Over Flow(er)Noz.
It’s a heart-pounding message song created as the official theme for the “Hatsune Miku JAPAN LIVE TOUR 2025,” which will visit seven cities nationwide.
Composed by Vocaloid producer Noz.
, it was released in April 2025.
Miku’s clear, soaring vocals blend into the pop sound, resulting in a hopeful finish.
The lyrics, which speak of bonds with friends and hopes for the future, are truly wonderful.
It’s a heartwarming Vocaloid track we want to send to everyone living in the present!
MommyYoshimi Tendo
The song Okāchan is filled with respect for one’s mother.
Among Yoshimi Tendo’s songs, it’s known as one of the finest tearjerkers.
What makes this piece easy to sing is, above all, the minimal use of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns).
Although it’s classic enka, the occurrences of kobushi are very few, and most of the ones that do appear are relatively easy.
The range is somewhat wide, and the chorus includes sustained long tones on the “n” sound, so be sure to choose a key that suits your voice.
Osaka RainYoshimi Tendo
Speaking of Yoshimi Tendo, works set in her hometown of Osaka are popular, aren’t they? Among them, the song I especially recommend as easy to sing is “Osaka Rain.” This piece features an impressive Latin-influenced sound and is classified as kayōkyoku (Japanese pop).
As such, it doesn’t include the complex vibrato and ornamentation typical of enka.
While the vocal range isn’t particularly narrow, it’s not especially wide either, so you should be able to sing it comfortably if you choose the right key.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Osaka... dreams, hope, and loveYoshimi Tendo
Speaking of Yoshimi Tendo, in addition to her emotionally rich songs, her works themed around her hometown of Osaka are also popular.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “Osaka.
.
.
Dreams, Hopes, and Love.” This piece is pure pop, with a gentle yet bright vocal line that doesn’t have many dramatic shifts.
Its vocal range is quite narrow for a Yoshimi Tendo song, so anyone with basic singing skills should be able to perform it without difficulty.

A Love Game Between a Man and a WomanMika Hino / Shiro Aoi
Debuted in 1986 as a Takeda Pharmaceutical commercial song, performed as a duet by Tetsuya Takeda and Yoshimi Ashikawa.
Initially, only the chorus was created for advertising, but due to its overwhelming response, it took the unusual path of being released as a record—the song “Otoko to Onna no Love Game.” It later became widely known as a duet by Mika Hino and Shiro Aoi.
The song enjoys high popularity in karaoke and is considered a classic sung across generations.
