Another recommendation is “Koibito” (“Lover”), which is getting attention again right now.

It was released in 1993 as a lead single from the album “Perfume.” The song had long been loved by many, but after it was performed on THE FIRST TAKE in 2020, it became popular with an even wider range of generations.

The song expresses pure love for a romantic partner.

It’s a classic love ballad, so learning it will likely be useful in many ways.

The whisper-voice sections are especially appealing, so try focusing your practice there!

Wandering Love SongTsuyoshi Nagabuchi

Wandering Love Song

Released after his 1978 re-debut, “Junrenka,” his second single overall and still a staple at live shows, is a timeless classic.

The blues harp’s wistful tone and sentimental lyrics evoke the charm of old-school folk songs.

The overall tempo is relaxed—including the surging melody in the chorus—and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it approachable even for those who don’t feel confident singing.

If possible, try channeling Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s current vibe; it’s sure to hype up the karaoke room.

It’s a soothing number featuring a transparent, piano-driven sound and a cute vocal tone.

The lyrics, which depict overflowing emotions, contrasted with the subtly heartrending melody, convey a depth of love that can’t be expressed by passion alone.
