Freckles – JUDY AND MARY (Full)

Known as one of JUDY AND MARY’s signature songs, this track was released in February 1996.

It was also used as the theme song for the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.

YUKI’s clear, soaring vocals and the catchy melody make a strong impression.

While depicting the complex feelings after a heartbreak, the lyrics still convey a positive outlook, which is part of their appeal.

It’s sure to be a hit at year-end and New Year parties’ karaoke! With a tempo that’s easy for all age groups to enjoy, it should be an easy pick for company gatherings as well.

Let’s all sing it out with energy and brighten the start of the new year!

Over Drive

A classic 90s high-energy rock number that’s still a karaoke favorite today.

Released as a single in June 1995, it became JUDY AND MARY’s first entry into the Oricon Top 10.

With the exhilarating feel of dashing under a summer blue sky and YUKI’s innocent, free-spirited vocals, it creates a world that instantly liberates the listener’s heart.

When the karaoke session starts to heat up, why not belt out those high notes and sing it with abandon?

4. Promenade JUDY AND MARY – Pop Life – 1998 – JAM

This is the 14th single by the four-member rock band JUDY AND MARY, chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “News no Onna.” Composed by drummer Kota Igarashi, its inclusion on their best-of album reaffirms the high level of compositional talent across all members.

The melody, woven with a cute vocal and full of wide leaps, makes you want to sing it at karaoke even though you know it’s difficult.

It’s an energy-boosting number that women in their 30s—the generation that grew up with it—will especially want to sing.

JUDY AND MARY LOVER SOUL

When winter comes, don’t you just feel like listening to or singing ballads? In times like that, I recommend JUDY AND MARY’s “LOVER SOUL.” The word “ballad” might sound a bit melancholic, but this one is a super sweet love song.

It’s perfect for romantic events like Christmas, too.

With its relaxed tempo, it wraps listeners in a warm, gentle mood.

Be sure to sing it all the way through to the outro, where a happy afterglow lingers!

It was released in 1995 as JUDY AND MARY’s sixth single.

The track was cut as a single from the album ORANGE SUNSHINE and served as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s program Rooms.

It was also used as an insert song in the film Shimotsuns (Simsons).

With lyrics written by YUKI and a not-so-high key, it’s an easy song to sing.

Formed in 1992, when it comes to JUDY AND MARY’s signature songs, many people might think of “Over Drive” or “Sobakasu.” Released in 1997, “Kujira 12-gō” is just as good as those hits, featuring YUKI’s poppy, powerful vocals that leave a strong impression.

The lyrics are sprinkled with words that evoke summer, like “spray” and “sun,” which is a nice touch.

With its exhilarating electric-guitar drive, it’s a perfect pick for a summer road trip playlist!

JUDY & MARY WARP TOUR FINAL ~part 10~ Lucky Pool

JUDY AND MARY, the rock band that disbanded in 2001 to much regret, left a lasting impact.

Their vocalist YUKI has continued to thrive as a solo artist and enjoys a charismatic following.

Lucky Pool, released in 2001 just before the band split, is a perfect summer track with its bursting pop rhythm.

The chorus, where YUKI’s high notes ring out so pleasantly, is sure to lift your spirits before you know it.

The band has plenty of other upbeat songs that suit the summer vibe as well, so why not give those a listen too?
