My dear best friendKohei Fukuda
This is a poignant masterpiece by Kohei Fukuda, whose searing guitar intro stirs the heart.
Released on January 1, 2024, “Dear Friend” is a coupling track to the single “Shonai Shigure-zake,” yet it still received a music video and drew attention as a rare kayōkyoku-style song in Fukuda’s discography.
While Fukuda’s overwhelming vocal prowess—honed through min’yō (traditional folk singing)—is fully on display here as well, he delivers a performance consciously tailored to the kayōkyoku genre, using almost no kobushi vocal ornamentation, making it one of the most singable songs in his catalog.
After taking in the lyrics, which passionately and warmly express feelings toward a close friend, be sure to give it your all at karaoke.
Silhouette RomanceJunko Ohashi
Junko Ohashi’s signature song, which depicts an urbane, sophisticated adult romance, captivates with an arrangement that incorporates jazz and fusion elements and lyrics that deftly express the delicate emotions of a woman dreaming of love.
Written and composed by Etsuko Kisugi and Takao Kisugi, it was released in November 1981.
With Hiroshi Suzuki’s arrangement, the piece achieves a distinctly moody atmosphere.
It won the Best Vocal Performance at the 24th Japan Record Awards and reached No.
7 on the Oricon weekly chart in 1982.
Beginning with a quiet piano, its graceful melody and pleasant rhythm underscore a sensual love story, making it a perfect song to enjoy in a relaxed setting.
spring sunlightKAF × Kujira
Gently depicting the scene of a graduation ceremony, this work is a warm piece like the fleeting light of spring.
The refreshing piano melody and KAFU’s translucent vocals beautifully capture both the bittersweetness and hope of the cherry blossom season, harmonizing wonderfully with Kujira’s delicate production.
Created in March 2022, it was released to coincide with KAFU’s milestone high school graduation and is also included on the album “Suite.” The lyrics accompany even the bright moments of parting, overflowing with a kindness like a pep song that gives you the courage to open a new door.
How about adding this fresh and warm track to a drive under the gentle spring sunlight?
Shantiwotaku
A distinctive track that fuses electroswing with Chinese-style sounds.
Since its release in September 2021, it has captured the hearts of many listeners.
Set against the underworld of Chinatown, the piece unfolds a dark story, with KAITO’s mature vocals skillfully conveying the emotions of a cold-blooded businessman.
It’s a song you can enjoy singing while savoring its mysterious atmosphere.
I think the vocal range is perfect for people with lower voices, especially men.
On the other hand, you might need to practice clear enunciation.

vermilion sandy beachMikito-P
The time spent with someone you love by the seaside at dusk.
.
.
a heartrending scene comes into view.
This piece, produced by MikitoP, was released in November 2013.
Its nostalgic charm lies in the soothing resonance of piano and guitar.
The lyrics weave a poignant yet beautiful story on a beach dyed red by the setting sun.
GUMI’s straightforward vocals and the lyrical melody line are truly wonderful.
Since it’s composed within a gentle vocal range, it can be sung with a calm, relaxed feel.
May happiness pass through (safely).Hiroko Hattori
When it comes to Hiroko Hattori, her emotionally rich vocals are particularly striking.
She certainly has many songs in that vein, but she also has some light, dance-like numbers.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Shiawase Tōryanse.
It’s a groovy kayōkyoku that uses off-beat accents, and the vocal line is crafted to be simple with little melodic rise and fall.
While there are moments of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns), none are difficult, making it one of the easiest songs to sing among her works.
I'm afraid to believe.Atsu Mizuno
A work that carefully depicts delicate emotions and resonates with younger generations.
Released by Atsu Mizuno in August 2021, this song is marked by a piano-centered, emotionally stirring soundscape.
The lyrics trace feelings shared by many living today—such as the difficulty of trusting oneself and others, and conversations with oneself amid loneliness.
When you want to gently bare your deep emotions, this piece feels just right.
