[Karaoke] Recommended easy-to-sing songs by Kazuyoshi Saito (1–10)
I'll walk home.Kazuyoshi Saito
Many of you might be reminded of your childhood when you hear it.
“Aruite Kaerou” was released in 1994 as the fourth single.
It was chosen as the theme song for the children’s program Ponkikkies and later became a hit.
Since then, it’s been used frequently in commercials and TV shows, so it’s known across a wide range of generations.
Listening to the cheerful vocals makes you want to hum along, doesn’t it? If you’re a woman, it should be quite easy to sing.
Over the SeasonKazuyoshi Saito
This song was featured as the CM tune for “Maruchan Akai Kitsune to Midori no Tanuki” in 2021 and was released as a digital single.
It’s a ballad that tenderly yet warmly portrays the changing seasons and the passage of time.
It’s perfect for when you want to sink into a nostalgic mood.
The expansive, richly layered sound arrangement is another highlight.
Since it isn’t a word-heavy piece, don’t rush—sing it while cherishing the meaning of each word.
SignalKazuyoshi Saito
Although it sings of lingering attachment to a finished romance and a farewell, the piece somehow feels refreshingly light.
“Signal” is a track from the 21st album, “55 STONES,” released in 2021.
The easy-on-the-ears band sound meshes beautifully with the lyrical world.
You can feel the sadness and loneliness, yet by the end it leaves you with a dry, clear aftertaste.
This holds true for many of Saito’s other songs as well, but since there are almost no parts that require belting, it’s very easy to sing.
Come for loveKazuyoshi Saito
This is a passionate love song that depicts the heart of a woman who lives for love.
“Come to Love,” included on the 12th album I ♥ ME released in 2007, is a mid-tempo track that was featured in UHA Mikakuto’s e-ma throat lozenges commercial.
Pairing the straightforward lyrics of “I want to see you” with an understated musical feel is very characteristic of Saito.
It’s great for karaoke, of course, and I think it’s also perfect for solo performances on guitar or piano.
Chianti's SongKazuyoshi Saito
This piece suddenly brings back memories from when I was little.
“Kanty no Uta” was originally the ending theme of the anime Andersen Monogatari, which aired starting in 1971, and Saito covered it.
It’s included on her 20th album, 202020, released in 2020.
Perhaps because of the soothing melody and vocal work, I naturally find myself reflecting on life, overwhelmed with emotion.
If we’re going to perform it, I’d like to sing as gently as possible to capture that atmosphere.
I like your face.Kazuyoshi Saito
I think quite a few people have had the experience of thinking, “I can’t put it into words, but I just really like this person.” The third single, ‘Kimi no Kao ga Suki da,’ released in 1994, was featured in heavy rotation on radio stations at the time and became a hot topic.
Because the lyrics are so straightforward and unadorned—single-minded, even—you can’t help but trust that the singer really means it.
Maybe being this direct actually feels more human and appealing.
How about trying it at karaoke with your partner?
Wedding SongKazuyoshi Saito
This is a heart-wrenching love song that became a hit after being featured as the theme for the wedding magazine Zexy’s TV commercial.
Released in 2007, “Wedding Song” is also known as a staple BGM choice for wedding ceremonies.
Saito sings it with great care, as if delivering it straight to the listener’s heart, and his vocals are truly moving.
The highest note is just slightly on the high side, but since the song is mainly composed in a lower range, it should be approachable even for those who aren’t confident with high notes.
