Good bye daysYUI

I think it was the theme song for something…
I remember really liking the chorus.
But her tone is so high that it’s hard to sing at karaoke (lol).
I had a friend who used to sing it, and people of my generation probably like this song.
Feeling great!!mihimaru GT

This song was pretty popular too! That girl’s voice was unique, and I liked it as well.
The whole track kind of feels like it’s all chorus, so the hype kids would jump on it at karaoke right away (lol).
I remember singing it a few times myself!
Hype Hype EVERY KnightDJ OZMA

This song was insanely popular.
I feel like it was playing somewhere every single day (lol).
When it first started trending, there wasn’t a day I didn’t hear it.
Now it seems like it’s not played at all…
It was a big deal on TV and such.
No regretKōda Kumi

Compared to her previous song, I liked this one better, and even now the chorus of this one sometimes gets stuck in my head (lol).
But since I don’t remember the full song properly, I got into trouble when I tried to sing it at karaoke.
I do like it, though (lol).
crescent moonayaka

I remember this song being liked by people of all ages.
My mom liked it even more than I did (lol).
I think it stayed near the top in ringtone downloads, too.
I’m pretty sure this was the call waiting song for one of my classmates!

This song was the theme for 14-year-old Mother, which Mirai Shida starred in.
Back when I used to listen to it, there were feelings I didn’t understand yet, but now every time I hear it, the sadness and other emotions come through from the song.
It’s such a good song, isn’t it? I was so moved when he sang it for me (lol).
Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira

I was really into the unit that teamed up for Nobuta wo Produce back then.
At the time I liked Kamenashi-kun, so I watched it all the time, and when we sang it at karaoke, my friends and I would often dance to the chorus part (lol).
The rhythm is great, too.
