Blue JeansHANA

HANA / Blue Jeans -Music Video-

It’s a mid-tempo ballad that sings of the bittersweetness of being in love and the down-to-earth longing to see the person you like.

The lyrics cleverly and stylishly overlay complicated feelings of love onto worn-in jeans and sneakers.

It portrays the emotions of nights when you feel insecure and lack confidence—something many high school students will surely relate to.

The song is by HANA, a girl group born from an audition program, and it was released as their second single in July 2025.

Their debut track, ROSE, even hit No.

1 on the Billboard JAPAN HOT 100, showing no signs of their momentum slowing down.

This release also features a collaboration with the casual brand DIESEL, and its visuals drew considerable attention.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to on your way to school or on nights when you’re feeling a bit sentimental.

Unrequited lovemiwa

miwa 'Unrequited Love'

This is a song by the singer-songwriter miwa.

It expresses the growing feelings for an unrequited love, so many teenage girls will likely relate to it.

If you’re a teen experiencing a crush, definitely give it a listen.

I love itŌhara Sakurako

Sakurako Ohara – I Love You (Music Video Short ver.)

It was released in 2016 as Sakurako Ohara’s fifth solo single.

The song was used in the commercial for Colopl’s “White Cat Project,” and it reached No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It’s a love song that encourages you to properly convey the feeling of “I really love you,” which can be hard to put into words.

Me, looking my best—I’m unstoppable! (feat. Yurinya)Pretty Chuu

Me, looking my best—I'm unstoppable! (feat. Yurinya)

As the title suggests, it’s a positive song with lyrics that boost your self-esteem and help you love yourself! The range is comfortable, so even karaoke beginners can sing it with confidence, and it’s easy to get hyped at karaoke—singing with friends will make it even more fun.

When you sing, the chorus starts on A#4, so don’t push your voice; imagine singing lightly with a smile, which makes it easier to catch the groove and keep it sounding cute.

It might be best to sing as if you’ve actually become an idol! That way your facial muscles stay lifted, which prevents a throaty sound and lets you sing comfortably and pleasantly.

Also, waving your hand side to side like at a live concert helps you lock into the rhythm, so I recommend it!

I want to become a ghost.Yuika

I Want to Become a Ghost / “Yuika” [MV]

This is the opening theme song for the TV anime “Wataru-kun’s XX Is on the Verge of Collapse,” which began airing in July 2025.

It’s especially popular among students, and some of my students who like Yuika have been singing it too! When I listened to the song, my impression was that the rhythm in the chorus is tricky.

If you try to sing before memorizing the melody, you might not know where to break phrases or where to breathe.

If you hum along while listening, you can memorize the melody, and once you can hum it lightly, you’ll be able to relax and sing more easily.

The chorus uses the same melody with only slight changes to the lyrics, so once you get past that part, it should be easier to sing.

Also, if breathing is difficult, don’t try to sing everything at 100%; try easing your voice in little by little.

When you hit a spot where you can think, “I can breathe here!” take a deep breath!
