Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, who can fairly be called the reigning champions of the Reiwa-era J-POP charts.
Every song they release becomes a hit, they boast an overwhelming number of listeners, and they’re wildly popular at karaoke.
That said, given their exceptional songwriting sense, meticulously crafted ensemble, and melodies spanning a wide vocal range delivered by Mr.
Omori’s incredible vocals, it’s honestly not easy to sing their songs well.
With that in mind, Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024, falls into the relatively easy-to-sing category.
Its lyrics—also serving as the theme song for the film Saint Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men vs.
the Demon Army—are highly relatable and are sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Just be aware that there’s a brief section of irregular meter in the middle, but once you’ve got the overall flow down, you’ll be able to sing it smoothly.
