Even if the day comes when we partKen Hirai
Precisely because we love, our hearts ache at the thought that a farewell will someday come.
Someday We’ll Have to Part, which captures that feeling, was released in 2008 and was chosen as the theme song for the film I Remember the Sky.
Its lyrics remind us that even happy days will one day end, which is why we should cherish the present and love the people we care about with all our hearts.
With its gentle melody and a range that isn’t too wide, it’s easy to sing.
Try singing it while thinking of someone precious to you.
ElegyKen Hirai
Elegy portrays the descent into a maddening, heartrending love.
Released in 2007, the song was chosen as the theme for the film Forbidden Love, with lyrics crafted based on the depiction of the film’s heroine.
The words, which show a willingness to devote one’s entire body and soul to “you,” convey emotions that cannot be contained by the simple word “love.” Although the song spans a somewhat wide vocal range, its overall flow is gentle, inviting you to savor the lyrics.
If you can adjust the key, it should become easier to sing.
Things I like about youKen Hirai
An overflowing-with-love number that openly and honestly sings about the parts of a beloved person that feel so dear, “Kimi no Suki na Tokoro.” Released in 2007, this song was chosen as the theme for the TV drama “Enka no Joou.” With its homey atmosphere and lyrics that plainly paint easily imaginable scenes, it offers listeners a gentle moment.
The melody flows in a relaxed and calm way, making it easy to get into even for those not used to singing.
Please try singing it with a kind heart.
KikyogaokaKen Hirai
Kikyogaoka is a song written from the perspective of parents.
Released digitally in 2013, it was featured in a Misawa Homes commercial.
The title, Kikyogaoka, is the name of a place in Mie Prefecture, where Ken Hirai is from, and the music video was also filmed there.
It’s a heartwarming track that makes you imagine, “This is probably how my parents feel about me.” With its gentle melody and relatively modest vocal range, it’s also easy to sing at karaoke.
#302Ken Hirai
“#302” portrays a bittersweet love for a woman nursing a broken heart.
Released in 2019, the song was used as the theme for the drama “4-Minute Marigold,” and the music video features Yui Sakuma and Sho Kiyohara.
Although the rhythm is in 6/8, the melody laid over it is very simple, so as long as you follow the lyrics closely, you should be able to sing it without feeling too uneasy.
The chorus goes a bit higher, so if high notes aren’t your strong suit, I recommend adjusting the key to something more comfortable.
I will fall in love with you.Ken Hirai
Boku wa Kimi ni Koi wo Suru is a straightforward, heartfelt song sung to a beloved person you’ll no longer be able to meet.
Released in 2009, it was used as the theme song for the film I Give My First Love to You.
Although the message is passionate, the melody is relaxed, making it easy to sing.
The chorus is a bit high in key while the other parts are relatively low, so be careful when setting the key.
That said, if you adjust the key properly, it’s a song that’s easy for anyone to try, regardless of gender.
even ifKen Hirai
“even if” depicts the bittersweet feelings of loving someone who already has a partner.
Released in 2000, the song serves as the theme for Ken Hirai’s concept live series, “Ken’s Bar.” The lyrics express the frustrating emotions of wanting desperately to keep someone from leaving, yet being unable to do so.
Since the overall key is relatively high, it may be easy for women to sing in the original key.
For men who struggle with high keys, try lowering it a bit.
