My favorite Japanese songs

 

Listening to the <em>song ('music' works better, instead of 'song')</em> is one of the way to study a language.
Today I <em>talked (in this context, 'spoke about' would sound better)</em> about Japanese songs with my students, and I thought I can could list up my favorite Japanese songs.
I have listed up the name of the songs, singers, the link to the videos, and lilyic (did you mean "lyrics"?).

I realized I choose chose old songs...most of them are from the 1980s or 1990s... well, at that time, Japan's economy was good, and the TV shows, music industry, every type of entertainment was shining. I guess that's why I remember the songs from that time.
