When singing karaoke with friends, it’s great to choose songs with a youth theme.

One recommendation is “Gunjou.” This song, released by YOASOBI in 2020, is also known as the set piece for a dance video project aimed at high school students.

The lyrics express both the hardships and the brilliance of dedicating yourself to something, so try singing it while reminiscing about your school days.

Keep the first half restrained, and adjust so that the pitch reaches its highest point in the final chorus.

Minami is a singer-songwriter known for her powerful vocals.

Her debut single, ‘Kawaki wo Ameku,’ was also the theme song for the anime ‘Domestic Girlfriend.’ The intro, which starts with spoken words, is a bit surprising, and the chorus—delivered with a voice that feels like it rises from deep within—along with the lyrics, really hits home.

Pay attention to the lyrics, which feel like a heartfelt cry.
