Masterpieces with Titles Starting with “Ru” (101–110)
RubyKaiser Chiefs
A track released in 2007 by the British indie rock band Kaiser Chiefs.
It became a hit around the world and was certified Platinum in the UK.
The track was used in the TV drama ‘Demons’ and by the restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday.
LOOKING FOR A RAINBOWLINDBERG
It sings that the rainbow we saw long ago with my childhood friend is a hope for life.
At first I thought this childhood friend was a boy, but in the end it makes you feel she is a girl.
The messages from the teacher and friends telling me to stay away convey the childhood friend’s loneliness keenly.
Above all, the phrase that they were hurt more than others because they hated “lies” is a sad one.
ROUTE 246LINDBERG
The debut single “ROUTE 246,” released simultaneously with the first album LINDBERG I.
The contrast between the edgy, bridge-muted guitar sound and the cool melody is striking.
Since the melody doesn’t move much and often sits in the lower range, it’s relatively easy to sing, but be careful not to get complacent—the leaps in the chorus can make it easy to miss the notes.
It’s a straightforward rock tune that I’d especially like those of that generation to try at karaoke.
Root SphereLast Note.
This is a Vocaloid song I especially want students who are right in the middle of their youth to hear.
It’s a work by Last Note.
, also known for signature songs like “Setsuna Trip” and “Love Hero,” released in 2012.
The lively sound feels like a refreshing breeze blowing through.
GUMI’s bright, clear vocals are wonderful as well.
The lyrics carry a positive message: believe in yourself and keep moving forward.
When you’re feeling down or anxious, listening to it might give you a boost.
RumorsLindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan, once a child star and fashion icon.
These days, she mostly makes headlines in gossip magazines and online for things she says and does in her private life.
In 2004, at the height of her popularity, she also debuted as a singer with this song.
Although critics panned it, it became quite a hit.
ROOMMY FIRST STORY
A track included on their third album, “Kyo-gen NEUROSE.” It’s a cool song where the guitar and drums kick in after a quiet intro, and the transition from whispery vocals to shouts is awesome.
The lyrics are also something many people can relate to, so I highly recommend it.
ROUTE 66Nat King Cole
Here’s a fun song with lyrics that feel like a travel guide, celebrating a journey along U.
S.
Route 66.
Written by Bobby Troup in 1946, this song is performed in a variety of styles—not just jazz, but also boogie-woogie and rock.
Since the chord progression is a simple, easy-to-understand blues form, it should be relatively easy to pick up by ear.
The lyrics include many place names, which might seem challenging at first, but if you start by slowly reading through the lyrics, you’ll be able to sing it in no time.
