Horizontal Fancam | Vertical Fancam

so i’ve compiled a REALLY long list of songs for a gfriend fan who wants to get into jpop, and since it’s so long i decided to make it a post too in case others are interested. it’s so long bc i got excited for this question as a former gfriend fan who became a huge jpop fan 😭

i included both the japanese script and the romaji for many of them that i felt might’ve needed that, in case the titles are written differently depending on the streaming platform you use to make them easier to find. i’ve also added youtube links if that helps!!
