This is from a remix track.

It has a dance music vibe, and since she’s Native American, her English is solid.

I think she might quietly become a force in Japan’s J-pop scene.

If this song piques your interest, how about trying it at karaoke? I think you’ll have fun.

“BRAVO! Nippon ~A Fantasy of Snow and Ice~” brings back memories of the 90s J-POP boom.

Released in 1994, the song became a support campaign anthem for the Lillehammer Olympics and can be said to have colored that winter.

The beautiful melody paints a fantasy world of snow and ice, seeming to transform the winter chill into a gentle warmth that nestles close to each person’s heart.

Savor the lyrics brimming with dreams and hope as you listen, and let them illuminate tonight’s winter sky.

Eighty-Eight Pilgrimage, who call themselves “rock music you can’t imagine with a little effort” and “a fringe of bubbly prog,” are a band whose very name packs a punch.

Their songs are laced with a religious worldview throughout, and it’s certainly not the kind of rock you can picture with just a bit of imagination.

The shiver-inducing basslines, addictive guitar riffs, and pounding drumming are exhilarating to listen to.

The distinctive vocals that match their lyrical world are also seriously habit-forming.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to dive deep into a band’s unique universe!

A duet song that passionately celebrates the bond between men and resonates in the heart! “Brother” by the Kitajima Brothers—two beloved disciples of Saburo Kitajima—is a masterful piece written and composed by Daichi Tsuchiko.

Set to a powerful melody, the lyrics unfold around the theme of brotherly love.

Released in August 2018, the song topped the Oricon enka chart.

In December of the same year, it received the Planning Award at the Japan Record Awards and earned a special appearance slot on NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.

This work is recommended for those who value the bonds of family and siblings.

It’s a must-listen for enka fans, offering the rugged depth and fiery spirit unique to a male duet.

This is the third digital-only single by singer-songwriter Wanuka, released in June 2021.

As the artist’s name suggests, the melody and rhythm have a distinctly Japanese flavor that leaves quite an impression.

The vocal melody centers on the mid-range, which is comfortable for most singers.

To score high in karaoke, the key is how well you can reproduce the song’s subtly nonchalant vibe throughout, along with its light, upbeat feel that never quite sits ahead of the beat.

The vocal technique itself isn’t particularly difficult, so study the original carefully and give it a try.

This song delicately portrays the loneliness felt in the cold and the aching feeling of thinking about someone.

It is Wanuka’s 17th digital single, released in December 2023.

The piece beautifully weaves together winter scenery and the subtleties of human relationships.

It’s recommended for moments when you recall a lover or a friend, or when you’re waiting for someone—anytime you feel the solitude of winter.

It’s a moving track that showcases Wanuka’s sensibility and deeply resonates with the heart.
