A song by Aimyon that delicately portrays both the joy and the heartache of love.
It layers the fleeting yet beautiful feelings of romance onto the language of flowers for marigolds.
With a gentle melody, it weaves scenes of intimate moments with a lover and the belief that hearts remain connected even when apart.
Released in August 2018, the song captivated many, becoming the first by a domestic artist to surpass 100 million streams.

My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS12rank/position
A song that became a hot topic as the theme for the film “Your Name,” which sparked a nationwide boom.
Since RADWIMPS is a band that has long been popular among college students, they have plenty of other songs that really hype things up! That said, ‘Zenzenzense’ is a track that even non-fans definitely know, so it’s perfect for karaoke.
OverdoseNatori13rank/position
Overdose, Nat(s)ori’s signature song with an impressive languid vibe.
The piece maintains a downer mood throughout, so the high parts are intentionally kept restrained.
Falsetto does appear, but it’s not used because the notes are high; it’s a deliberate stylistic choice.
So if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, singing those parts in chest voice is totally fine.
Whispery vocals sound cool on this track, but overdoing it can come off as narcissistic, so keep that in mind when you sing (lol).
EdisonWednesday Campanella14rank/position
Wednesday Campanella is a musical unit that earns high praise not only from the general public but also from hardcore music aficionados, thanks to their unique lyrics and high-sense house music.
Their track Edison, released in 2022, became a nationwide hit through platforms like TikTok.
As it’s house music, the track itself remains the star, which naturally lowers the difficulty of the vocals.
There are no particularly high parts, so as long as you can keep your pitch steady, anyone should be able to sing it well.
