Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!
Music producer, composer, vocal coach, keyboard playerKei Takahata
From around 1995 to 2000, I built experience with a major label as a composer and producer. I then moved to the United States and studied voice and singing under Elizabeth Sabine, one of Los Angeles’s top vocal coaches, mastering the so-called Hollywood vocal technique advocated by Sabine. After returning to Japan, I have been involved in training and producing a variety of singers. My direction, which brings out the full appeal of both the music and the vocalist, is highly regarded. In the collaboration video with Vo. ryuichi of the band Guild below, I handled keyboards, vocal direction, and sound production.

We’ve focused on songs with melodies that seem easy to sing, and some articles include tips on how to sing them well.

Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (91–100)

Sailor Suit and Machine GunHiroko Yakushimaru

Sailor Fukuto Kikanju (Original Version)

Sailor Suit and Machine Gun Yakushimaru Hiroko

This was Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single and the theme song for the film of the same name, in which she also starred.

There’s also a different song with the same title, Yume no Tochū, performed by its composer, Takao Kisugi.

It was released in November 1981.

If you’re in your 60s now, many of you probably saw the movie when it first came out.

Yakushimaru’s vocals here are, for better or worse, very “model-student-like,” and even listeners who aren’t confident singers may find it feels quite easy to sing.

If you sing it too breezily, though, there’s a risk it can come off a bit flat, so pay attention to contrast and dynamics in the chorus.

As mentioned, the song itself isn’t particularly difficult, so give it a try!
