Great for karaoke too! Upbeat songs that will get you hyped

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

I am the strongest.Mrs. GREEN APPLE

I’m invincible

I am the strongest.Mrs. GREEN APPLE

Not only is it upbeat, but its lyrics are energizing too—“Watashi wa Saikyo” (“I’m Invincible”) is that kind of song.

It was written by Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, and provided to Ado.

Ado’s original version is fantastic, but I also recommend the version sung by Motoki Omori.

Compared to Ado’s, his version is set in a higher overall key.

If you’re not comfortable with low notes when singing karaoke, you might want to use his version as a reference.
