Quite a few of the oldest kayo kyoku that I've heard from my childhood which include the top 2 songs. Pedro & Capricious have a beautiful ballad in "Wakare no Asa", and of course, there is the song that I threw up to on my way from Haneda Airport to Ginza when I first set foot on Japanese soil, "Hitori Ja Nai No".
