[Official] Noriyuki Makihara “No Matter What” (Music Video) [3rd Single] (1991) Noriyuki Makihara/donnatokimo [No. 1]

A signature work by Noriyuki Makihara that delivers a universal message of living true to yourself, carried by a powerful yet gentle melody.

While acknowledging the doubts and anxieties of life, this classic is imbued with a strong resolve to cherish your true self.

Included on the album “Who Do You Share a Happy Yawn With?”, it became a massive hit, surpassing one million copies within six months of its June 1991 release.

It was also selected as the entrance march for the 64th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in spring 1992.

The melody, featuring a distinctive acoustic guitar and a calm tempo, makes it easy to sing.

For many people, it’s a song that resonates in the heart when standing at a crossroads or when they feel on the verge of losing themselves.

DREAMS COME TRUE – Future Prediction Map II ~VERSION '07~ (from Live from DWL 2015 Live Ver.)

Many of you may have been captivated by DREAMS COME TRUE’s songs during your youth.

This ballad, which depicts the future of a couple in love, was included on the album “LOVE GOES ON…” released in November 1989.

Miwa Yoshida’s warm vocals and the gentle melody resonate deeply in the heart.

Created as the second entry in the “Mirai Yosouzu” series, this song has been cherished by many for years.

It was also featured in a SONY Handycam commercial.

When you feel like looking back on memories with someone special, be sure to sing it.

Ruby No Yubiwa

Mr.

Akira Terao, who has left behind numerous masterpieces as a renowned actor.

For those in their 60s, his image as a singer may be even stronger than his image as an actor.

Many were likely surprised that he wasn’t just a one-hit wonder, but kept releasing hits with an unwavering, cool musical style.

Ruby no Yubiwa is his biggest hit.

While the lowest note drops to a very low low G, there are solid moments of lift within its cool, understated mood—such as a key change toward the end.

Despite the modulation, the piece has a narrow vocal range, so you might even try raising the key on purpose and experimenting with a more powerful delivery different from the original.

365 Days' Paper AirplaneAKB4819rank/position

Paper Airplane of 365 Days / AKB48 “365 Nichi no Kamihikōki” Theme song of “Asa ga Kita”

Although it’s also an idol group, I think the songs are easy to sing.

Let’s layer our own voices and enjoy the melody.

They used to be played often on TV and elsewhere.

Now I feel they’re really well-crafted songs.

I thought the remarkable thing is that they can be enjoyed across generations.

Wine Red HeartSafe zone20rank/position

Wine Red No Kokoro

This song is the fourth single by Anzen Chitai and was released in 1983.

It was used as a theme song for an alcohol commercial and as the ending theme of a TV drama, so many people may have sung it at karaoke back then.

The difficulty might be a bit high, but it’s a timeless classic that has been covered by various artists.

the first strong spring windCandies21rank/position

Spring Storm - Candies

As a song that heralds the arrival of spring to the heart, you hear it in various places whenever the seasons change.

This track by Candies was released in March 1976 and became a major hit, ranking 21st on the Oricon year-end chart.

By the time of their farewell concert, it had sold a total of 490,000 copies.

Its charm lies in a melody that enhances a positive mood along with a refreshing sense of the season, and the catchy chorus—hinting at the start of a new romance—rekindles excitement no matter when you listen.

When you feel like welcoming spring, why not try singing it at karaoke?
