Toxic Sweet feat. JP THE WAVYm-flo
A summer killer tune from m-flo featuring JP THE WAVY, bursting with tropical island flavor and a distinctive reggae-style beat! It tells the love story between a beautiful but hard-to-handle, dangerous Martian heroine and a guy, expressed with m-flo’s signature comedic lyrics.
This time, DJ Taku☆Takahashi also drops a rap, and the never-before-seen back-and-forth among the three MCs, combined with LISA’s melodies and exquisite vocals, makes for an outstanding mic relay.
The music video features surreal footage of the m-flo members freely roaming around Los Angeles—Venice Beach, Downtown, and more—delivering a pop, street-inspired finish where JP THE WAVY also appears as wall art.

This track by Rhymester pursues the essence of hip-hop while boldly showcasing their originality.

The sounds of ethnic percussion like djembe and bongo evoke a tropical Okinawan vibe.
It’s not a four-on-the-floor beat but a distinctive rhythm that’s surprisingly easy to groove to.
A track where her Okinawan background rides the sound and comes through clearly.

dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
A pop dance number by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
It became a hot topic thanks to its flashy music video where the members themselves show off their dance moves! The overall vocal range is A3 to F#5, and aside from the very last high note in the chorus, it’s a range most male singers can handle.
If you consciously keep your energy high, your facial muscles and eyebrows will naturally lift, making it easier to project your voice! The rhythm is distinctive—if you feel it with a bouncy swing or count it in double-time, you’ll likely find it easier to groove and sing along.
For the high notes at the end of the melody, don’t be afraid—charge in with momentum! Aim to let it all out and project your voice confidently!
