DEEN “I Want to Steal You Away Just Like This <Kiseki Version>”

DEEN’s debut single is a love song that portrays lingering feelings for a former lover and a yearning to reunite.

Through imagery such as quiet cityscapes and a nostalgic umbrella in the rain, it expresses the protagonist’s loneliness and solitude.

In the chorus, the fervent wish to “take you away” is repeated, infusing the song with a passionate emotion that resonates with many listeners.

Released in March 1993, it was featured in an NTT DoCoMo pager commercial.

The single reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a major hit with total sales of approximately 1.

293 million copies.

It’s also recommended for those who want to sing an emotional ballad or practice mixed voice.

Why not enjoy belting out this high-tone song at karaoke?

GO!!!FLOW79rank/position

FLOW “GO!!!” Music Video (TV Anime “NARUTO” Opening Theme)

FLOW is a five-member rock band that gained popularity in the 2000s.

Their bright and exhilarating musical style is striking, and GO!!! showcases the appeal of FLOW particularly well.

The song was used as the fourth opening theme for the popular anime NARUTO and became a hit.

Although it’s uptempo, the vocal range is relatively narrow—mid1 G# to mid2 G#—so it’s easy to sing.

It’s a big crowd-pleaser among Naruto fans, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

KinKi Kids “Garasu no Shōnen” Music Video

KinKi Kids’ classic hit “Glass no Shōnen.” The song was composed by singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, and if you listen closely, you can definitely hear his signature style in places.

The track is notable for its soaring vocals, but the range is fairly narrow—mid1 E to mid2 G—so as long as you set the key appropriately, it’s easy to sing for both men and women.

The melody has a somewhat retro Showa-era feel, so if you’ve mastered vibrato, it will significantly elevate the quality of your performance.

BoyhoodYosui Inoue81rank/position

Boys' Time / Yosui Inoue (with lyrics)

This song is wrapped in a nostalgic, gentle melody.

Together with Yosui Inoue’s characteristically tender vocals, it brings back memories of a pure and innocent childhood.

It might even spark lively conversations about cherished childhood memories.

Released in September 1990, the song drew major attention as the theme for the Toho film of the same name.

In 1991, it was used in a commercial for Sony’s “Handycam 105,” reaching No.

4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It is also included on the album Handsome Boy and has been loved by many for years.

It’s a great choice for music recreation with seniors, offering an approachable tune that anyone can hum along to.

RobinsonSpitz82rank/position

Spitz / Robinson

A classic Spitz song distinguished by its translucent melody and Masamune Kusano’s gentle vocals.

The lyrics beautifully express the wistfulness felt with the arrival of a new season, a pure desire to cherish a special world shared by just two people, and a longing to suddenly break free from the everyday and soar into a boundless universe.

Released in April 1995 as Spitz’s 11th single, the track was also included on the album Honey that same year.

It colored everyday life as an insert song for the Fuji TV drama Hakusen Nagashi and as the theme for Kirin Beverage’s Afternoon Tea commercials.

Sing it at karaoke with someone special and the tender mood will surely bring you closer.

It’s also perfect for a drive or for nights when you want to sink into a slightly bittersweet feeling.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE83rank/position

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Bitter Vacation” Official Music Video

When it comes to Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs, many people probably think of melodies with a wide vocal range backed by vocalist Motoki Omori’s overwhelming singing ability, and may have given up on trying them at karaoke because they seem difficult.

For those people, I recommend the song Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024.

Among Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s tracks, its melody line is relatively low in pitch and not overly complex, making it the kind of song you can sing comfortably along to its lively rhythm.

There are moments where a touch of irregular meter slips in, but once you get used to it, it’s not that hard—so be sure to add it to your karaoke repertoire.

I love youYutaka Ozaki84rank/position

Yutaka Ozaki 'I Love You' [Lyric Video]

This is a masterpiece that resonates in many hearts as a pinnacle of bittersweet love songs.

Included on the debut album “Seventeen’s Map” and released as a single in 1991, it poignantly sings of a forbidden love between a young man and woman.

The piano ballad that Yutaka Ozaki crafted at the age of seventeen continues to captivate listeners.

Numerous artists, including Hikaru Utada and Koji Tamaki, have covered the song, and it has been featured as the image song for the film “Hot Road” as well as in JR Tokai’s “Fight! Express” commercials.

It’s a perfect track for spending a quiet moment immersed in music and reminiscing.

How about a heartwarming karaoke time accompanied by its gentle melody?
