I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

One of the most indispensable singer-songwriters in the Japanese music scene, Yosui Inoue.

Since his debut as a singer in 1969, he has released numerous hit songs such as “Kasa ga Nai” and “Shonen Jidai.”

He came to be recognized as a leading figure in the genre known at the time as “New Music.”

Even in his more rhythmic numbers, his vocals and musicality have a distinctive, slightly ennui-laden atmosphere.

In this article, we’ve picked out some of Yosui Inoue’s songs that are especially easy to sing at karaoke.

“Canary” is a song with a strangely captivating charm that I just can’t get out of my head.

Among Yosui Inoue’s works from the 1980s, it’s included on the highly acclaimed album LION & PELICAN.

“Canary” is characterized by its waltz rhythm and, for its time, an avant-garde, floating sound arrangement.

If you’re just singing it, there’s little that’s technically difficult beyond being mindful that the lyrics move a bit quickly.

However, please keep in mind that it’s not the kind of song that really builds to a climax.

When choosing it for karaoke, be careful to pick it when you’re with companions who will appreciate a song with this kind of distinctive atmosphere.
