Songs with titles starting with 'Ya' (201–210)

YBOMNOA

NOA – YBOM (You’ve Been On my Mind)【Official Music Video】
YBOMNOA

NOA is a singer-songwriter who enjoys overwhelming popularity among young people for his K-POP-influenced musicality and striking looks.

Although many of his songs are quite challenging, “YBOM” is easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their vocals.

The biggest point of this track is that there are very few long sustained notes.

It’s not hardcore rap, but most of the song features melodious, rap-like passages, making it comfortable even for people who struggle with breathing.

On top of that, the vocal range is fairly narrow, so even those who can’t hit high notes should be able to sing it without difficulty.

Promise…NOA

No matter how tough I act or how much I cry, when I can’t erase the pain of heartbreak, Noa’s voice soothes me.

It’s a song that feels like it will let everything flow into the past—the moments that bring me to tears when I remember them, and the promises that never came true.

When you’re on the train, your mind tends to wander, doesn’t it? This is a song called “Yamanote Line” by the rapper NORIKIYO.

The neo-soul beat is stylish and wonderful.

Over that track, he sings about the casual scenes you notice on the train.

If you ride the train regularly, you’ll likely relate to this song.

Perfect companion for your morning commute!

NakamuraEmi is a singer-songwriter whose appeal lies in her realistic lyrics—shaped by her past work experience and a distinctly female perspective—that resonate strongly with many women.

Musically, she draws from a wide range of influences, including hip-hop and reggae, and her tracks that incorporate rap, like this one, are especially compelling.

This song, one of her signature pieces, carries a powerful message: “Keep moving forward without comparing yourself to others!!” Coupled with lively, driving vocal work, it’s the kind of track that stirs your fighting spirit the more you listen.

A song about realizing that your relationships with friends or lovers, which you carry on somewhat carelessly, and which you take for granted and treat thoughtlessly, might one day disappear.

YOUTH CityNothing’s Carved In Stone

This song is included on their 7th album, MAZE, released in 2015.

It’s easy to listen to overall and a beautiful track, so I recommend it even to people who aren’t very familiar with Nothing’s.

The music video is also highly recommended—it features a cool, beautiful performance set against a nighttime city backdrop!

Sword of KindnessNovelbright

Novelbright – Sword of Kindness [Official Music Video]
Sword of KindnessNovelbright

This is the ninth digital-only single by Novelbright, a five-piece rock band that captivates listeners with a translucent high-tone voice and straightforward rock sound.

Written as the theme song for the TV drama “The Stranded,” the track pushes the vocals to the forefront while delivering a robust band sound that really amps up the energy.

Because the overall key is high, lowering the key is one way to make it easier to sing at karaoke, but the frequent leaps in pitch make it a challenging song.

Precisely because of that, it’s incredibly cool if you can pull it off—so if you often go to karaoke, this is a number you should definitely try.
