Drive / (Lyric Video)

This track by Namie Amuro—an artist who can be called a defining songstress of the Heisei era—was included as the coupling song to the single “shine more.” Its calm, subdued sound is striking and seems to put the spotlight on her vocals.

The lyrics, penned by Amuro herself, are distinctive, expressing the rising emotions one feels while driving with someone special.

With its tranquil atmosphere, the song also conveys a sense of savoring precious moments.

I can’t stay a daydreaming girlAikawa Nanase

Yume Miru Adolescence 'I Can't Be a Dreaming Girl'

It’s a smash hit by Nanase Aikawa.

This song is Aikawa’s debut single, and it became a huge hit right after her debut, even earning her a spot on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a super catchy and cool track, so give it a listen when you’re driving in winter.

Effeminate / Golden Bomber – Music Video

It’s a breakup song, but the vibe of the track—and especially the music video—is so quirky that listening to it actually lifts your spirits.

It’s become a karaoke staple for cheering yourself up after a breakup, so I hope you learn it, go have fun singing it at karaoke, and forget all about your heartbreak.

You Got ToDOUBLE

You Got To

A track from DOUBLE, Takako’s solo project.

It’s included on the album “VISION.” First, make sure you don’t get swept away by the moody melody of this song.

Then, be careful not to get tangled up by the sheer number of words in the lyrics! If you sing with the image of moving your body, locking into the groove, and getting your listeners to feel the same, you’ll deliver a cool performance.

Every Little Thing / fragile

This duo has been active for many years and enjoys widespread popularity.

The female vocalist has been emphasizing high notes less than in her younger days, so this should be easier for ordinary women to sing.

Since many people like this signature song, let’s start by mastering it.

CHE.R.RYYUI

YUI　『CHE.R.RY-short ver.-』

It’s a song with a cute, girlish melody and a warm feel.

You can sing it like an acoustic “singer-with-guitar” style, so I think it’s easy to project your voice.

The rhythm changes between the A and B sections and the chorus, so keep that in mind as you sing.

The phrasing also changes, so be careful there.
