BTS ‘Lights’ Official MV

This commercial communicates that with Docomo MAX’s selectable benefits, you can choose Lemino, conveyed through BTS’s live performance footage, one of its content offerings.

By showing a digest of the concert and clearly conveying the excitement, it expresses the thrill of being able to enjoy a wide variety of content.

The song that firmly supports the excitement of the live footage is BTS’s “Lights.” While it’s dance music with a strongly resonant beat, it also has a sense of calm, evoking images of a powerful first step and an upbeat, positive mood.

Stay GoldBTS10rank/position

BTS (방탄소년단) ‘Stay Gold’ Official MV

The theme song for the TV Tokyo drama “Labyrinth of the Spiral ~DNA Forensic Investigation~” was created to match the drama’s worldview and is a warm medium-ballad that resonates with the members’ vocals.

It features lyrical lyrics and a bright melody, carrying the message, “This world isn’t full of only good things, but don’t lose your shine,” and it became a hit, reaching No.

1 on iTunes in 84 countries and regions worldwide.

The melody of the chorus, which includes the song’s title, leaves a particularly strong impression.

Of course, each member has their role, but since this is a drama theme song, it isn’t overly difficult overall and should be easy to learn and sing even for first-time listeners.

In the chorus the melodies overlap, but try singing whichever part you prefer with confidence.

Crystal SnowBTS11rank/position

Crystal Snow

It’s a Japanese original song released on December 6, 2017, characterized by passionate lyrics that compare a precious person to a snowflake—so delicate they might melt at a touch, yet you still want to hold them before they disappear.

The song itself is a ballad, so the tempo is relaxed; even beginners can sing it calmly while keeping an eye on the lyrics.

The chorus has many sustained notes in succession, so singing it grandly should let your voice flow comfortably.

If you worry too much about pitch, you won’t enjoy singing, so first focus on projecting your voice without overthinking it.

Once your voice starts coming out comfortably, then work on matching the pitch.

Black SwanBTS12rank/position

Black Swan (Japanese ver.)

Let me introduce Black Swan, a piece with a captivating dark worldview.

This is a song themed after the film of the same name, Black Swan, with the group’s leader RM contributing to the lyrics.

It portrays the darkness within a dancer’s heart.

Its structure moves from a quiet interlude into an intense chorus, which makes the vocals feel especially powerful by contrast.

There’s also a Japanese version, so it’s great that you can fully understand the poetic lyrics and sing along.

ButterBTS13rank/position

BTS (방탄소년단) ‘Butter’ Official MV

BTS’s hit song “Butter” is upbeat and danceable, and because the choreography is easy to imitate, it’s a perfect choice for dance classes.

Many people have tried copying the moves in the chorus, and among BTS’s dances, it’s relatively simple and easy to follow, making it suitable for incorporating into lessons.

Since it’s a famous track, even students who are new to dance can engage with it more easily.

Because it’s a catchy, familiar, danceable song, I think it’s ideal for a class where everyone shares ideas and creates together!

Life Goes OnBTS14rank/position

Japanese Subtitles [Life Goes On] BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)

You can’t leave out “Life Goes On,” whose gentle lyrics are so soothing.

Released in 2020 as a single, it carries both the painful experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and an encouraging message to overcome them.

Its positive message makes it perfect for times when you want to lift someone’s spirits or create a relaxed atmosphere.

And from a karaoke standpoint, its narrow vocal range and lack of intense rap parts make it relatively easy to sing.
