● You can listen to recent Japanese songs on the video site!

Not long ago, I had to buy a CD if I wanted to listen to songs that are popular in Japan. Also, Japanese CDs were sometimes not sold abroad.


But now, you can listen to Japanese songs on Japanese video sites such as YouTube. Listen to what says "official" in the title or video channel. If you can support your favorite singer and learn your favorite Japanese songs, you will gain confidence when studying Japanese.


Even in Japanese Japanese schools, many people who like Japanese songs try to talk with Japanese teachers in Japanese. If you talk a lot with Japanese people in Japanese, your conversation ability will improve.

Yuri is a Japanese male singer. On the YouTube channel "THE FIRST TAKE", which many people are paying attention to, he sang the song "Dried Flower", which is only for video distribution, and became a hit. In "THE FIRST TAKE", various singers sing their own songs, but the shooting is only once. It's a channel that makes you feel like you're actually in a concert.


"Dried flower" is a song of broken heart. If you are interested in listening to "Dried Flower", please also listen to Yuuri's debut song "Kakurenbo". The content is connected to "dried flowers".

Last year, the song "Usseewa" became a hit and became a buzzword. "Usseewa" is a younger's word for "noisy."


A female singer named Ado is singing. She was born in 2002 and has been watching VOCALOID on her computer since she was a child. When I was a high school student, I made my debut by publishing my Vocaloid song on a video site.


The popular song of "Ado" is "Odo". As the meaning of the Chinese characters, it is a song with a bright rhythm that makes you want to dance, and it is easy to remember.

Nowadays, more and more singers like Ado are singing without showing their faces in Japan. Please check it.


● Love Letter (YOASOBI)

Official Music Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnta9Pp2LqA/


A song "Love Letter" based on a letter from a sixth grader listening to the radio. When I listen to it, I can feel the feeling of "thank you" for the music.


YOASOBI is a music group of two men and women who also publish songs based on novels. The songs that are announced are often sung with English lyrics, and the melody is very natural even in English.

Some of YOASOBI's songs can also be heard in English if you think "I don't understand the meaning of the Japanese lyrics".


The English song for "Love Letter" has not been released yet, but it may be seen someday. First, let's enjoy it in Japanese.

● If you learn a song, you will gain confidence in speaking Japanese.

You can see all the songs introduced on the official YouTube channel. While enjoying the song, you should be able to think "I also want to speak in Japanese". If you get tired of studying Japanese, please ask.
