Hit songs like “Morainaki” and “Hanamizuki” made Yo Hitoto, a Taiwan-born singer, widely known.
Her second single “Dai Dai,” which sings about her feelings for and memories of her late father, is a memorable number with an oriental melody and nostalgic sound.
The fact that the lyrics are sung in Chinese toward the end also conveys the depth of Hitoto’s feelings.
The relaxed beat makes it easy to sing, but because the song spans a wide vocal range and includes melodic leaps, be careful not to go off pitch when singing it at karaoke.

If you’re someone who often goes to karaoke, you’re probably familiar with Yo Hitoto.
The song she sings, “Tanin no Kankei,” has a distinctly retro vibe.
That’s no surprise, since it’s actually a cover—Katsuko Kanai originally released it in 1973.
Packed with the atmosphere of Showa-era kayōkyoku, it’s a song that would likely get a great reaction even when performed in front of an older crowd.
