Bunny GirlAKASAKI

【AKASAKI】Bunny Girl – Natural（Music Video）

As one of the songs that went viral in 2024, many people will surely remember “Bunny Girl.” The talent of AKASAKI, who created this track at the young age of a high school student, is truly remarkable, and I’m sure there are people practicing it to add this masterpiece by a young artist to their karaoke repertoire.

The use of 7th chords that pops up throughout is stylish, and while it may sound understated at first, the melody line is actually very catchy and easy to remember, with no extreme high notes—so even those who struggle with high pitches should find it easy to sing.

Try approaching it at karaoke with a slightly cool, playfully suave vibe, and you’ll do great!
