Yutaka Ozaki - Fifteen's Night (with lyrics)

This is the debut single by Yutaka Ozaki, released in 1983 alongside the album “Seventeen’s Map.” It portrays the rebellious spirit and pursuit of freedom felt by a 15-year-old boy, and has long been loved as a song that speaks for the feelings of young people.

The structure, which builds gradually from a quiet, piano-centered atmosphere toward the chorus, evokes a rising swell of emotion.

The relatively low pitch and steady, unbroken lyrical tempo make it easy to sing, and the key is how you pour emotion into it.

“Nada Sousou,” meaning “tears welling up and falling,” is a masterpiece with lyrics by Ryoko Moriyama and music by BEGIN.

Ryoko Moriyama is said to have written the lyrics in memory of her older brother, who passed away young.

Message of RougeYumi Matsutoya38rank/position

Yumi Matsutoya – Rouge no Dengon (Yumi Matsutoya Concert Tour The Universe Library 2016-2017)

Rouge no Dengon, a famous song by Yumi Arai released in 1975, is a work that embodies the cheerful vibe of 1970s Japanese pop music, maintaining a bright and gentle tone throughout.

The vocal range is typical of Japanese pop, with a lowest note of mid1 G and a highest note of hi C.

Since the hi C appears twice in the chorus, if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key with this section in mind.

It’s a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
