RIP SLYME – Rakuen Baby

This is the song I want a group of guys of the same generation to sing when we go to karaoke! Speaking of RIP SLYME, people in their late twenties are probably the exact target generation, right? Among their songs, “Rakuen Baby” is one of their signature tracks and is very well-known.

The mic relay of nonstop rap throughout is memorable, and at karaoke you can take turns rapping the parts if you can handle them, which gets everyone hyped! Even if you’re not good at singing and always go off key, you can still have a blast with rap, so I highly recommend this song!

Hilcrhyme – “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter” Music Video

Hilcrhyme is a music duo that has gained popularity with a sound that fuses hip-hop beats and delicate textures.

Their major second single, “Shunkashuto,” landed numerous tie-ins and became the track that brought the name Hilcrhyme to a wide audience.

As the title suggests, its message centers on the four seasons, emotionally portraying time spent with someone special.

It’s a hip-hop number with a relaxed shuffle beat that feels great—one that men in their twenties, the group’s generation, in particular will want to sing.

Unchanging ThingsHanako Oku68rank/position

[TokiKake] The Unchanging Things / Hanako Oku (Covered by Kobasolo & Kopi)

This is the coupling track to the single “Garnet.” Like “Garnet,” it was used as an insert song in the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Her clear, beautiful singing voice is one of her greatest charms, but the piano tones she plays are also indispensable when talking about Hanako Oku.

The poignant melodies she draws from the piano not only enhance the song itself, but also color the world of the film.

Its heartrending melody and rugged lyrics clumsily convey love.

In the most exciting chorus, sing as if you’re pouring out your emotions! Deliver it passionately, and you’re sure to draw some intense looks from the ladies!

Remioromen – Powder Snow

A delicate and ephemeral ballad by Remioromen that captures fragile emotions.

Set against a winter backdrop, this song portrays hearts passing by each other and feelings that fail to connect.

Released in November 2005, it drew widespread attention as an insert song for the drama “1 Litre of Tears.” Ryota Fujimaki’s transparent, pure vocals gently embrace the lyrics that seep into the heart.

The single debuted at No.

4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and has sold over 750,000 copies, becoming one of Remioromen’s signature songs.
