Japanese Song of the Week Chotto Matte Kudasai! by S/mileage
This week’s Japanese Song of the Week is Chotto Matte Kudasai! by S/mileage, which has debuted at number 6 on the Japanese J-Pop Oricon charts.
S/mileage (スマイレージ,) is a Japanese girl group under the Hello! Project umbrella. The group made their major label debut In 2010, and won the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist in 2010.
This song is the group's 9th single and is very cute, upbeat and happy.

Wow, this is crazy cool! So intense, too. I love the video and synchronized dancing. And I absolutely adore the outfits! Very cool... thanks for posting this :)
"Chotto", "matte" and "kudasai" are probably among my first Japanese words I started using actively (at least in my head ^^) since starting learning the language. Also "ne" and "kawaii", of course (-_-')
It is a great way to learn and makes it fun by mixing it up rather than studying the same old boring way all the time. I find that key myself to stay motivated you have to mix up what you are learning and the way you learn it.
Always loved that song but, hadn't realized this version was out and popular. Thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteThanks RyukyuMike, Interesting to hear that it is a famous song. Who originally sang it?

ReplyDeleteThanks Ekaterina, Yes, they are some handy and useful Japanese words. Have you ever tried using songs to help with learning Japanese?
ReplyDeleteDoing it all the time ^^ I learned a lot from Janne Da Arc's lyrics and songs from Sailor Moon ^^
