WOMANAnn Lewis
Ann Lewis is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity in the 1980s with an authentic rock sound.
Because of her husky timbre and powerful vocals, many people may have shied away from singing her songs.
That’s why we recommend WOMAN.
While it has a strong rock flavor, the vocal lines are straightforward, with gentle rises and falls in pitch.
Toward the end of the chorus there’s a scale that’s a bit like a vocal ad-lib, but you can gloss over it with dynamics and subtle vibrato—so don’t worry and give it a try.
Sinbad on the ShorePink Lady
Released in 1977 as Pink Lady’s fourth single, this song is a classic overflowing with summertime vibes.
Back then, it was almost an unspoken rule that you had to learn the choreography for Pink Lady’s songs, so plenty of people could sing and dance at the same time.
If someone starts it at karaoke, it’s guaranteed to turn into a full-blown sing-along dance fest.
Incidentally, it’s said that the following year Southern All Stars titled their debut single “Katte ni Shindobaddo (Katte ni Sindbad)” by combining this song with Kenji Sawada’s work.
ronde (also rendered as rondo or round dance)Yumi Matsutoya
“Messages from Yuming: Songs of Love” was released in April 2018.
Yumi Matsutoya continues to captivate many fans no matter how many years have passed since her debut.
“Rondo,” which is also included on this album, is a song released in 1995.
It was used in the TV drama “Tatakau Oyomesama” (The Fighting Bride).
The intro that begins with a Spanish-style guitar makes you want to dance as soon as you hear it.
With the same phrases repeating, it’s an easy song to sing.
Many people probably choose “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at karaoke, but why not change things up once in a while and try singing this one too?
UFOPink Lady
Released in 1977, this was Pink Lady’s sixth single and their biggest hit.
The song is about a romance with an alien.
With its distinctive costumes and choreography, it drew the attention of women at the time, and many people imitated it.
Perhaps you remember it too?
Lullaby of the Holy MothersHiromi Iwasaki
This song is the 28th single by Hiromi Iwasaki, released in 1982.
Originally the ending theme for Tuesday Suspense Theater, it was initially produced only as a single chorus for the end credits and wasn’t planned for release.
However, due to enthusiastic requests from viewers, a full version was recorded.
I'm falling in love with you againFuyumi Sakamoto
Although it was released as a cover of the folk duo Billy BanBan, it has become so widely known that it can now be called one of her signature songs.
The gently sung Fuyumi Sakamoto version has been well received, used in commercials, and is something everyone has heard.
It’s also popular at karaoke, and many people—especially women in their 50s—sing it over and over, don’t they? The lyrics really hit you in the heart, don’t they?
DiamondsPRINCESS PRINCESS
This is their signature song, which paved the way for women’s rock bands in the ’80s! Everyone was hooked, and many young people formed girls’ bands.
They were the first all-female band to perform at the Nippon Budokan, becoming pioneers of girls’ bands in both name and reality.
Today, people of all ages form bands and have fun, and this song of theirs still gets the crowd going.
