EverythingMISIA
This is the seventh single by MISIA, a female singer renowned not only in Japan but across Asia, whose solo performance of the national anthem “Kimigayo” at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2021 Olympics won worldwide acclaim.
Featured as the theme song for the TV drama “Yamato Nadeshiko,” the track is also known for achieving the highest sales among singles by female artists in the 2000s.
Moreover, because it lacks MISIA’s frequent use of whistle tones and extreme high notes, it has become a staple karaoke choice for women.
It’s a universally known number that anyone can enjoy, and a perfect first challenge for those who want to sing R&B.

Age Age Every KnightDJ OZMA
This “Age-Age EVERY Knight” is a cover/arrangement of Korean pop star DJ DOC’s “Run to You.” Just like the title “Age-Age” (meaning hyped-up), the content is a bit provocative and brimming with heat and flamboyance.
OZMA’s striking performance—singing passionately while completely naked—also drew attention.
With a sound that can only be described as frenzied, it’s the perfect track for when you want to go all out and have fun.
Matsuken Samba IIMatsudaira Ken
The song Matsuken Samba II, in which veteran actor Ken Matsudaira dresses as a feudal lord and sings and dances, brought laughter and attention to many people and helped fuel the Ken Matsudaira boom.
True to its samba title, its easygoing, unhurried melody is loved by people of all ages, with especially overwhelming support from older listeners.
It’s also a very handy song that works for business entertainment, solo karaoke, or singing with friends.
dearestFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama’s “Saiai,” which also served as the theme song for the film The Devotion of Suspect X, was released in 2009.
According to the artist, his image for the song was that of a requiem, and it conveys a gentle, enveloping atmosphere.
If you’re confident in your singing, keeping this as a showcase piece might just help you win a girl’s heart—it’s that kind of lovely number.
Let’s give up.Kahara Tomomi
It’s a song that could be called the original laid-back tune.
Just like the phrase “let’s give up,” you’ll find yourself feeling a strange mix of addiction and empathy toward its slow, relaxed melody.
Working hard in life is important, but sometimes “let’s give up” matters too.
It’s a song you’ll want to hum when you want to loosen up or relax.
