Message of RougeYumi Matsutoya43rank/position
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.
Top Of The WorldCarpenters44rank/position
The Carpenters’ classic “Top Of The World” is memorable for its light, upbeat melody.
While the Carpenters are known as a pop duo, this song strongly reflects country music characteristics.
A key point of this piece lies in the English.
The vocal line has a narrow range and doesn’t require much dynamic variation, so it’s easy to sing.
However, among the Carpenters’ songs, the BPM here is relatively fast, which can make the English lyrics feel a bit crowded.
If you’re not confident in English, try linking the vowel of the previous word to the consonant of the next—for example, sing “Top of the world” more like “Topov th’ worl(d)”—to help it flow more naturally.
Cactus Flower ~From Under the Same Roof~Kazuo Zaitsu45rank/position
Saboten no Hana, a classic song by Tulip released in 1975, was rearranged as Kazuo Zaitsu’s solo piece Saboten no Hana ~From Under One Roof~.
It became well-known as the theme song for Fuji TV’s hugely popular drama Under One Roof.
Red Sweet PeaSeiko Matsuda46rank/position
This is one of Seiko Matsuda’s signature songs, portraying a sweet and bittersweet first love.
Released in 1982, the song beautifully blends Takashi Matsumoto’s lyrics with Yumi Matsutoya’s composition.
The lyrics capture the pure feelings of a young woman in love, and Seiko’s clear, soaring vocals combine to create a timeless classic that resonates with many listeners.
Upon release, it became an instant hit, reaching No.
3 on the year-end singles chart.
Since then, it has remained a karaoke staple.
Evoking the arrival of spring, this song is perfect for reminiscing about youthful days with friends at karaoke.
Why not sing it and let the gentle melody bring back the feelings from back then?
Wandering Love SongTsuyoshi Nagabuchi47rank/position
Released after his 1978 re-debut, “Junrenka,” his second single overall and still a staple at live shows, is a timeless classic.
The blues harp’s wistful tone and sentimental lyrics evoke the charm of old-school folk songs.
The overall tempo is relaxed—including the surging melody in the chorus—and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it approachable even for those who don’t feel confident singing.
If possible, try channeling Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s current vibe; it’s sure to hype up the karaoke room.
teacherMasako Mori48rank/position
Although it was Masako Mori’s debut single, “Sensei” is also known as one of her signature songs.
Its nostalgic, simple melody that evokes the mood of Showa-era pop, along with lyrics about a tender, secret crush on a teacher from a young girl’s perspective, leave a strong impression.
The tempo is easy to follow, making it a great recommendation for seniors to sing at karaoke! If you include this song in a day-service karaoke activity, you could spice it up with hand clapping to build excitement and add call-and-response parts in the chorus.
North TavernTakashi Hosokawa49rank/position
Set in a northern country tavern, this heartwarming enka classic captures the very moment a romance begins.
It richly portrays everything from the fateful encounter in a bar district to the deepening of their relationship.
Takashi Hosokawa’s powerful yet delicate vocals brilliantly convey the thrill of a man whose heart leaps at a chance meeting in a tavern.
After its release in March 1982, the song became a huge hit when it was performed on the TV show “Kin-chan no Doko Made Yaru no?” That same year, it won the 24th Japan Record Award and was also performed on the 33rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Blending a light, poppy melody with the emotive depth characteristic of enka in perfect balance, this piece is ideal for singing at a relaxed pace while soaking in the tavern’s atmosphere.
Why not try it as the perfect finale to a fun night out with friends?
