For women in their 40s, many probably spent their youth with My Little Lover! Speaking of My Little Lover, “Hello, Again ~Mukashi Kara Aru Basho~” was a huge hit, but this song “Shiroi Kite (White Kite)” is also highly recommended for karaoke! Not only is it easy to sing, its cute, sparkling sound and refreshing melody are truly lovely.

I definitely want you to try singing it at summer karaoke! It’s a song that feels nostalgic, yet still resonates with how we feel today.
