2000s: A Collection of Hit Karaoke Classics

When you think of hit songs from the 2000s, which tracks come to mind?

From bands and singers who had been active since the ’90s to groups that emerged in the 2000s, the music scene of the time was full of popular songs by a wide range of artists.

It was also an era when karaoke was extremely popular, so many people likely went to karaoke often with friends and colleagues.

In this article, we’ll introduce a roundup of songs from the 2000s that were big hits and especially popular at karaoke!

This is a great chance to try singing some of the songs that bring back memories from that time.

[2000s] A Collection of Hit Karaoke Classics (51–60)

Blue BenchSasuke

Sasuke’s “Blue Bench,” released in 2004, has been covered by artists like Tegomass and remains a beloved classic across generations.

It’s a poignant love song that brings back bittersweet memories of young romance.

You could call it a karaoke staple that everyone can hum along to.

Roco LotionORANGE RANGE

If you’re looking for a song that gets everyone shouting along, “Locolotion” is a great pick.

It’s a track released in 2004 by the rock band ORANGE RANGE.

The song depicts a romance between a handsome man and a beautiful woman set on the beach.

Enjoy its comedic storyline and summery vibe, and don’t forget to throw in some call-and-response.

Plus, the steady tempo makes it easy to sway to the rhythm and belt out the lyrics, which is part of its appeal.

if…DA PUMP

DA PUMP / if… (short ver.)
if...DA PUMP

This is the 12th single by the male dance and vocal group DA PUMP, whose massive 2018 hit “U.S.A.” is still fresh in our minds.

Known as the group’s biggest hit, it offers a cool arrangement with a lyrical melody and slick rap, setting it apart from DA PUMP’s signature party songs.

Many people of that generation probably remember arguing at karaoke over who would sing the vocal parts and who would take the rap.

It’s a hip-hop tune that’s become a post-2000 karaoke staple, with the way you enjoy it changing depending on who you go with.

Released in 2008, “Polyrhythm” charms listeners with its cute melody and choreography.

You might think Perfume’s songs are all high-pitched and difficult, but since they don’t require much vocal power, they’re recommended for girls who find it hard to sing loudly.

See you againSEAMO

Even if two people once loved each other, a relationship that’s been strained will never be the same again…

That tangled mix of feelings and missed connections between a man and a woman is what this song, “Mata Aimashou,” portrays.

It’s also the memorable track with which SEAMO, who had been smoldering in a slump at the time, rose again like a phoenix.

It’s not a song for couples to sing, but I think it’s perfect to sing with a close friend while reminiscing about the past.

I’ll buy you a juice ♥gurūpu damashii

Group Tamashii is a comic band that branched off from Otonakeikaku, led by Suzuki Matsuo.

It’s also famous for including big-name members like Sadao Abe and Kankuro Kudo.

Their song “I’ll Buy You Juice ❤” could be called the very essence of a comic band.

With lyrics brimming with humor that depict a freeloading guy’s confession and sloppiness, it’s a guaranteed laugh and a classic.

If you’re aiming for laughs, this is a nearly foolproof pick.

budKobukuro

Released as the theme song for Lily Franky’s original work Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad, this signature track cemented Kobukuro’s name.

Its passionate lyrics, which seem to declare that even after prolonged hardship and sorrow, the bud will surely bloom, possess a power that captivates listeners.

If you make it part of your repertoire, it will be a formidable weapon—such a song.
