Miyuki Nakajima’s classic “Revival,” released in 1979, features a hauntingly melancholic melody that’s quintessentially her.

It’s also an easy song to sing.

True to many older works, the vocal line uses relatively few notes, making the phrasing smooth and the delivery comfortable.

The vocal range is narrow as well, so it’s a good choice even for middle-aged singers who may find high notes challenging.

Its melody and lyrics suit male voices too, which adds to its singability.

The song “Pierrot” portrays a poignant man who tries to make a move on a woman who has just broken up with her lover, yet she never quite turns to face him.

Released in 1979, it features a memorable, wistful melody reminiscent of Showa-era mood kayō.

Because the song stays in a low register throughout, it’s relatively easy to sing even for those who can’t hit high notes.

However, some women may find it too low; in that case, raise the key to match your vocal range.

At Home

This is a work by Miyuki Nakajima that portrays the resolve to sever ties with the place one ought to return to and to live in the place one stands now.

Watching the last train bound for her hometown depart, the protagonist deliberately chooses not to go back—an image that overlaps with the loneliness and determination of someone breaking away from their past life to walk a new path alone.

The piece was included on the acclaimed 1977 June release “A-RI-GA-TO-U” and is also widely known as the B-side to the smash single “Wakare Uta.” It has been cherished as a song that colors the world of dramas crafted by So Kuramoto as well.

The warm folk sound seems to gently envelop both the loneliness that follows a major decision and the strength to keep looking forward despite it.

Released in 2009 as the 41st single, this song showcases Miyuki Nakajima’s straightforward and powerful vocals that are truly overwhelming.

It’s a song that seems to encourage those in tough situations, and I think singing it will fill you with energy.

It has been raining since long ago.

Starting from the commonplace scene of falling rain, the lyrics expand into a grand worldview that feels almost fused with nature—an unforgettable, moving hidden gem.

“Rain Has Been Falling Since Long Ago” is the B-side of the 40th single “Ichigo Ichie,” released in 2007, and it was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Sekai Ururun Taizaiki ‘Renaissance,’” so some of you may remember it.

It’s a laid-back J-pop tune with an easy-to-remember melody and a vocal range manageable even for male singers, making it easy to sing.

The soaring chorus in the latter half features a characteristically Nakajima-esque melody line with a slightly offbeat phrasing, which might take a bit of practice.

Listen repeatedly and sing along until you can pick up on Nakajima’s distinctive nuances!
