CecilYui Asaka

Yui Asaka’s signature song “Cécile,” a jewel of the idol scene, tenderly conveys the ache of young love with a gentle melody that seeps into the heart.

Released in March 1989, it was her 11th single.

Inspired by the protagonist Cécile from the film “Bonjour Tristesse,” the lyrics delicately portray the subtleties of human relationships and the process of growing up.

The vulnerability of becoming an adult and the yearning for a love beyond friendship resonated with many.

The song is characterized by a relatively narrow vocal range and a very simple vocal line.

Isn’t ZARD’s “Makenaide,” which plays every year in the latter half of 24-Hour Television, a song that everyone—regardless of age or gender—has heard at least once? If you sing it at karaoke, people around you will probably join in.

It’s a song that energizes you whether you’re listening or singing, so it’s highly recommended for karaoke!

Akiko Kosaka “Anata (You)” 1973
You, Akiko Kosaka

It’s a number marked by a dramatic melody that conveys a sense of story not only through its lyrics but through the tune itself.

Astonishingly, she first sang it at just 16! With this song, she won the Grand Prix at the Yamaha Popular Song Contest.

It’s a piece that makes you feel as if you’ve starred in an entire drama just by singing a single song.

Crossing Amagi PassSayuri Ishikawa

Enka that lets anyone blow off stress just by singing! This song portrays a woman’s passionate feelings, set against Mount Amagi on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Be gentle where you should relax, and put in your full strength where you need power! Just singing while feeling those shifts takes quite a bit of stamina.

In return, you’ll feel so refreshed you might think you’ve lost weight after just one go! Let’s clear away the frustrations of your 50s with this song!

TAXIKiyomi Suzuki

This was the third single by Kiyomi Suzuki with Rats & Star, released in November 1987.

When I listen to this song, I can really feel the atmosphere of the bubble era at the time of its release coming through the music.

I think women in their 50s would definitely understand this feeling.

Kiyomi Suzuki’s singing is powerful and dynamic, rivaling that of Black singers, so it might be quite difficult for the average person to sing it as-is.

But I believe there’s a sensation that only those who experienced “that era,” when the world was more glamorous than it is now, can truly understand.

If you sing this song at a party where people of the same generation gather, it will surely be a hit!

The Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE

When it comes to DREAMS COME TRUE’s signature songs, many people probably think of this one.

It’s a heartwarming piece that looks back on memories with a loved one while singing about hope for the future.

Although it’s included on the album “LOVE GOES ON…” and was never released as a single, it has continued to be cherished by many.

It was also featured in a 1993 commercial for a SONY product, making it popular across generations.

It’s a song that warms the heart when you want to feel the bond with someone important or when you’re tired from everyday life.

With its bouncy rhythm and Japanese-style arrangement, “Enya na Kibun” is the kind of song that makes you want to clap along and sway your body—you should definitely try singing it at karaoke.

Released in 2009 as a single by Miyuki Kawanaka, it’s a track that fills you with energy as you listen to her playful yet somehow gentle voice.

Kawanaka’s signature vibrato appears throughout, but there aren’t any intimidating high notes, and it’s a song you can enjoy even if you can’t do vibrato.

So first, try singing it without overthinking.

Once you get used to it, practice adding a bit of vibrato little by little!
