This is a collection of Japanese songs that I tried singing. :)

 

1. First Love – I heard this song when I was still in highschool. It is my favorite song of Utada Hikaru.

2. Mezase Pokemon Master – It’s the opening theme song of Pokemon! It’s so fast that I couldn’t sing it well.

3. Arigatou – This song has good lyrics. As the title suggest, it’s about thanking someone.

 If I could see you one more time
I just want to say one word: thankyou, thankyou

4. Owari Naki Tabi – It’s the most meaningful and encouraging song of Mr. Children for me.

 Beyond that closed door
A brand new something is waiting
I’m sure, I’m sure that’s what’s moving me
It’s not like there’s nothing but pleasant things
But I want to knock on the next door
I’ll search for the me that should be bigger
An endless journey
Don’t you go imitating anyone
You’re fine the way you are
There isn’t any recipe for living, none

5. Okaasan no Uta – It’s from Ookami Kodomo Ame to Yuki, a very heart-warming animated movie. It’s about how a mother took care of her children.

6. Yell. This one is a popular goodbye song of Ikimono Gakari. It is suited for graduations or other situations in which someone leaves you.

Goodbye isn’t a sad word
It’s a yell that connects us to our respective dreams
I’ll hold the days we spent together in my heart
And take off alone to my next sky

7. Love Story – Oh. It’s of the same title of a popular song. However, this is very much different. This song of Namie Amuro tells about a sad love story.

I’m sure I love you more than anyone else
But I’ll walk on this path that I’ve chosen
Even if I’m reborn, I’ll keep loving you
But we can no longer be together
Cause life’s no love story

8. Secret Base – It’s original sung by Zone.However, there are other versions which was done. My favorite one is by SCANDAL, a Japanese girl rock band.

You and the end of summer and the dreams of the future
And our big hope, I won’t forget them.
I believe that we will meet in August 10 years later.
I knew that you screamed “Thank You” from the bottom of your heart till the very end.
A goodbye when you hold back your tears and smile is lonely, isn’t it.
The best memories…

9. Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari – It’s an ending song from an anime. It’s telling a story that happened in high school days.

Since when I wonder,
Have I been chasing after you?
Somehow, please,
Don’t be surprised and listen
to these feelings of mine.

10. Suki Dakara. – Another love song, expressing feelings directly.

I want this overflowing feeling to become tradition
I love you, after all; I love you, after all; I definitely love you, after all
