Hanamizuki is one of Yo Hitoto’s signature songs and a perennial favorite that consistently ranks high in karaoke charts.

Its straightforward, familiar melody line makes it easy to sing, so it’s often recommended for that reason.

Sakura Clear SkiesYuri

Sakura Clear Skies

Sakura Haru Yuri

This song, a graduation piece filled with gratitude to one’s parents, is by the singer-songwriter Yuuri.

Speaking of Yuuri, he began attracting attention in the J-POP scene following the success of his 2019 release “Kakurenbo.” One of his charms is his husky, sensual voice, and that appeal is on full display in this track as well.

I think many listeners especially love the way his vocals soar right before and during the chorus.

If you’re confident that your own singing voice is on the huskier side, definitely give this song a try.

The lyrics express feelings for a beloved person who has ended up far away.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, gentle tune, this is a great choice.

It was the theme song for the film “Let’s Go, JETS! From Small Town Girls to U.

Leo Ieiri – “Spring Breeze” (Short Film)

Haru Kaze Ieiri Leo

It’s a bittersweet love song about how the changing seasons bring spring around and, each time, make you remember an old romance.

It’s a track by Leo Ieiri, a singer-songwriter from Fukuoka Prefecture, included on her 2018 album “TIME.” It carries that tang of youthful sweetness that tightens your chest.

I’d recommend it to women of all ages, across generations.

Takanori Kawasaki - Sakura Usagi [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Sakura Usagi Kawasaki Takaya

This song portrays a woman who, on the brink of graduation, can’t bring herself to confess her feelings to the person she has a crush on.

Even though they might not see each other after graduation, she keeps hesitating and can’t get the words out… Perhaps some of you have had a similar experience.

The song’s vocal range is generally comfortable for men with a typical range, though some might find the high notes a bit challenging.

There’s some leeway on the lower end, so if high notes are difficult for you, lowering the key slightly should make it easier to sing.

You may find yourself recalling the bittersweet romances of your school days as you sing.

Kaela Kimura “Rirura Riruha” (Official Music Video)

Rirura Riruha Kaela Kimura

This song, known as one of Kaela Kimura’s hit tracks, was released in March 2005 and was also used in a Vodafone commercial.

It’s a song that helped me regain my confidence amid busy days.

The lyrics embody the meanings of the marguerite flower—sincerity and honesty—conveying a warm feeling wrapped in kindness.

It’s a great song to listen to when you need courage to jump into a new environment or when you feel like you’re losing yourself; it will lift your spirits.

Perfect for anyone feeling anxious about starting a new chapter in April.

Sing it at karaoke, and it’s sure to touch someone’s heart.
