Prelude of LoveCarpenters

carpenters -We’ve Only Just Begun

A superb work with lyrics and music by the Paul Williams/Roger Nichols duo, highlighted by Richard Carpenter’s arrangement and Karen Carpenter’s excellent vocals.

On top of that, the person who came up with the Japanese title showed real flair.

It’s said to be the most quintessentially Carpenters.

Rich GirlDaryl Hall & John Oates

Daryl Hall & John Oates – Rich Girl (Official Audio)

A landmark single released in 1977 by H&O, standard-bearers of blue-eyed soul, which became their first U.

S.

No.

1.

This kicked off their rapid ascent, leading to an explosion in popularity in the 1980s.

In just under two and a half minutes, soul-pop is distilled with no excess, making it one of their most singable songs for anyone.

BecauseDave Clark Five

Because [With Japanese Translation] The Dave Clark Five

A classic song by the 1960s British rock band DC5, with a melody line that appeals to Japanese tastes and remains memorable for fans even today.

The Lettermen also covered it, but if you’re singing as a group, this version—with its solid drum rhythm—makes harmonizing easier.

Amazing GraceHayley Westenra

Hayley Westenra – Amazing Grace

A super-famous hymn that everyone knows and needs no explanation.

Countless singers have performed it, but listening to it in Hayley’s clear, beautiful voice enhances the song’s appeal even more and inspires a deeper sense of reverence.

It’s a wonderful piece even when sung a cappella.

A love where we gaze into each other’s eyesHerman’s Hermits

Staring Love [with Japanese Translation] — Herman's Hermits

The lead single from the British band Herman’s Hermits’ third album, who were active in the 1960s.

At one point, they were rising fast enough to rival the Beatles.

The song had a resurgence with the Carpenters’ cover.

If you want to sing it loosely and casually, the original version is recommended.

Peter Noone’s vocals are refreshing.

Light and Shadow of YouthJudy Collins

Both Sides Now

This song, written and composed by Joni Mitchell, became a hit when it was sung by the folk singer Judy Collins, who discovered Joni.

It was later included on Joni’s own album, and its lyrics are considered philosophical; it has since become one of her signature songs.

Joni’s version is set a bit lower and at a slower tempo, so Judy’s version might feel lighter and easier to sing.

Let’s PretendRaspberries

Raspberries, “Let’s Pretend”

A signature song by the Raspberries, the band led in the early 1970s by Eric Carmen, a musical prodigy who had attracted attention since childhood during his idol years.

Many women must have let out excited screams at his sweet, melting vocals.

It’s a mellow track that’s also perfect for a female singer.
