Shangri-LaChatto Monchī93rank/position

Chatmonchy released this song in 2006, and it was used as the ending theme for the anime “Hataraki Man.” The title, “Shangri-La,” seems to be the name of a lover.
Listening with that in mind, you realize it’s a very cute song directed at a sweetheart.
Many listeners might feel their hearts skip a beat at the lyrics that express a desire to be doted on and to be needed by someone they love.
The tempo is slow, so it’s easy to sing at karaoke!
Merry XmasBoA94rank/position

One of BoA’s signature songs and a classic winter tune, “Meri Kuri.” It’s a love song that vividly evokes the warm relationship with a boyfriend, and it’s also a wonderful song that expresses gratitude toward him.
Of course, singing it at karaoke is great, and as a guy, I think it would be really heartwarming to feel your girlfriend’s love coming through the song.
But it’s also romantic and lovely to listen to it and hum along while taking a walk together or on the way home.
It’s a winter love ballad that everyone has heard at least once, so it leaves a good impression on any man.
POP IN 2B Komachi95rank/position

A character song born from the TV anime “Oshi no Ko.” It’s included on a character song CD released in October 2024.
The lyrics are playful, pop, and focused on sound, blending girlish sweetness with edgy phrases to great effect.
The rhythmic, catchy melody follows the classic path of idol pop while boasting high synchronization with the choreography, resulting in a structure packed with highlight moments.
An adorable dance by choreographer Sho has been officially released, making it perfect for women to perform together at company year-end or New Year parties!
