Kohana Lam began her music career via her YouTube channel in September 2019. Her ‘While crying’ and ‘With A Lot of Emotion’ cover video series became instant hits. Notably, her video titled ‘I sang “Kokoronashi” while crying, Piano Arrange cover’ has racked up nearly 13 million views alone.
Recently, the singer even held a solo birthday concert at Tokyo venue Zepp Shinjuku in October, and gave her first overseas live performance in November. In a special YouTube livestream to mark the third anniversary of her major label debut, she also unveiled a cute new avatar, declaring that she would attempt take on a wider range of genres.
True to her word, her latest song ‘Have a Good Game!!’ features the Internet sensation rapping for the very first time. The song is about leveling up in life, drawing upon motifs based on her hobby of video games. The lyrics and music were written by SAKURAmoti - a rising musician who previously collaborated with Minami from MAISONdes on the song ‘aiue’, which was used as the opening theme song for the anime series Urusei Yatsura.
"As a gamer myself, it was fun to create this song, which is filled with videogame-related references! Games are great because they challenge you to level up in the face of strong opponents and tough achievements," SAKURAmoti shares. "I tried to express this in the song, while also touching on life themes and Kohana Lam’s artistic pursuits. The melody is fast and quite difficult, but she totally crushed it – check it out! “For everyone who is working hard day by day, this song has your back! GL (good luck)!”
