Let It BeThe Beatles15rank/position

Let It Be (Remastered 2009)

The title track “Let It Be” from their 13th album, which also served as the soundtrack to a documentary film of the same name.

Its memorable piano-driven chord progression has had a profound influence on musicians worldwide, and in Japan it’s one of those universally recognized signature songs you often hear in many places.

With many repeated pitches in the melody and a relaxed tempo, it’s approachable not only for newcomers to Western music but also for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

As a song everyone knows, it’s sure to draw attention at karaoke—an imperishable classic.

It is a beautiful love song by the American all-female band The Bangles.

The lyrics, which express true love and its enduring nature, are sure to resonate with many people.

The song was included on the 1989 album “Everything” and achieved great success, topping the charts in multiple countries.

Celebrating a love that burns forever, this track is perfect for moments when you want to feel the bond with someone special, such as weddings or anniversaries.

With its gentle melody and singable range, it’s also a great choice for karaoke.

Think of the one you love and sing it with all your heart.

Billy Joel – Honesty (Official Video)

The third cut single from the album “52nd Street.” A beautiful, melancholic piano melody paired with serious lyrics.

When you’re struggling with relationships, feeling betrayed, or losing faith in people, listening to this song is deeply relatable—a masterpiece that penetrates to the depths of the soul.

The Bangles – Manic Monday (Official Video)

Their first hit song from the American all-girl rock band the Bangles’ second album features Susanna’s cute, slightly wild-sounding vocals that leave a strong impression.

It’s well known that PRINCE wrote it under the pen name “Christopher,” but any PRINCE fan would recognize it as “PRINCE” the moment they hear the melody—even with a different pen name—since it’s essentially an arrangement of the classic 1999.

By the way, at the time, band member Michael Steele (guitar, bass) was a former member of The Runaways, the group that gained popularity in Japan, where Cherie Currie once stunned audiences by taking the stage in underwear.

Prelude of LoveCarpenters19rank/position

carpenters -We’ve Only Just Begun

A superb work with lyrics and music by the Paul Williams/Roger Nichols duo, highlighted by Richard Carpenter’s arrangement and Karen Carpenter’s excellent vocals.

On top of that, the person who came up with the Japanese title showed real flair.

It’s said to be the most quintessentially Carpenters.

California Dreamin’The Mamas & The Papas20rank/position

The Mamas & the Papas – California Dreamin’

A representative song by the folk group The Mamas & the Papas, active in the 1960s, whose introduction alone will make many people think, “How nostalgic!” Listening again now, the slightly wistful melody line and lyrics make it feel as though this song—which should also be a flagship of the peace movement they championed at the time—was already foreseeing the flower movement, bordering on illusion, and the hippie culture sliding into decadence; it’s melancholy.

Because the parts are easy to divide, I’d like to sing it while playing the tambourine, filled with a sense of nostalgia.

SuperstarCarpenters21rank/position

Carpenters – Superstar

Speaking of the Carpenters, their music is known for its gentle, uplifting feel, but some of their songs exude a certain sensuality.

Among those, the one I especially recommend is “Superstar.” While the chorus is set in a major key, the other sections are in a minor key, resulting in a sexy melody imbued with wistfulness throughout.

As for the vocal line, it uses a scale found in Japanese kayōkyoku (popular songs), making it one of the easiest Carpenters’ songs to sing.
