Gather 'round! Party people!Yabai T-shatsu Yasan

A song by the three-piece rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan, known by the nickname “YabaT,” which has gained popularity for their high-energy tracks and live performances.

The track appears on their indie 2nd single “Piano Rock Band” and their major-label 1st album “We love Tank-top,” and it also drew attention for the major-version music video being filmed in Hollywood, USA.

From the sing-along-friendly arrangement right at the opening to the driving off-beat rhythm, it’s a listen that really pumps you up.

It’s an upper-tune made for letting loose without overthinking—perfect for karaoke, where we hope you’ll belt it out with your fist in the air.

U.S.A.DA PUMP

A comeback hit by DA PUMP that popularized the term “so uncool it’s cool.” It’s easy for anyone to get into, and the choreography isn’t difficult, so it’s easy to copy! That said, since vocalist ISSA has a relatively high range, the song’s overall range is narrow at B3–B4, but the chorus stays high.

If you’re good at sustained high notes in chest voice, you’ll be able to sing the whole thing comfortably.

If high notes are tough for you, try moving your body while you sing—matching your movement to your timing should help you lock in those high notes more and more.
