Yeah! Super Holiday!Matsuura Aya

Aya Matsuura “Yeah! Meccha Holiday” Music Video

A song that’s also famous thanks to Haruna Ai’s impersonation.

I’d love to see you nail the “zubatto” lyric gesture boldly and without any shyness.

It’s a bright song throughout, with some folk-music-style parts mixed in, and the development moves quickly—making it really interesting.

I think it’s great for dancing and having fun.
