JOYYU-KI

Here’s a solo track by YUKI, who was the vocalist of the rock band JUDY AND MARY that disbanded at the height of their popularity.

This strikingly unique dance became a hot topic.

It’s his sixth single and his first solo release in seven years.

Taking into account the guitarist member’s hiatus, it was released as a solo work.

In the music video, Keisuke Kuwata’s upper body is combined with the lower body of someone else surfing, which became a topic for its playful, Kuwata-like touch.

It’s a song that’s easy for women to enjoy, and it really gets people going at karaoke.

This song, the eighth single by KAN and one of his signature tracks, was inspired by one of their most revered artists, Billy Joel, and is built around an unchanging, consistent rhythm, piano, and chorus.

It’s a classic number that gets everyone fired up when sung together at karaoke.

How about singing it at karaoke when you get together with friends your age?

It became a huge hit as the theme song for the drama “Yamato Nadeshiko.” It’s a full-fledged ballad that fully showcases her vocal range.

With this song, she earned her first No.

1 on the Oricon Singles Chart, and it’s also a favorite among women at karaoke.

I’d love for women confident in their singing to give it a try.
