It’s a love song, but with Superfly’s signature powerful vocals it gives a dynamic impression.

I imagine it would feel great to sing at karaoke.

The phrase “A bouquet with love,” which is also used in the chorus, is striking, making it a memorable track.

Marcy is a three-piece rock band whose lyrics, woven with striking phrases that capture delicate emotional nuances, seize fans’ hearts and never let go.

Their digital single “Tada Sore Dake no Koto ga sa” was featured as an insert song in episode 2 of ABEMA’s “Koisuru Weekend Homestay 2023 Spring ~Sweet Orange Memory~.” Its gradually building structure and the chorus’s beautiful melodic line make it a song you’ll want to belt out at karaoke.

It’s a sentimental number that conjures vivid scenes from its heartrending lyrics.

It’s written from a boy’s point of view, portraying the feelings of chasing after the girl he likes despite saying this and that.

As the title suggests, it’s a refreshing song that’s perfect for summer.

The vocal projection in this piece is also a bit advanced, so it’s worth checking out.

It’s a major hit and a love song that just about everyone knows, often sung at karaoke.

The upbeat melody and bright, positive lyrics are wonderful.

I Like Your Face (20th Anniversary Live at Kobe World Memorial Hall 2013.8.25)

I think quite a few people have had the experience of thinking, “I can’t put it into words, but I just really like this person.” The third single, ‘Kimi no Kao ga Suki da,’ released in 1994, was featured in heavy rotation on radio stations at the time and became a hot topic.

Because the lyrics are so straightforward and unadorned—single-minded, even—you can’t help but trust that the singer really means it.

Maybe being this direct actually feels more human and appealing.

How about trying it at karaoke with your partner?

Come for loveKazuyoshi Saito

Kazuyoshi Saito – Come for Love [Music Video Short ver.]

This is a passionate love song that depicts the heart of a woman who lives for love.

“Come to Love,” included on the 12th album I ♥ ME released in 2007, is a mid-tempo track that was featured in UHA Mikakuto’s e-ma throat lozenges commercial.

Pairing the straightforward lyrics of “I want to see you” with an understated musical feel is very characteristic of Saito.

It’s great for karaoke, of course, and I think it’s also perfect for solo performances on guitar or piano.
