Chinese womanYellow Magic Orchestra
A track from the B-side of the 1978 album “Yellow Magic Orchestra.” I feel the essence of techno in its sound, which is reminiscent of China yet carries a hint of Europe.
It’s one of their masterpieces, where the driving rhythm pairs perfectly with Yukihiro Takahashi’s tight vocals.

The fluttery excitement of falling in love and the light, spring-like melody stick in your head after just one listen.
That itchy, restless feeling when a romance begins is something anyone can relate to, regardless of gender.
YUI’s cute vocals are a perfect match for this song.
It may be an older track, but it still feels fresh even now.

“Chupri” is a mass-produced-style song with cute lyrics that trace a girl’s complexes and inner struggles.
It’s a popular track by the idol group ZOC, and when you listen to it together with the music video—which feels like snapshots of the members’ everyday lives—you can’t help getting hooked on its unique world.
The music video is also great for showcasing each member’s different jirai-kei makeup looks.
The song keeps an upbeat vibe from start to finish, so listening to it really lifts your mood!
Choo Choo TRAINZoo
Released in November 1991, ZOO’s track is a vibrant, energetic dance tune.
With the theme of “breaking free from everyday life,” it sings of setting off into a new world.
Used as the CM song for JR East’s JR Ski Ski campaign, it became a winter staple.
The song is bright, featuring a lively rhythm and catchy melody that energize listeners.
Even those who aren’t confident dancing might find their bodies moving naturally when they hear it.
Listen to it on the train after work or school, and it may soothe your tired heart.
Packed with the charm of ZOO, this piece continues to be loved by many to this day.
bow knotaiko
Many of aiko’s songs have a stylish feel, which can make them seem difficult to sing.
Her 12th single, “Chōchō Musubi,” released in 2003, is no exception.
It expresses a hidden affection for someone with whom she feels a mysterious connection, and its airy, fluttering melody—like a butterfly in flight—beautifully conveys the protagonist’s emotions.
Precisely because it’s so captivating, it can feel challenging to sing.
However, if you listen closely to the melody, you’ll find it’s actually very catchy, with many repeated phrases.
Songs with lots of repetition are easier to learn, so if you give it a try, you might find it surprisingly easy to sing!

Aimi, who has Japanese roots, released her 3rd EP, “Chosen One,” in February 2022.
This track from the album “Chosen One” is an ambitious work created as a love letter to the new era of R&B.
Set against a backdrop of groovy hip-hop and R&B sounds, Aimi’s emotive vocals resonate deeply.
The lyrics capture everyday joy and gratitude, along with feelings for loved ones, and sing about the importance of bonds while overcoming hardships.
To celebrate the release, a live event was held in Ebisu, Tokyo, on April 2, 2022.
This song is recommended for those who feel worn out by daily life or want to reaffirm their connections with important people.
