up andfromis_9
Rising in popularity with their catchy songs and captivating members, fromis_9 have steadily built their career since their formation in 2017.
Among their tracks, this song—centered on the uncertainty and risks of love—has been drawing particular attention.
Its lyrics convey the importance of embracing challenges and facing forward no matter the circumstances.
It’s bright and poppy with a signature four-on-the-floor dance beat that just keeps lifting your spirits as you listen! Snap some purikura while playing this track, and you’ll definitely have more fun than ever!
Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen is a singer-songwriter from Canada.
This song is a classic that sets a story of love at first sight—handing over a phone number—to a poppy melody.
When it was released in 2011, it sparked a huge craze around the world, including in Japan.
It’s a track packed with the excitement and joy of a girl in love, featuring a cute melody and a pleasant sense of rhythm.
It’s guaranteed to get you pumped for taking fun purikura photos!
22Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift, the singer-songwriter born in Canada.
Isn’t her fairy-like looks, crystal-clear voice, and strong character something many girls admire? This is her song “22,” released in 2013, which she wrote to celebrate her 22nd birthday.
If you’ve ever done a shoot in Merle, you’ve probably heard it, right? It’s perfect not only for a friend’s birthday party but also for a girls’ night out.
It’s included on Taylor’s album Red, so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out!
Break Free ft. ZeddAriana Grande
It brings friends together and has this cool vibe—that’s what I think makes Western pop and EDM so great.
This collaboration between Ariana Grande and Zedd perfectly combines hype and coolness.
Zedd’s danceable production pairs beautifully with Ariana Grande’s enveloping vocals and soaring high notes.
The lyrics are striking too, directly conveying the feelings of “becoming stronger than before” and “being reborn.” Channel Ariana—hugely popular with women—and strike a cool pose!
I want to become a cat.IZ*ONE
IZ*ONE is a popular idol group, especially among girls in elementary through high school.
“I Want to Be a Cat” is one of their hit songs, depicting the feeling of wanting to become a cat.
Cats are like symbols of living freely without flattering anyone, and many people probably feel, “That’s so nice,” and admire them.
That said, this song might actually be about not wanting to show your true self to the person you like for fear they’ll dislike you, and disliking how you get tossed around by those feelings—so you think, if only I were a cat… Although the song is slow-tempo, knowing the lyrics might inspire some lively poses for your purikura!
All About That BassMeghan Trainor
This is the song “All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor, which you hear all over the place even in Japan.
It’s such a fun track! It teaches the importance of having confidence in your body and loving it, no matter its shape.
These days, I think many people have tried dieting at least once.
In Japan especially, there’s a tendency to prefer being thin, but many people push themselves too hard and end up harming their health.
In truth, every body type should be recognized as an individual trait.
With her cute vocals and a comical doo-wop-style track, it’s a super catchy song—be sure to take in the message she put into it, too.
You Belong With MeTaylor Swift
Taylor Swift, a songstress who has won multiple Grammy Awards and, at just 20 years old, became the youngest artist ever to receive the Grammys’ most prestigious honor, Album of the Year.
This song portrays a girl who’s in love with a boy who’s in love with someone else, all the while thinking, “I’m the one who deserves to be by your side,” as she keeps waiting for him to notice her.
The lyrics capture the heartache of unrequited love, yet the upbeat tempo hints at a happy future.
