Best of My LoveThe Emotions
A quintessential disco track of the 1970s that sings of the joy of love and gratitude over a light, buoyant rhythm.
Produced by members of Earth, Wind & Fire, this gem perfectly blends The Emotions’ beautiful harmonies with a funky groove.
Released in May 1977 as a single from the album “Rejoice,” it held the No.
1 spot on the Billboard charts for four consecutive weeks.
It was also used in the opening of the 1997 film “Boogie Nights,” earning support across generations.
When you want to fully savor the joy of being in love under warm sunshine, this song will gently wrap your heart.
The Emotions’ melodies of love continue to resonate in our hearts across time.

Crimson Japanese lantern (plant)Midori Oka
It’s a hidden gem that, while reminiscing about the Hozuki Market held in Asakusa, highlights its intense passion even more by choosing a calm, beautiful delivery instead of putting overt resentment over betrayal front and center.
Although it’s positioned as the coupling track to the single “Namidauta,” released in February 2024, it’s sure to be irresistible for those who love Midori Oka’s mysterious side.
The melody doesn’t demand particularly difficult techniques and is relatively easy to sing, so I encourage you to give it a try at karaoke.
With songs like this, it’s harder to express the simmering, uncontrollable emotions in a restrained way than to showcase technique, so be sure to read the lyrics carefully before you sing!
Ticket of PartingMidori Oka
This song, Betsuri no Kippu (Ticket of Parting), is the coupling track to Kiri no Kawa (River of Mist), a masterpiece that marked a fresh start after switching record labels and arguably changed Midori Oka’s career.
Like Kiri no Kawa, it was composed by Tetsuya Gen, and with lyrics featuring words like “night train” and “cape,” it lets you fully enjoy the classic world of enka.
Since the melody is generally built around higher notes, those who find that difficult should try lowering the key.
The chorus stays in the high range continuously, so it’s good to be mindful of your breathing points as well.
Baby SharkPinkfong
One of the biggest hits on YouTube for children is the Pinkfong song.
Featuring a family of sharks, its catchy melody and cute choreography are especially popular with kids.
Its more than 13 billion views on YouTube show just how popular it is.
Released in June 2016, it later got a TV anime adaptation and a movie as well.
It’s also hugely popular on Instagram and is often used in videos of babies and children.
Many of you probably know it already, so try using it when you post your baby in Stories—it will make the cuteness stand out even more.
BarelyRYU ITO
This is a pleasant track with warm guitar and piano sounds.
It features a calm atmosphere with chillout and lo-fi elements, making it popular for relaxing or as background music while working.
Released by RYU ITO in 2024, the song was published on the YouTube channel RYU ITO MUSIC and has garnered thousands of views.
It’s also recommended as BGM for vlogs.
Its ability to create a quiet space subtly enhances the mood of visuals.
It’s a perfect choice for those seeking comfort in a busy life or for creators making videos with a soothing vibe.
Baby, Please Burn Out9mm Parabellum Bullet
9mm Parabellum Bullet is a band that could be called veterans of the Japanese rock scene.
They’ve been active for a long time, and their consistent musical style has earned them strong support from many fans and critics in the scene.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Baby, Please Burn Out.
It’s a very rock-heavy track with a cool guitar riff, but the vocal range is narrow and there are no difficult long notes or shouts.
Even those with a rough, raspy voice can sing it comfortably, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
