Wine Red HeartSafe zone1rank/position

Anzen Chitai - Wine Red no Kokoro (Wine-Red Heart)

With lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Koji Tamaki, this is one of Anzenchitai’s signature songs.

Many people born in the early Heisei era or the Showa era have probably sung it.

Since it’s sung in a generally calm tone and range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

There are a few spots where the melody rises.

Belting those parts can sound cool, and singing in a composed tone like Tamaki does also gives it a tasteful charm.

From the high point of the chorus to where the melody drops slightly, the pitch can be tricky, so it may help to focus on the lower notes and sing them carefully.

It’s a recommended song when you want to deliver a gentle, heartfelt performance.

Kanashimini Sayonara

Anzen Chitai is a band that has built an era with a uniquely Japanese sound brimming with originality, fusing kayōkyoku, pop music, and rock.

They have so many hit songs that whatever you sing will likely get the crowd going, but this time I’d like to introduce “Kanashimi ni Sayonara,” which is especially easy to sing among their repertoire.

This work is a major-key ballad that, despite its sorrowful lyrics, somehow retains a refreshing tone.

The vocal range is quite narrow at mid1B to mid2F#, so if you adjust it to your optimal key, you should be able to sing it without difficulty.

Nesshisen

An unforgettable song by Anzenchitai that captures the emotions of a man and woman consumed by passionate love.

It’s an adult love song that also brings back the bittersweet feelings of youth—a true gem.

Released in January 1985 as their eighth single, it gained attention as the theme for the Autorama High-Sensitivity Laser commercial.

The song became a major hit, peaking at No.

2 on the Oricon Singles Chart and selling a total of 324,000 copies.

Koji Tamaki’s rich, velvety vocals overflow with passion and poignancy, brilliantly expressing the feelings of someone whose hidden love can no longer be contained.

It’s also recommended as a heartwarming message song to give to someone dear who is struggling with love.

Harmony at Summer’s End — Yosui Inoue / Anzenchitai

A collaboration between Yosui Inoue and Anzenchitai, released in 1986 when those now in their 50s were in the midst of their youth.

It’s a gem of a medium-tempo ballad that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a late-summer romance.

Inoue’s flavorful lyrics and Tamaki’s emotionally rich melody are a perfect match, and their wistful vocals intertwine to create a special sense of poignancy.

The song was first performed at a joint concert held at Jingu Stadium in August 1986 and was released as a single the following month.

It depicts a final moment shared by two people facing a farewell, with their past days sung as cherished memories.

For those in their 50s, it may be the perfect song for a long autumn night, to be listened to alongside memories of their youth.

Koino Yokan

The classic hit by Anzen Chitai, “Koi no Yokan.” While the lyrics are heartrending, the melody itself exudes a very seductive allure, and the song is considered indispensable when discussing 1980s pop ballads.

Although the piece features many low notes, the vocal line is fundamentally easy to sing.

In the last part of the chorus, the pitch suddenly jumps up on the word “kakenukeru,” and if you find that part difficult, try pronouncing it as “kuu-kye-nukeru.” It’s a simple tweak, but just changing the pronunciation can improve your vocal production, so I recommend it.

Eris with Azure EyesSafe zone6rank/position

Aoi Hitomino Eris

The band Anzen Chitai has produced numerous hit numbers.

From ballads to rock-flavored pop, they’ve turned all kinds of works into popular songs.

The one I’d like to recommend this time is Aoi Hitomi no Erisu (Eris with Azure Eyes).

It’s a gentle ballad, yet it also has well-placed moments of lift.

Rather than a big, explosive build, it’s the kind of song that gives you chills and goosebumps.

Its vocal range is quite narrow at mid1 C to mid2 D#, and the melodic movement is smooth, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

Yosui Inoue & Anzenchitai - Harmony at the End of Summer

This is a collaboration song by singer-songwriter Yosui Inoue and the rock band Anzen Chitai.

The lyrics were written by Yosui Inoue, and the composition was done by Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai.

Centered around a gentle, piano-led sound, the arrangement gradually unfolds into something grand and moving.

The lyrics, which cherish the memories the two build together, convey their feelings about the collaboration while also delivering a universal message.

The layering of their distinctive voices and the powerful harmonies are striking, making the mutual respect for each other’s vocals a key highlight of the track.
