I have to choose a Japanese song for Class
 

Hey, I have to sing a Japanese song for my final and I get to choose the song.

What would be a cool song to do in front of the class and impress my Japanese teacher?

I can memorize just about anything. I don't want it to be too cheesy like ippon demo ninjin but something she knows and would definatly make me pass.

i remember that i took a "french" class in high school and we had to do something similar to this.

everyone were to choose a french song, but the weird thing is,, everyone ends up choosing an english (american) song instead. xP

Go authentic with this.

You should stop singing it.
It is a song of a specific newly-formed religious group in Japan.

choose the tottoro song. i even heard 2 kids singing it randomly at the mall in tokyo waiting for the elevator, i chuckled because it was the only song i could identify without the music playing.

I recommend pretty much anything from みんなのうた in the 1980s. Most of the songs are simple, and chances are your teacher will know them all.

For example;
YouTube - メトロポリタンミュージアム
YouTube - 真っ暗森の歌
YouTube - ラジャ・マハラジャ

etc etc

Possibly not at all familiar to your teacher, but a personal favorite of mine is るるるの歌.
Seriously, I love them and end up turning the tv up whenever any of them are on.

Regular version;
YouTube - るるるの歌
Birth version;
YouTube - るるるの歌 おとこオオカミ編
Future version (currently running);
YouTube - るるるの歌～未来編～

Wow I love it, thanks for introducing me to it! I also have a suggestion..

Pikmin - Ai no Uta (YouTube - Pikmin - Ai no Uta (English Lyrics)) its slow pace sounds good
