It’s a richly flavored number that makes you feel warm and cozy as you listen.
Highly recommended for a sing-along at karaoke with someone special.
You’re sure to be immersed in the world of Rin-ne.
Life Style – T-Pablow, YZERR (Prod by Gold Digga)BAD HOP
BAD HOP is one of the most popular hip-hop crews in Japan.
If you’re in your teens or twenties, chances are you’ve heard their work at least once.
The track that kick-started their rise to fame is “Life Style – T-Pablow, YZERR (Prod by Gold Digga).” It’s a signature piece for the crew, expressing their way of life—literally, their lifestyle.
If you’re singing it at karaoke, it’s a good idea to add an Auto-Tune effect.
Because You’re My ShawtyAK-69
When it comes to Nagoya rappers, we can’t forget TOKONA-X, Ryofu Karma, and AK-69.
As for START IT AGAIN, while both the musical style and lyrics are reminiscent of RHYMESTER’s ONCE AGAIN, you can still feel his uniquely strong and resilient will.
His pronunciation is so clear you can catch the words even without reading the lyrics.
Emphasizing the s sounds, and pronouncing the long “o” vowel—like in words such as “kodō” (heartbeat) and “zanzō” (afterimage)—as a rounded “u-oo” will really boost how closely you can reproduce the original track!
QueendomAwich
A true classic among classics that tells the life of Awich, a female rapper who also shines on TV and on the runway.
The raw, straightforward lyrics are so powerful that it’s hard to make it to the end without tears.
Awich’s sense of rhythm and pronunciation are unbelievably advanced, so don’t be afraid to take on the challenge and practice again and again.
There are quite a few repeated phrases, so the lyrics themselves are relatively easy to memorize.
If you sing it at karaoke, you might even move the people around you to tears.
WekapipoSOUL’d OUT
SOUL’d OUT is known for a style inspired by American hip-hop.
Their debut single is Wekapipo.
It rides an ’80s hip-hop-style track and delivers a passionate message to people chasing their dreams.
If you not only sing but also copy the big hand-swinging choreography, it’ll get even more exciting.
Check out the music video to see what it’s like.
By the way, the title is a coined word shortened from “work up people.”
