Ko Shibasaki – Something That Has Form

It seems to tell us that even if tangible things fade away, memories continue to shine forever in our hearts.

This is the sixth single by Kou Shibasaki, who is active both as an actress and a singer, and it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World,” which aired in 2004 and became a social phenomenon.

The song portrays the strength and poignancy of thinking of someone you can no longer meet, transforming even sorrow into love.

Her voice, combining clarity and power, melds with the sweeping strings, and together with the drama’s worldview, it really tugs at the heartstrings.

When you are grieving the loss of someone dear, it gently stays by your side and kindles a warm light in your heart.

Kou Shibasaki – Love’s First Journey

Ko Shibasaki has been highly active not only as an actress but also as an artist.

Many women in their 30s may have admired her as an icon.

Among her songs, one I especially recommend for aiming at a high score is Hito Koi Meguri.

While it has a distinctive melody, the pitch doesn’t fluctuate drastically, making it surprisingly smooth and easy to sing.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, so it doesn’t depend heavily on the singer’s voice type—another factor that makes it a strong choice for high scores.

CalendarKo Shibasaki7rank/position

Calender

When it comes to year-end karaoke, the real joy isn’t just singing—it’s getting together with friends and coworkers to excitedly look back on your memories.

That’s why I highly recommend singing Ko Shibasaki’s “Calendar.” As the title suggests, it’s a song crafted to reminisce from January through December.

While no one’s year will match the lyrics exactly, you’ll surely find moments that resonate with you.

You can also have fun by tweaking the lyrics to fit your friends’ experiences.
