IS THIS LOVEXG
XG, whose all-Japanese lineup recently made history as the first to close out a stage at the world-renowned Coachella 2025, continue to prove their cross-genre “X-POP” with songs built entirely on English lyrics since their debut, showcasing exceptional rap, vocal, and dance skills across the board.
The track we’re highlighting, “IS THIS LOVE,” is included on their mini-album AWE released in November 2024; it was later released as a single with an accompanying music video.
It’s a standout song with a mellow yet cool beat that lets you fully savor their vocal prowess.
The melodious rap and the soaring beauty of the chorus are especially noteworthy, but to be honest, the fact that the lyrics are all in English makes it quite a high bar for karaoke.
The catchy chorus might not be too difficult if you stick to the main melody, but if you want to recreate XG’s signature harmonies and backing vocals, try singing with multiple people and divide the parts according to each person’s strengths.
My Sweet Darlin’Hitomi Yaida
This song captivates with a friendly, catchy melody and lyrics that honestly express a woman in love.
Included on the album “daydream,” it was released in October 2000 and was also featured in a commercial for Nikon’s COOLPIX 880.
The repeated phrase “Darling” in the chorus is particularly memorable and lingers with listeners.
It’s a great choice for karaoke, as it lets you convey the feelings of a lovestruck girl—perfect to sing with someone special.
Packed with Hitomi Yaida’s charm, this track is sure to resonate with your heart!
crescent moonAyaka
Ayaka, who suddenly made the disease name “Basedow’s disease” widely known.
It’s an illness in which the hormone balance is disrupted.
It seems to be a condition that can make you mentally unstable and, in severe cases, lead to depression, yet despite such an illness she continues to showcase her wonderful singing ability.
Sounds goodM!LK
This is a M!LK song filled with a positive message about embracing your true self just as you are.
Set to an upbeat, forward-looking track, the warm vocals gently envelop the anxieties and worries everyone carries, resonating deeply with the listener.
Released in February as an advance single from the album “M!Ⅹ,” which is slated for March 2025, the song builds a world brimming with positive energy alongside a refined dance performance that highlights each member’s individuality.
It’s the perfect track for moments when your self-confidence wavers or when you want to give someone a supportive nudge.
It also shines at karaoke—sing it with feeling, and it becomes a wonderful song that stays close to the listener’s heart.
Lights Out feat. Jeremy QuartusNulbarich
Nulbarich is a band that’s gained popularity for its stylish musicality.
Centered around Black music such as R&B and neo-soul, their refined sound has earned high praise even from hardcore music enthusiasts.
Among Nulbarich’s tracks, one I particularly recommend is “Lights Out feat.
Jeremy Quartus.” While it has a Western pop feel, the vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s very singable even in the original key.
bergamotSora Tomonari
Sora Tomonari is a singer-songwriter who enjoys overwhelming popularity among young people.
His voice is characterized by a low register with a hint of youthfulness, and his downbeat musical style has produced many hit songs to date.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Bergamot.
With a groove-driven, stylish vocal line, the song’s range is set quite narrowly.
Depending on your vocal range, it may be a song that’s easy to sing an octave higher.
BuddhaRADWIMPS
When I first listened to this, it hit me like a shock.
I was in my second year of junior high at the time, right in the middle of adolescence, and I hardly went to school.
Then I came across this song, and everything changed.
I became stronger, felt like something had been lifted, and I gradually started being able to go to school again.
