JingleYuma
Yuma, who is active as the “good singer” of the YouTuber group Comdot, has a track called Jingle that my students often sang when their throats weren’t in great shape because it’s “easy to sing,” so I think it’s in a range that’s easy for others too.
Jingle’s vocal range is B2 to D#4, staying mostly in the low to mid range.
Of course, it builds from verse A to verse B to the chorus, but unlike other songs, the range doesn’t change much, so it might be easier to keep pitch.
It’s a perfect song for winter, so start practicing it now!
In progress (experiment ongoing)Ringo Sheena
This song carries a powerful message from Ringo Sheena: “Let’s use ourselves as test subjects and explore how to live better!” Released in July 2025 as the campaign song for Shiseido Ultimune, it resonates perfectly with the campaign’s ethos of breaking free from every constraint.
Set to an energetic rock sound, it’s an anthem to freely experimenting without fear of failure.
When you’re held back by others’ eyes or conventional wisdom and can’t take the first step, listening to this track will spark the motivation to say, “Let’s just try it.”
Johnny Remember MeThe Meteors
A song that tells a heartbreakingly terrifying tale of hearing the voice of a deceased lover whisper, “Don’t forget me,” again and again.
Originally a ghostly pop hit from 1961, it takes on a completely different character in the hands of psychobilly originators The Meteors.
This track features an aggressive sound that overwrites the original’s melancholy with punk urgency and a pounding upright bass.
The protagonist’s sorrow is transmuted into a near-maniacal energy that shakes the listener to the core.
Released in January 1983, it opens the classic album Wreckin’ Crew and has remained a live staple ever since.
How about giving it a spin on a night when you want to savor both horror-movie thrills and hard-hitting rock ’n’ roll?
Life is full of dreams.Ringo Sheena
This work raises its voice in a brilliant big-band sound to celebrate the wonder of life and hope for the future.
As we grow up and come to know reality, we hesitate to speak of our dreams… yet it gently gives us a push, reminding us that life is still rich and full of joy.
It makes us realize anew the joy of having someone call our name and the preciousness of being special.
Originally created for a commercial that aired starting in March 2016, it was later included on the self-cover album “Gyakuyunyuu ~Koukuukyoku~.” Listen to it when you’re about to take a new step forward, and your heart will surely feel lighter.
JourneyRIP SLYME
This song features a warm guitar tone with a 60s-inspired texture and a lively verbal back-and-forth by four MCs, creating a pleasant groove.
Produced as the title track for the album “JOURNEY,” released in June 2009 after about a year and seven months, it became a work symbolizing the beginning of a new chapter for the group.
Centered on the theme of life as a long journey, the lyrics are written in accessible language and seem to be filled with hope and anticipation for the future.
The positive message—echoing the group’s own feelings about restarting after a hiatus—resonates directly with the heart.
Its buoyant beat gently nudges anyone taking a new step forward and pairs perfectly with an uplifting weekend drive.
era; age; time; periodMiyuki Nakajima
Miyuki Nakajima released this timeless song in 1975—a masterpiece that resonates with universal themes and profound lyrics.
While depicting the joys and sorrows of life, as well as encounters and farewells, it conveys a hopeful message that we can always overcome difficult times.
June 10 is Time Day in Japan, and this song gently embraces the way we live along with the flow of time.
From 1993 to 2000, it was featured as the theme song for the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications’ New Year’s postcard commercials, making it beloved by an even wider audience.
For seniors, it can evoke fond memories and provide an opportunity to reflect on life’s journey.
It is also recommended for karaoke or music recreation at day-service centers.
Accompanied by its gentle melody, may it bring everyone a warm and heartening moment together.
