MOMOLAND「I’m So Hot -Japanese ver.-」

Here is the Japanese-version single of a track from MOMOLAND’s 2019 comeback album “Show Me.” When it comes to MOMOLAND, their slightly old-school songcraft and easy-to-follow point choreography are strangely addictive, right? This one also lives up to those expectations—a track you can put on infinite repeat.

By the way, due to circumstances, Taeha and Daisy did not participate, so the comeback was with seven members.

This is their third Japanese single, released in March 2019.

It features a passionate, sophisticated atmosphere that incorporates elements of J-pop, dance-pop, and tango.

With a familiar, accessible melody, it’s easy to try at karaoke.

It’s also a great pick to liven up a karaoke outing with someone you’re interested in, as it heightens romantic feelings!

LATATA(G)I-DLE

(G)I-DLE – 「LATATA」(Japanese ver.) MUSIC VIDEO

(G)I-DLE is a girl group known for its strong self-produced style.

It’s pronounced “jee idol.” Their track LATATA, released in 2018, features a somewhat Latin-influenced rhythm.

The pitch movement in the hook is relatively gentle, and most of the low-register sections are rap parts, so the range may feel narrower than the actual vocal range.

If you want a song that combines coolness with an infectious groove to hype up a karaoke session, be sure to add this one to your repertoire.

Set to powerful lyrics, it’s a perfect choice for letting your emotions run free and belting it out with friends.

TWICE “TT” M/V

At this point, adding more words in a review almost feels embarrassing—doesn’t it need no further explanation? This is the song that sparked the huge craze for the “TT pose,” mimicking the crying emoji.

Along with this track, TWICE’s recognition in Japan shot up.

The Japanese version, with its “Why don’t you notice my feelings…?” vibe, is exceptionally cute.

It’s a song you can enjoy in both the Korean and Japanese lyrics.

And of course, don’t forget the TT pose when you sing it at karaoke!

DolphinOH MY GIRL

오마이걸(OH MY GIRL)_Dolphin – Special Clip @따따따따🌀 물보라를 일으켜〰🐬💦

OH MY GIRL debuted in 2015 as an eight-member idol group.

After member JinE left, they have continued activities as a seven-member group.

Their song “Dolphin,” known for its catchy repeated ‘da’ in the chorus, is guaranteed to get the crowd going at karaoke.

The story-like music video—where they wander around searching for a golden apple or something—has an irresistibly cute, feel-good vibe.

It’s a must-see.

They haven’t toured in Japan since 2019, so fans and non-fans alike are eagerly waiting!

YES or YESTwice

[Show Champion] 트와이스 – YES or YES (TWICE – YES or YES) l EP.291

The lead track from the mini-album of the same name released in 2018.

The way they sing and dance is incredibly cool! It ranked 3rd on JOYSOUND’s K-pop karaoke chart in 2019.

With its popping rhythm and flowing melody, it’s a song that just makes you feel happy.

A cute confession that demands an answer—but “YES” is the only option (lol).

It really feels like it gives you a push in all the right ways! It’s a top pick for hyping up the mood, and it’s perfect for dates too.
