The sweet scent of fragrant olive that heralds the arrival of autumn.

Capturing a fluttering first love awakened by that aroma, this song is a youthful love anthem by ORANGE SPINY CLUB.

Set against everyday scenes like sloping streets and crossroads, budding feelings of romance are expressed in friendly, conversational words, as if confiding in a friend.

Your ShapeKasamura Tōta

This song, where Nayuka’s voice gently nestles close to your heart, is a ballad released by Tota Kasamura in September 2025.

The story unfolds as we realize that the presence of someone precious, etched deep within the hollow of our chest, is life itself.

Precisely because it’s arranged with only piano and vocals, the emotions embedded in the lyrics are conveyed directly.

It’s a track I want you to listen to when you’re feeling the pain of losing someone, yet finding the resolve to keep living.

This track appears on the masterpiece Growing Up, released in November 1995.

It’s a song for everyone who, when thinking about the future with someone special, wants to believe in an unchanging love.

Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi

If you want a song to get everyone hyped, I recommend Cutie Honey.

It’s known across generations, so it’s a blast to sing at karaoke! Since many people are already familiar with the tune, you can probably breeze through it even if you’re not confident in your pitch.

The chorus does go a bit higher, so try to keep relaxed and avoid forcing your voice.

That said, this is a song where vibe matters more than vocal technique—if you move your body and use hand gestures to the rhythm, the tension naturally eases and it becomes much easier to sing! In fact, for people who aren’t used to karaoke, gestures are surprisingly important.

Standing stiff will almost always make you sing from your throat, so I highly recommend moving your body to the beat.

You’ll have a great time—don’t be shy, give it a try!
