[Karaoke] Recommended easy-to-sing songs by Kazuyoshi Saito (1–10)
tremoloKazuyoshi Saito
If you want to make a moist, mature ballad your own, this is the song for you.
Tremolo is a track from the twelfth album, I ♥ ME, released in 2007.
It’s a heartfelt love song that pairs gently swaying guitar sounds with Saito’s tender vocals, drawing you in with its clear, transparent atmosphere.
As it’s a ballad, the melody is, of course, on the relaxed side.
You should be able to sing it calmly while seated.
The Land of ‘Good Job’ (Otsukaresama)Kazuyoshi Saito
In the midst of our busy social lives with work and more, “Otsukaresama desu” has become a phrase we say almost without thinking.
This gently moving message song touches the hearts behind those words—please give it a listen.
Otsukaresama no Kuni was released in 2008 as the 35th single.
It was used in a commercial for Arinamin, so many of you may find it familiar.
The steadfast vocals and warm melody feel like they envelop your whole body.
I believe it’s a song that gives you the strength to face tomorrow.
Try singing it to cheer yourself up.
Red SunflowerKazuyoshi Saito
A bluesy sound arrangement and a weathered, forlorn vocal tone are a perfect match.
This is “Akai Himawari” (Red Sunflower), included on their eighth album, 35 STONES, released in 2002.
The lyrics, which seem to take a somewhat cynical look at a single woman, feel a bit downbeat, yet they also jolt you with glimpses of humanity and truth.
It’s precisely because of the languid vocal delivery that you end up perceiving the song that way, I suppose.
If you’re going to sing it, by all means try mimicking this singing style.

woundKazuyoshi Saito
A straightforward love song that sings to a woman who hides her emotional scars and puts on a brave face, saying, “I love that about you, too.” Released in 2015 as the single “Semete Ikōze!/Kizuguchi,” the track was used as the theme song for the drama “Konkatsu Deka.” Its rock ’n’ roll guitar sound meshes perfectly with Saito’s husky vocals, making it a feel-good listen.
With a relatively low vocal range and a leisurely melody, it’s easy to learn and easy to sing.
How about giving it a try at karaoke when your crush is around?
The Beatles I saw were inside the TV.Kazuyoshi Saito
It’s a message song that sings, with both irony and sincerity, about one’s feelings toward the era they live in—an honest, true-to-life piece.
“The Beatles I Saw Were on TV” is the debut single, released in 1993.
After appearing on the music audition program “Saturday My Family’s TV: Yuji Miyake’s Tenka Gomen ne!”, Saito won the right to make a major-label debut, and this was the track that came out of it.
The song carries a bittersweet mood, yet somehow leaves you feeling refreshingly clear at the end.
It’s a male-vocal number, but I think it’s easy for women to sing as well.
The stars look beautiful in the sky.Kazuyoshi Saito
The popular song “Sora ni Hoshi ga Kirei” (The Stars Are Beautiful in the Sky), known from Myojo’s Charumera TV commercial and as an insert song in the 2016 drama Hibana, was released in 1996 as their 10th single.
Its lyrics offer the comforting presence of someone by your side when you’re feeling down after a failure or worrying over little things—and that worldview is truly wonderful.
The melody is calm, and the vocal range is on the lower side.
Try singing it while imagining a night sky with twinkling stars.
Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix)Kazuyoshi Saito
Included as the B-side on the 21st single “On the Other Side of the Moon,” released in 2001, is “Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix).” Its warm message—“Let’s paint just the way we want”—soothes both heart and body.
It has a charm that makes you want to close your eyes and listen.
Since the melody is basically a repetition of short phrases, you’ll probably be able to remember a good portion of it after a few listens.
