[Official Music Video] Perfume “Chocolate Disco”

From the intro, Perfume’s popular track “Chocolate Disco” amps up the energy with a techno-pop vibe.

The repeated lyrics in the chorus are super catchy, making it a real crowd-pleaser.

It’s a cute song that makes women want to sing along during the Valentine’s season.

Kyoko Koizumi – I'm Glad I Met You (Official Video)

Kyoko Koizumi, an idol who was hugely active from the late ’80s through the ’90s.

Her song “Anata ni Aete Yokatta” was released in 1992, and from around this track she began putting out increasingly original, distinctive songs.

This work emphasizes catchiness, featuring a very singable vocal line throughout.

In particular, the range—mid1 G# to hi B—is quite narrow for a female song, so as long as you adjust the key, it should be easy for singers of any voice type to perform.

Sayuri Kokusho (Kokusho Sayuri) – Valentine Kiss

This is the solo debut song of Sayuri Kokusho, a member of the idol group Onyanko Club, which became a social phenomenon in the 1980s.

She was also famous for the introduction, “Membership number one!” They were idols who felt close and unlike anything anyone had seen before—giving a faint hope of “Maybe I could be an idol too!” But that was the brilliant strategy of the famous producer Yasushi Akimoto.

Even now, every year on February 14, you can still hear her cute singing voice playing somewhere.

"Spell" by Ado

It’s the official theme song for Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event—the one that made the zombie dance famous! It’s an extremely challenging song packed with high-pitched shouts, low-voiced narration, and rap-style sections.

I learned it together with my students during lessons! The lyrics include some difficult words, so I recommend listening to the original track and making sure to learn it piece by piece.

The tempo is fast and you have to keep singing one line after another; if you strain too much, you’ll wreck your throat, but if you hold back too much, it loses impact.

If you use your breath properly and project a strong falsetto, you can sing it with a cool tone! Since it’s also a dance track, once you get comfortable, try swaying your body while you sing—locking into the rhythm can make it easier to produce sound and add accents.

This one definitely gets the crowd going, so even just having a rough idea of the song might be worth it!

MISIA – Shape of Love feat. HIDE (GReeeeN) (Official Music Video)

Released in 2018, MISIA’s “Ai no Katachi” is a collaboration song with HIDE from GReeeeN.

The track was used as the theme song for the TBS TV drama “Stepmom and Daughter’s Blues.” It was also featured in a commercial for SUBARU’s Levorg, which speaks to how outstanding the song is.

Beyond the song itself, MISIA enjoys immense popularity among women of the same generation.

Many people in their 40s likely sing MISIA at karaoke, don’t they? With its slow tempo and easy-to-remember melody, it’s a song you’ll definitely want to try singing.

Let’s all sing along to the exhilarating build-up in the latter half!
