The song ‘좋다고 말해 (Tell Me You Like Me)’ has qualities that resonate with mellow Japanese kayōkyoku.
It might be perfect for people who often sing songs in the vein of Kiroro or Ikimono-gakari.
The slower tempo is a nice bonus.
If you’ve never sung a Korean song before, start with this one!
가시Buzz
BUZZ is a rock band that made its major debut in 2003.
Gash(i) was included on their second album, Effect, released in 2005.
Its title means “thorn,” and it’s a rock ballad overflowing with BUZZ’s signature emotion, depicting the pain of love.
Even as time passes, it remains a karaoke staple beloved by Korean men.
It’s perfect for when you want to let go of a broken heart.
The relaxed melody is also a highlight, and there’s no doubt you’ll feel the passion rise as you sing.
Mind Your Own BusinessAilee
The girl-crush style of “Mind Your Own Business” is so cool.
It’s included as the title track of her first full album, Vivid, released in 2015.
When you think of Ailee, her outstanding vocal ability is definitely the big draw.
Her confident stage presence and powerful vocals are impressive, and this song lets those strengths shine to the fullest.
She brushes off a rocky relationship, saying, “I’m leaving, so do whatever you want.” The rhythm can be a bit tricky, but if you make it through, it’ll feel incredibly satisfying.
The repeating English phrases are sure to give you a refreshing kick, too!
Love LightCNBLUE
CNBLUE is a rock band that steadily built their popularity through grassroots activities and training in Japan, such as street performances.
“Love Light” is a track included on their second mini-album, BLUE LOVE, released in 2010.
It’s a romantic mid-tempo number characteristic of Yonghwa, describing a lover as a light more beautiful than the stars.
With a relaxed, gentle melody centered on acoustic guitar, it’s relatively easy to sing aside from the high vocal range.
It also helps create a soothing atmosphere, making it a great pick from a song selection perspective.
Hear The Wind SingGFRIEND
They were a group that raced through the Korean music scene with classic idol looks and songs.
They ended their activities in May 2021, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only fan who felt disappointed, thinking, “They were just getting started…” The name GFRIEND was derived from the words GOOD FRIEND and GIRL FRIEND, reflecting their wish to win support from both men and women.
Their song “Hear The Wind Sing” also carries that quintessential idol-like bittersweetness.
I’d love to hear women who like Japanese idols sing it!
