Its lyrics, which convey compassion and courage, and its up-tempo yet warmly embracing melody resonate deeply.
Released in January 1993, it was chosen the following year as the entrance march for the Spring High School Baseball Tournament, and it has been broadcast annually on Nippon TV’s “24-Hour Television.” This track is a go-to favorite for livening up karaoke with friends.

There’s even an anecdote that it was treated as a children’s song until a commodity tax was imposed in 1986.
Among Showa-era anime songs, it remains especially popular and is a karaoke staple.

Among his many great songs, the one I especially recommend for being easy to sing and guaranteed to get the crowd going is Den-en.
Although its vocal range is very narrow—mid1D to mid2E—it still has well-crafted points of excitement, making it a song with an outstanding balance of singability and energy.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

FriendsRebecca21rank/position
People in their early 60s could be said to be the generation that lived right through the heart of the second band boom.
Among the bands that led that boom, Rebecca is likely a group many feel a deep attachment to.
Their song Friends is one of Rebecca’s best-known classics.
The vocal range is a typical mid2B to hiC, but because the highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, be sure to adjust the key so you can maintain sufficient volume.
Since it’s a famous song from the very intro, if you want to liven up a karaoke session, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
