Marilyn in 1986Minako Honda62rank/position
Minako Honda was an idol singer who gained popularity from the late 1980s to the early 1990s thanks to her strong vocal ability and powerful singing style.
I believe she was especially popular among people in their 60s as a leading example of an idol with outstanding singing skills.
“Marilyn in 1986” is her biggest hit.
While the track is notable for its danceable synths, the vocal line leans strongly toward kayōkyoku (traditional Japanese pop), and the range—mid1F to hiF—is not particularly wide, giving it a light, effortless feel when sung.
It’s easy to sing yet still delivers plenty of excitement, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
atonementTeresa Teng63rank/position
Depicting a heartrending farewell between a man and a woman, this piece can be considered Teresa Teng’s re-debut song in Japan.
Released in January 1984, it became a massive hit, selling over 1.
5 million copies.
Set in a room where the western sun streams through the window, it conveys a woman’s loneliness as she reminisces about a past love, along with a faint wish for the one she’s parting from.
Its simple, singable melody gains even greater depth when performed with emotion.
Whether at a gathering with friends or during a solo relaxation moment, it’s a superb choice.
Why not add it to your repertoire for your next karaoke session?
