Suite: Winter ScenesGeorge Tokoro
You wouldn’t guess from the title that George Tokoro’s “Suite: Winter Scenes” is a comic song, would you? The track is included on his 1997 album “20th Anniversary Canniversary,” released to mark the 20th year of his career.
As the title suggests, it’s a song that evokes wintery scenes and landscapes, and you might expect it to be cute—but then you find yourself wanting to say, “Wait, you’re going to treat a snowman like that?” Despite the singing and melody not hinting at anything of the sort, that gap makes it a fun track.
Crucifix XAve Mujica

Among them, this piece stands out for its serious, hard-edged melodies.
Its vocal range is relatively narrow for this type of song, making it a good choice for women with lower voices to sing.
clockShima Shigeko & Hikari
Set to a gentle beat that symbolizes the passage of time, Shigeko Shima and Hikaru’s harmonies weave a gem-like love song.
With “light and shadow” as its theme—symbolizing the highs and lows of life—it spins feelings of courage and positivity to live in the present as time keeps moving.
It’s a duet with powerful song progression that still leaves a warm afterglow as the two artists’ personalities meld together.
Chosen as the theme song for the 2025 TV Asahi drama Kaseifu no Mitazono Season 7, this track is brimming with fresh appeal, blending a rock sensibility with elements of rap.
It’s the perfect song for a duet with someone special when you want to share mutual care and the courage to face forward.
From the suite 'Ma mère l’Oye': No. 1 Pavane of the Sleeping BeautyMaurice Ravel
An elegant piano duet inspired by the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.

The layered chords and richly colored sonorities produced by four hands offer a depth of musical experience unattainable in a solo performance.
Composed in 1908, it was later arranged for orchestra and ballet.
This piece is recommended for those who wish to leave a dazzling impression at recitals or concerts.

crimsonAyako Fuji
Released in 1996, Ayako Fuji’s single “Beni” (read ‘beni,’ not ‘kurenai’) opens with a line that makes your heart skip a beat.
It’s a classic enka number characteristic of Fuji—expressing the complexities of a woman’s heart with a supple, alluring voice—and a reassuring masterpiece for enka fans.
As a quintessential enka song, it doesn’t feature particularly tricky melodies, so anyone accustomed to singing enka should have no trouble performing it.
Be mindful of the contrast between the leisurely, expansive melodic lines and the more rhythmical sections where the lyrics are slightly packed in, and sing it without forcing yourself.
