I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan
The song Sukitchuu no!, which gained nationwide popularity through platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts, is a track by HoneyWorks, known for their hit Kawaikute Gomen feat.
Chuutan.
Like Kawaikute Gomen, it puts an overtly cutesy charm front and center, but surprisingly, the vocal line is quite simple and the range is relatively narrow.
Compared to Kawaikute Gomen, the pitch movement in the melody is much more gentle, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to sing it without trouble.
The Story You Don’t KnowAidoru Nessansu
It’s a cover of a popular anime’s theme song, but it really brings out the strengths of the original.
I think it appeals broadly to young people as a bridge between idol fans and anime fans.
If you sing it with heart and let your voice flow, it feels very refreshing, so I recommend it even for solo karaoke.
