A track that captivates with its transparent emotional expression and delicate snapshots of everyday moments.

It portrays the feelings of standing at a crossroads in love and life, carrying a positive message about embracing your true self.

Created as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Kururi: Who Did I Fall in Love With?”, it was released in April 2024 and gradually gained popularity, also earning support for the fun vibe spread through dance videos on social media.

The fun call-and-response that everyone can sing together is what makes Finger 5’s “Gakuen Tengoku” so great.

Released in 1974, the song reached No.

2 on the Oricon singles chart.

From the call-and-response at the beginning and in the middle to the shouts sprinkled throughout, there are lots of parts that are more fun with a crowd.

It’s been covered by a variety of artists, including Kyoko Koizumi and Shingo Katori.

With its rock ’n’ roll-style twist dance vibe, it’s a nostalgic sound for those of that generation.

But it’s also a track younger people can get hyped about, so be sure to sing it at the after-party of your company drinking outing!

Sakamoto Kyu’s “Ashita ga Arusa,” released in 1963, is a classic that has even ranked high on karaoke charts.

It’s a bright, happy cheer song that sings about how tomorrow comes for everyone.

The Re:Japan version, in particular, is performed by a total of 11 members, making it perfect for group singing.
