SMILEYYENA
Former IZ*ONE member YENA—pronounced “Yeh-na.” Since going solo, her popularity hasn’t waned, and she’s been consistently turning out hit songs.
Among her tracks, a highly recommended one that’s easy to sing and great for getting the crowd going is 2022’s “SMILEY.” The song features Japanese female rapper Chanmina, but it leans more pop than hip-hop, so you won’t find the complex flows typical of hip-hop.
Both the rap parts and the vocal lines are easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

The title track of girl group Kep1er’s first Japanese EP, “AGAINST THE WORLD.” It’s an uptempo house song that carries a positive message about overcoming challenges with a sense of fun.

Hare HareTwice
A brisk, danceable track that marks their 10th Japanese single.
The repeating chorus is striking—you might find yourself humming it before you know it! It’s an uplifting anthem with a bright, forward-looking message that gives you a push.
Since it was made for the 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’ in JAPAN, the music video’s stadium-like scenes are also a highlight.
Personally, the line Jeongyeon sings near the end never fails to hit me right in the heart… A superb piece where the group’s early-career trademark pep blends seamlessly with the sleek, stylish sound of recent years.
It will clear up the rainy skies in the listener’s heart!
