LAST CHRISTMAS

EXILE’s songs are hugely popular at karaoke, aren’t they? As the title suggests, “LAST CHRISTMAS” is perfect for the holiday season, but it’s also a slightly wistful, bittersweet number.

This track is a cover of the classic Christmas song released by Wham! in 1984.

Since the original is known across generations, it’s a great crowd-pleaser for karaoke when people of different ages get together.

And for those from the Wham! generation who feel they can’t sing the English original, this version might be just the thing!

Kai Band “Anna”

The Kai Band, known for hits like “HERO (Now Is the Time to Become a Hero).” Here’s a hit song they released in 1979.

Legend has it that the guitar in the intro was played by Shogo Hamada, who just happened to be there at the time.

As for the melody in the A section, there are parts that jump up an octave from time to time, so it will likely sound better if the tone and pitch are kept stable in those spots.

In the chorus, the pitches leap constantly, so try not to get too caught up in the lyrics and focus on maintaining accurate intonation.
