Songs with titles that start with “Bi” [such as Believe or Beautiful] (1–10)
BELIEVENEW!MISIA
For more recent listeners, MISIA is probably strongly associated with being a classic, orthodox diva, but for women in their 40s, doesn’t she evoke more of an R&B singer image? Among her songs from that era, the one I especially recommend is BELIEVE.
Although the chorus features a high-pitched phrase with quite dramatic pitch jumps, most of the rest sits in the low-to-mid range.
Since there are repeated falsetto passages, if you’re not comfortable with head voice, try lowering the key before you tackle it.
BEACONNEW!DREAMS COME TRUE
For women in their 40s, isn’t DREAMS COME TRUE arguably the most popular musical duo? They have many classic songs, but the one I recommend as an easy pick even for those who aren’t great at singing is BEACON.
This relatively new track was released in July 2025 as the theme song for the TV drama “The Great Pursuit: Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Major Crimes Unit.” The song marks a return to the late-1990s to early-2000s style, featuring a wistful yet nostalgic melody.
In particular, the bass line carries a nostalgic effect that you don’t often hear in contemporary Japanese pop.
As for the vocal line, it has a relatively narrow range for a DREAMS COME TRUE song.
While there are plenty of long sustained notes, the overall pitch movement is gentle.
Big Ol’ ClockNEW!Hi-STANDARD
It is included on THE GIFT, their first album in 18 years, released in October 2017 and a chart-topping hit.
This song is a lyrical mid-tempo number that reins in the band’s signature sense of speed.
Its beautiful choral work and heartfelt ensemble gently embrace the sense of loss symbolized by a gaping hole in the heart and a stopped clock.
On a quiet night when you’re thinking of someone dear, it may stay close to your heart.
It has also been introduced at live shows as “a song we sang for the people of Fukushima,” and you can truly feel the earnest wish for someone reaching you straight on.
Be your wingsNEW!girl next door
It’s an exhilarating, heart-stirring uptempo track.
Chosen as the theme song for the PlayStation Portable game Tales of VS.
, this song—performed by GIRL NEXT DOOR—delivers a powerful message: even when you feel your limits alone, by trusting the companions at your side you gain wings and can take flight once more.
Released as a single in August 2009, it was later included on the album NEXT FUTURE, which went on to reach No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
It’s the kind of song that will give you a push when you want to reaffirm your bonds with friends or need the courage to take that next step.
BE MY BABYCOMPLEX
Kohji Kikkawa and Tomoyasu Hotei were already immensely popular at the time.
This is the memorable debut single from their legendary duo, COMPLEX.
The hard, razor-sharp guitar and boldly synthesized, digital sound still feel incredibly stylish and cool today.
The song is a straightforward love track written by Kikkawa, with an unabashedly possessive passion for the one he loves—its masculine worldview is irresistible.
Upon its release in April 1989, it hit No.
1 on the Oricon charts, and years later it was also used in a commercial for Toyota’s bB.
Biting the second handI wish it could stay midnight forever.
Zutomayo’s famous song “Byoushin wo Kamu” has super cool instrumentals in the back, and the vocal melody has an easy-to-follow build, so it’s a really cool song if you can sing it! I’ve worked on this song several times in vocal training lessons, and I found the rhythm surprisingly tricky.
In the A verse, the length of the held notes and the timing of when the melody comes in are difficult unless you’re really locking into the beat.
If you listen closely, it shouldn’t be a problem, so try singing along with the original track repeatedly.
Also, the high note in the chorus goes up to E5, so you really need to be conscious of accents or it won’t come out easily.
First, sing slowly and check which lyrics you’ll accent.
There are quite a few high notes throughout the chorus, so it’s good to keep those accents in mind all the way to the end.
