A Bouquet of Kisses in the RainMiki Imai

Miki Imai - A Bouquet of Kisses in the Rain

Miki Imai’s famous song “A Bouquet of Kisses in the Rain.” The composition is by singer-songwriter KAN, and it features a soft, unornamented melody.

Because it’s sung by Miki Imai, many people may feel it’s high, but in reality the vocal range isn’t that wide, and there are no sudden high passages.

As long as you sing it in your proper key, you should be able to handle every part without any trouble.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Summertime CinderellaNEW!Green Yellow Society

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Summer Time Cinderella' Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Summer Time Cinderella

Among Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s songs, “Summertime Cinderella” has a relatively calm vocal range.

There are occasional high notes, but you don’t really need to belt them.

However, the tempo is a bit brisk at 143 BPM, so it’s important to really lock into the rhythm.

The lowest note, F#3, appears at the end of the first verse, and it’s a spot where pitching can be quite tricky.

What you should keep in mind is to keep your eyebrows lifted at all times! Not just in the low parts—if you sing with your eyebrows raised throughout, it becomes much easier to hit the pitches, so I highly recommend it.

For low notes in particular, try to project the voice in front of your eyebrows so the sound doesn’t get muffled and can resonate.

It’s not too difficult, so be sure to keep this in mind when you sing!

Small SongNEW!JUJU

JUJU “Little Song” Music Video — Theme song for the Monday 9 pm drama “Tomorrow Will Be an Even Better Day”

JUJU made her full-fledged debut in 2009.

For many women in their 40s, “Yasashisa de Afureru You ni” might be their youth anthem.

JUJU released “Chiisana Uta” in September 2025.

It has a very calm vibe, so once you learn the melody, it’s easy for anyone to sing.

The overall vocal range is G#3 to C#5, and since it’s not a song that requires belting, it’s reassuring for those who struggle with high notes.

If you place each word carefully as you sing, you won’t rush the rhythm.

Singing as if you’re speaking to someone also helps you keep the rhythm, so it’s recommended! For parts that feel a bit high, use plenty of breath and lightly sing with the image of resonating in your head.

Also, the key changes in the last chorus and the range goes up, so don’t push it—getting comfortable using falsetto there will make it easier to sing.

My pager doesn’t beep anymoreMuri Kunitake

Mariko Kunitake “Pokeberu ga Naranakute” MV

Mari Kunitake, who was active as a singer and model.

She’s what you might call a one-hit wonder, but many people probably still remember her.

Speaking of her hit song, of course it has to be “Pokeberu ga Naranakute” (“My Pager Doesn’t Ring”).

Released as the theme song for a drama of the same name, this piece is arranged as a ballad, with a vocal line that has little fluctuation and is very easy to sing.

Many of you likely watched the drama at the time, so consider adding this song to your repertoire.

On your marksNEW!Aimyon

Aimyon – About One [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This is a song scheduled for digital release in July 2025, selected as the theme song for the TBS drama “The 19th Chart.” In an interview, Aimyon said, “It’s my first song at 30, and it also has the meaning of returning to my roots.” The tempo is very relaxed, with little pitch fluctuation, making it an easy key to sing.

If you want to return to your origins or make a fresh start, why not learn this song? Also, as the song progresses into the latter half, Aimyon’s singing shifts from falsetto to chest voice.

Even without consciously trying, I think you’ll naturally be drawn into the world of the song as you sing it.

In particular, the latter half of the final chorus is sung with great power.

As your emotions rise, it’s easy to tense up, so try singing while projecting your voice into the distance to avoid straining.

sunflowerNEW!Ado

[Ado] Sunflower

Ado’s song “Himawari,” released in July 2025 as the theme for the TBS drama “18/40: Dreams and Love If We’re Together,” features a restrained approach compared to her usual high-tone vocals and powerful shouts.

That said, the vocal range spans from mid1 G# to hi D#, which is by no means narrow, and the melody has considerable leaps.

It’s best to thoroughly learn the vocal line beforehand before attempting it.

By the time you can sing this piece well, you should have overcome being tone-deaf.

I can hear humming.Kahimi Karie

I Hear Humming / Kahimi Karie [Official Music Video]

Kahimi Karie is a female singer whose music, centered on genres like neo-lounge and Shibuya-kei, gained popularity in certain circles.

If you were a fashionable Shibuya-kei gal in your early 40s at the time, there’s a good chance you know her.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Humming ga Kikoeru (“I Can Hear Humming”).

It’s a very stylish work with great taste, but the vocal lines are simple and mostly sung in a whisper.

The range is narrow as well, so as long as you adjust to a suitable key, anyone can sing it easily.
