A gentle lieRena Uehara
This is a farewell song that depicts the scene and emotions of parting, bound by a promise to stay together in the next life.
Told from the perspective of a girl who, while understanding the feelings that can’t be neatly resolved, accepts a gentle lie, the memories and emotions woven into the lyrics are ones anyone can relate to.
Lose weight! Charles the Pig IIISeiichi Nakamura
Featured on the 1980s children’s TV show “Hirake! Ponkikki,” this song is characterized by a bright, lighthearted style that incorporates elements of Charleston kayō (Charleston-influenced Japanese pop).
Its humorous lyrics depict a gluttonous little pig embarking on a diet, tickling children’s imaginations.
With rhythms that include touches of Dixieland jazz, it puts listeners in a cheerful mood.
Widely beloved by children at the time, it became an emblematic track of 1980s pop culture.
Conveying both the joy of eating and the importance of a healthy lifestyle through an adorable character, it’s a song recommended for parents and kids to enjoy together.
The Yanbo Marbo SongTakako Nakamori
A perfect example of brevity creating impact is “Yanboh Mahboh no Uta,” released in 1964.
This song was the theme for a TV program featuring the cute characters Yanboh and Mahboh, and it was extremely popular as a commercial jingle as well.
It’s short, but the melody sticks in your head, and the lyrics effectively convey the company’s image.
When you sing it, you can capture the audience’s attention in an instant.
It’s perfect for people asking for short songs at karaoke.
Precisely because it’s short, it’s easy for beginners to sing, and it can become a memorable tune.
The Hill of PromisesSatomi Nakase & Chiemi Chiba
It is the ending theme of the OVA Shin Getter Robo: The Last Day, sung by Satomi Nakase and Chiemi Chiba.
It is included as the B-side to Ichirou Mizuki’s single “Ima ga Sono Toki da,” released in October 1998.
Notably, Chiemi Chiba also appears in the anime itself as a voice actress.
From the Land of the Dark NightYosui Inoue
“Yami Yo no Kuni Kara” (From the Land of the Dark Night) is one of Yosui Inoue’s early masterpieces, released in 1974 as his fifth single.
It was later covered by Saburo Tokito and used in a commercial, so some people may find it familiar.
Despite what the title suggests, it’s a very bright song with a lively folk-rock arrangement, so it seems like it would be a hit at karaoke as well.
The melody is poppy and easy to remember, the range is relatively low, and the overall pitch span isn’t very wide, so you should be able to sing it smoothly.
Yashagaike (Yasha-ga-ike)The Human Chair
Speaking of Ningen Isu, people of that generation will remember them as the band on the show “Ika-su Band Tenkoku” with the guy dressed as Nezumi Otoko.
The frightening part of this song is that it suddenly depicts a suicide.
Like the children’s song Toryanse—this one is also a scary song.
