Love Thief. / “Yuika” [MV]

Born in 2005, the singer-songwriter “Yuika” has become hugely popular among younger generations by releasing original songs online.

She originally kept her face hidden and used illustration- or anime-style visuals for her MVs, but in January 2025 she revealed her face and stepped onto a new stage—something that’s still fresh in our memories.

Her 2022 release “Koi Dorobō” (Love Thief), which came out when she was 17, is a hit with over 28 million views on YouTube as of March 2025.

Although the lyrics are densely packed and the delivery is a bit fast, the vocal range is narrow and the melody line is simple, making it easy to sing.

If you want to aim for a high karaoke score, definitely give it a try.

The key is set on the lower side, so it’s also recommended for those with lower voices who can sing it in their natural register.
