Love Song Ballads (1–10)

A Bouquet for YouHikaru Utada

This song gives a beautiful, slightly ephemeral impression.

It was released in 2016 as a digital-only single and was later included on the album Fantome.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama Toto Nee-chan.

It’s a recommended track for those confident in their singing.

Sparkle, released in 2022 by Lila Ikuta—the vocalist of YOASOBI, a music duo immensely popular especially among younger generations—captures the loneliness and heartache that surface when days spent with a loved one come to an end.

With its slow tempo, it’s also a great pick for karaoke beginners.

Paired with her clear, translucent vocals, the song paints a bittersweet portrait of heartbreak.

Try delivering its emotional vocals over the classical, piano-driven melody.

Beetle aiko

Among singer-songwriter aiko’s songs, this is a supremely popular love ballad.

It’s a track that’s hugely loved by people of all genders.

With its slow tempo and soaring chorus, it has all the beauty you’d expect from a love ballad.

The melody is simply wonderful, and the song is widely known, so there are likely many men who want to hear it sung well.

If you can clearly switch between chest voice and falsetto where appropriate, you’ll be able to deliver an even more polished performance.

LOVE LOVE LOVENEW!DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – LOVE LOVE LOVE (from THE DREAM QUEST TOUR 2017 Live Ver.)
LOVE LOVE LOVENEW!DREAMS COME TRUE

LOVE LOVE LOVE, a famous song by DREAMS COME TRUE released in 1995.

If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

The song’s vocal range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which is relatively narrow for a DCT track.

The tempo is very relaxed, and the melodic movement is gentle, so as long as you’ve memorized the vocal line well, you’re unlikely to go off pitch.

However, because the slow tempo leads to more long notes, it’s advisable to master diaphragmatic breathing to maintain stable vocal production.

Let's Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~NEW!Yuki Koyanagi

[Official] Yuki Koyanagi “Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~” (Music Video) / Anatano Kiss wo Kazoemashou (1st Single)
Let's Count Your Kisses ~You Were Mine~ NEW! Yuki Koyanagi

This is the song Yuki Koyanagi debuted with in 1999, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.

Some of you might have listened to this track on repeat, right? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot tend to stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch! So don’t be afraid to give it a try.

The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the pitch jumps up quickly from the chorus into the C section, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.

The accompaniment is solid, so you should still be able to sing it coolly even if you lower the key.

Overall, there’s no need to belt—sing with a light touch, keeping a head-voice feel in mind, and give it a try.

A bouquet with love Superfly

How about delivering a soulful singing voice to a man? It’s one of the signature songs by the musical duo Superfly, released in 2008 as their fourth single.

It became a massive hit after being chosen as the theme song for the drama “Edison’s Mother.” It’s a very straightforward and passionate love song that expresses the desire to be together forever.

The song is quite difficult to sing, but perhaps that very challenge is what makes people want to hear it.

Incidentally, it’s also a popular choice as background music at weddings.

Song of SpringSakura Fujiwara

Sakura Fujiwara – “Spring Song” (short ver.)
Spring Song - Sakura Fujiwara

This is a cover of Spitz’s classic “Haru no Uta” by singer-songwriter Sakura Fujiwara, which also serves as the theme song for the live-action film March Comes in Like a Lion (Part 2), based on the shogi-themed manga.

Although the song features a bouncy, fun rhythm, her lower-register vocals give it a special charm.

Because it’s a cover of a Spitz song, even those who don’t know this version can sing along, and it’s easy for women to sing as well, making it a wonderfully reliable addition to any repertoire.
