Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

This uplifting cheer song puts you in a positive mindset and has been drawing attention on TikTok and Instagram Reels and Stories.

On social media, a rhythmic choreography—lining up in a single vertical row and popping out to the sides—is being enjoyed by users, and it reached the top of the TikTok music chart in March 2025.

Released in April 2024 as CANDY TUNE’s ninth digital single, the track features an up-tempo sound and encouraging lyrics that push people forward toward their dreams and goals.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone who wants to share their hard work or send support to someone special via social media.

First Love Killernozomi

Born in 2000 and arguably one of today’s most talked-about singer-songwriters, Noshi is a multitalented artist who not only writes and performs her own songs but also handles arrangements and artwork.

While her name spread widely in 2024 thanks to the hit “Zenhōkō Bishōjo” (All-Directional Beautiful Girl), “Hatsukoi Killer,” released in May of the same year, also went viral for its exceptionally catchy sound—including the striking guitar riff in the intro—its skillful ensemble, and playful lyrics.

When singing it at karaoke, note that it’s not structured like a typical J-pop song with clearly divided A-melody, B-melody, and chorus.

Practice keeping the melodic lines from becoming too flat, and aim to deliver the rap-like sections rhythmically, coolly, and with effortless ease.

The song by “Youmou to Ohana” features a light, rhythmic jazz style.

Hana Chiba’s soft, clear vocals blend beautifully with Kazunori Ichikawa’s delicate guitar playing.

It’s included on the album “LIVE IN LIVING for Good Night,” released in August 2011, a collection themed around “songs that fit the night.” The track expresses a confession of love and the joy of enjoying time together, giving listeners energy and comfort.

It’s perfect for moments when you want to step away from daily noise, calm your mind, or simply relax.

It’s also frequently used in Instagram Reels and Stories, so give it a try!

It’s a pleasant track where the warm, bittersweet mood melts together, imbued with the sweet scent of oranges.

It elegantly portrays the sweet, bitter, and aching emotions born from love by likening them to the taste of a cocktail.

While the melody feels refreshing, it’s quintessentially Conton Candy in the way it sings of the complexities of a loving heart.

Released in April 2023, this work is slated to be included on the album “melt pop,” scheduled for release in 2024.

The lyrics beautifully balance a sweet, love-song ambiance with a mature, narrative quality.

With a nostalgic atmosphere and an addictive melody, it also trended on social media.
