A German singer who had an explosive hit in the ’80s.

With this one song, they rose to global fame.

It’s a female-vocal track with a great groove, and it’s a recommended song that also gets the crowd going when sung by men.

It’s a perfect pick to hype up people of the same generation.

Sweet Trap — Cheap Trick

If you’re a rock-loving man in your 50s, you might know Cheap Trick.

Since their songs are straightforward, how about singing the song titled “I Want You to Want Me” to a woman? In Japanese it can be embarrassing, but in English you might be able to say it.

The Carpenters – Sing a Song

It’s a famous song by the Carpenters.

It has a beautiful melody line, and since it’s a very light, straightforward song, I think it’s easier to sing compared to “Yesterday Once More.” Although it’s originally for a female vocal, I think it becomes quite easy to sing if you adjust the key.

A song whose poignant melody lingers in the heart.

It’s so famous that there’s probably no one who doesn’t know it.

I remember thinking back in my school days, “So this is what a weeping guitar sounds like.” However, since it requires a certain level of vocal technique, I recommend it for beginners who’ve gotten somewhat comfortable with singing.

It’s a classic, isn’t it? Since both male and female vocals are intertwined, there might be some tricky parts, but the great thing about this song is that when you start singing, others will jump in to help.

It has a vibe close to a chorus, so how about everyone singing it together and having some fun?

Let It BeThe Beatles

Let It Be (Remastered 2009)

The title track “Let It Be” from their 13th album, which also served as the soundtrack to a documentary film of the same name.

Its memorable piano-driven chord progression has had a profound influence on musicians worldwide, and in Japan it’s one of those universally recognized signature songs you often hear in many places.

With many repeated pitches in the melody and a relaxed tempo, it’s approachable not only for newcomers to Western music but also for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

As a song everyone knows, it’s sure to draw attention at karaoke—an imperishable classic.

Bee Gees – Melody Fair

When you think of the Bee Gees, you might strongly associate them with disco songs tied to Saturday Night Fever, like Night Fever and Stayin’ Alive.

But they also have many exquisite ballads that gently tug at the heart, such as Melody Fair.

This song is from the film Melody.
