B, which is somewhat wide, but the pitch transitions are gentle, making it overall an easy song to sing.

It’s also one of their latest tracks, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
