MAGIC! – Rude (Official Video)

This is a song about defiantly declaring, “I’m absolutely going to marry her,” despite her father’s firm opposition.

Sung with a laid-back vibe yet showing a strong resolve to get married, it’s the kind of stance that any girl would probably find cool.

If you have a girlfriend you really love, why not give it a try and sing it?

Nicki Minaj – Super Bass (Official Video)

A girly, cute track.

Its bright tone will lift your spirits the more you listen, so I highly recommend it.

The rap is fast and in English, so it might be challenging.

However, rap is trending in Japan too, so if you’re interested, definitely give it a try.
