Kiyoshi's Zundoko SongKiyoshi Hikawa

Kiyoshi Hikawa / Kiyoshi no Zundoko-bushi [Official]
Kiyoshi no Zundoko-bushi Hikawa Kiyoshi

A heartwarming, approachable song that makes the most of rhythms found in folk songs and enka.

This masterpiece fully showcases Kiyoshi Hikawa’s charm, beautifully expressing the bittersweetness of love, masculine strength, and longing for one’s hometown.

With his natural vocal talent and refreshing appeal, Hikawa presents a uniquely modern take on the traditional enka worldview.

It was released by Nippon Columbia in February 2002.

The song won the Gold Prize at the 44th Japan Record Awards and is known as one of Hikawa’s signature tracks.

With its relaxed tempo and narrow melodic range, it’s a piece you can sing with a calm mindset.

During the chorus, it’s also nice to have listeners add call-and-response interjections!

Like tonight's moonElephant Kashimashi

It’s a deeply moving masterpiece that powerfully sings of passion for the future while gazing into everyday feelings of emptiness and loneliness.

Set against the backdrop of a city at dusk, it portrays the solitude and struggles of people living in an urban landscape, yet conveys a strong will to keep looking forward and moving on.

The soulful vocals unique to Elephant Kashimashi and the melody that resonates with the heart are beautifully in harmony.

Released in July 1997, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Because the Moon Shines at Night,” and was also included on the album “Run Toward Tomorrow – Moonlit Songs.” In 2017, it was performed in the band’s first appearance on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, winning over even more listeners.

It’s a track that will evoke deep empathy when you feel lost in life or spend a night thinking of someone dear.

homeYusaku Kiyama

A moving ballad filled with warm father-to-child love and hopes for growth has been delivered by Yusaku Kiyama.

His gentle, calm voice conveys deep affection for family, and despite its straightforward storytelling, it leaves a lasting resonance in the listener’s heart.

Released in February 2008, the song was featured as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “UtaSta!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya,” and it also led to his appearance at the 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that same year.

For karaoke, it’s recommended when you want to reflect on family memories or express gratitude to someone special.

It’s a tender, warmth-filled song—like softly returning someone’s hand squeeze under a bright sky.

BLONDEAkina Nakamori

“BLONDE” is Akina Nakamori’s 18th single, a song that highlights the stylishness of romance in the bubble era.

In particular, the cool vibrato that rings out in the chorus accentuates her elegance.

Many of her songs are inherently difficult to sing due to her superb vocal technique, but this one seems relatively easier to sing among them.

The melody stays within a range that’s manageable even for male singers, so it’s a recommended choice for men who want to try singing one of Akina’s songs.

Just by you being hereKome Kome Club

KOME KOME CLUB – Kimi ga Irudakede (1992)
Just by you being there - Kome Kome CLUB

The 13th single by Kome Kome Club, released in May 1992.

Helped by its use as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Sugao no Mama de,” it became a massive hit, selling over 2 million copies in total.

As a hit from the early ’90s, the heyday of J-pop, many people who are now in their 50s likely enjoyed singing this song at karaoke back then.

Watching the video again now, you can feel the “bubble-era vibe” everywhere—from vocalist Carl Smoky Ishii’s hairstyle and costumes to various elements of the song.

If you recall that atmosphere while singing it, you might find it even more enjoyable.

By the time of the Christmas carolsJunichi Inagaki

This is Junichi Inagaki’s 27th single, released in October 1992.

It’s such a classic among J-pop Christmas songs that it hardly needs any explanation! I doubt there’s anyone who hasn’t heard it.

In fact, as of December 2023, it remains Inagaki’s biggest hit.

Of course, the primary reason for its massive success is the song’s inherent appeal, but it’s also very karaoke-friendly, which has helped many people sing it over the years.

The melody is very easy to sing as well, so when you perform it, pay attention to how you handle each phrase—where to hold notes, where to cut them, and so on.

Blues of Black ScarsCRAZY KEN BAND

Crazy Ken Band - The Blues of Black Scars (Kuroi Kizuato no Blues)
Black Scar Blues CRAZY KEN BAND

This song, included on the Crazy Ken Band’s album “GALAXY” and centered around Ken Yokoyama, is a work notable for its blues-style arrangement.

The lyrics by Ken Yokoyama portray the regret and remorse that accompany the decisions we make throughout a life full of choices.

Upon its release in 2006, the album enjoyed enduring popularity, with this track standing out as a particularly noteworthy piece—even charting as high as No.

10 at the time.

Because the song strongly reflects the flavors of enka and kayōkyoku, it should be especially easy to sing for men in their 50s.
