Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix)Kazuyoshi Saito
Included as the B-side on the 21st single “On the Other Side of the Moon,” released in 2001, is “Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix).” Its warm message—“Let’s paint just the way we want”—soothes both heart and body.
It has a charm that makes you want to close your eyes and listen.
Since the melody is basically a repetition of short phrases, you’ll probably be able to remember a good portion of it after a few listens.
woundKazuyoshi Saito
A straightforward love song that sings to a woman who hides her emotional scars and puts on a brave face, saying, “I love that about you, too.” Released in 2015 as the single “Semete Ikōze!/Kizuguchi,” the track was used as the theme song for the drama “Konkatsu Deka.” Its rock ’n’ roll guitar sound meshes perfectly with Saito’s husky vocals, making it a feel-good listen.
With a relatively low vocal range and a leisurely melody, it’s easy to learn and easy to sing.
How about giving it a try at karaoke when your crush is around?

The Beatles I saw were inside the TV.Kazuyoshi Saito
It’s a message song that sings, with both irony and sincerity, about one’s feelings toward the era they live in—an honest, true-to-life piece.
“The Beatles I Saw Were on TV” is the debut single, released in 1993.
After appearing on the music audition program “Saturday My Family’s TV: Yuji Miyake’s Tenka Gomen ne!”, Saito won the right to make a major-label debut, and this was the track that came out of it.
The song carries a bittersweet mood, yet somehow leaves you feeling refreshingly clear at the end.
It’s a male-vocal number, but I think it’s easy for women to sing as well.
The stars look beautiful in the sky.Kazuyoshi Saito
The popular song “Sora ni Hoshi ga Kirei” (The Stars Are Beautiful in the Sky), known from Myojo’s Charumera TV commercial and as an insert song in the 2016 drama Hibana, was released in 1996 as their 10th single.
Its lyrics offer the comforting presence of someone by your side when you’re feeling down after a failure or worrying over little things—and that worldview is truly wonderful.
The melody is calm, and the vocal range is on the lower side.
Try singing it while imagining a night sky with twinkling stars.
swayingMasaki Suda
While fast songs where you can’t quite keep up with the lyrics can sometimes be glossed over with sheer momentum, many people find them difficult.
On the other hand, this song, “Yurayura,” is perfect for those moments when a somber ballad doesn’t feel right either.
Written and composed by Masaki Suda, its lyrics—said to capture everyday trifles and scenes that caught his eye—feel relatable.
It’s also appealing in that you can sing it gently without forcing your voice, and its approachable, naturally unspooling delivery should make it easy to sing.
threadMasaki Suda × Huwie Ishizaki
Ito, a collaboration between Masaki Suda and Huwie Ishizaki.
This song was chosen as the ending theme for the film of the same name and is one of Miyuki Nakajima’s signature pieces that deeply moves listeners.
In particular, Suda’s masculine vocals—ranging from rich mid-lows to beautiful highs—and Ishizaki’s gentle, warm voice amplify the song’s emotional impact.
With its simple melody, it’s easy to sing and approachable for karaoke.
Although originally performed by a woman, the vocal range isn’t very high, making it comfortable for both men and women to sing.
Things I like about youKana Nishino
The 28th single, “Anata no Suki na Tokoro” (The Things I Like About You), was used as the commercial song for Otsuka Foods’ vitamin soda MATCH.
The arrangement opens with a memorable piano tone, gently complementing lyrics that portray a steadfast love for both the good and bad sides of a partner.
There are a few rapid-fire phrases here and there, but because the melody is simple, you should be able to sing it well as long as you mind the tempo.
The vocal range isn’t wide either, so even if the original key doesn’t suit you, adjusting it should make the song easy to sing.
It’s a highly recommended pick for karaoke.
