Niji (Paul van Dyk’s Pot Of Gold Remix)

This song is included on the album DRAGON and was also released as a single.

Rainbow features Ryoko Goto, a singer from Nagoya, as a guest vocalist.

While it runs over 10 minutes on the album, the single version is shorter.

Since there aren’t many lyrics, I think it’s easy to sing.

Its bright vibe and catchy rhythm put you in a good mood! The repeating phrases and the floating sensation, like traveling through another dimension, can be addictive.

It makes you want to enjoy your own little world—great to sing or just listen to on a solo karaoke session.

A bluesy, expansive piece with a charm that makes you want to keep it on repeat.

If it’s your first listen, turn the volume up—definitely.

And for karaoke, it might be fun to channel Chiba’s vocal style and really get into character.
