CHAGE and ASKA’s easy-to-sing songs [Recommended for karaoke]

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

Since their debut in 1979, CHAGE and ASKA have achieved record-breaking success in the Japanese music scene, continually producing memorable classics that have stayed in people’s hearts.

Their masterpieces, backed by overwhelming vocal power and expressive depth, have long been favorites at karaoke, but some of you might think they seem tough to sing in practice.

In this article, we’ve looked beyond the mega-hits to include album tracks as well, and compiled a selection of relatively easy-to-sing songs.

Of course, they’re perfect as duets, but many of these songs also work well solo—so take this opportunity to check them out!

As wild strawberries sway, by CHAGE and ASKA

Included on the 15th album “GUYS,” the song “As Wild Strawberries Sway” was used the following year, in 1993, as a theme for a Japan Airlines image commercial.

The lyrics, said to be written to the artist’s future self under the theme of “looking back on the past,” are likely to resonate with many listeners who see themselves in them.

The relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing calmly, but be careful with the occasional melodic leaps, which can cause pitch inaccuracies.

Also, if you don’t stay mindful of the bouncy feel of the shuffle beat, the mood can change, so in karaoke, be sure to listen closely to the ensemble as you sing.

In conclusion

From blockbuster hits everyone knows to hidden gems, I’ve picked out some easy-to-sing CHAGE and ASKA songs.

Making this selection reminded me that even melodies simple enough to hum become a uniquely CHAGE and ASKA world the moment ASKA sings and CHAGE’s harmonies join in—something no one else can imitate.

Of course you can sing them solo, but do try them as a duet!
