dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
When it comes to singing at karaoke, it’s reassuring to choose songs everyone knows.
Hitoto Yo’s signature song “Hanamizuki” is perfect for that.
It consistently ranks near the top of karaoke popularity charts and is a beloved, moving pop classic.
Most men know it too, so it’s great for duets.
It’s a reliable number to keep in your repertoire.
Since it’s a slow song, it works really well in the early part of the session before the crowd warms up!
Longing, bittersweet sadness, and strength of heartShinohara Ryōko
Produced by Tetsuya Komuro and sung by Ryoko Shinohara, the 1994 track “Itoshisa to Setsunasa to Kokorozuyosa to” is a smash-hit single that defined the 1990s.
It’s also known as an insert song for the film Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, released at the height of the Street Fighter game’s popularity—so it’s likely to have plenty of male fans as well! If you sing it at karaoke, be careful not to stumble, since it kicks off right away with a powerful chorus.
It’s a crowd-pleasing classic that colored the Heisei era.
Between the Sky and YouNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima is a singer-songwriter who holds the remarkable record of topping the singles chart across four decades, from the 1970s through the 2000s.
Her 31st single, “Between the Sky and You,” released as a double A-side with “Fight!,” became a million-selling hit as the theme song for the TV drama “Homeless Child,” which stirred up a nationwide social phenomenon.
The sentimental story woven by her trademark powerful vocals brings scenes from the drama vividly to mind just by listening.
It’s an emotional number that’s sure to turn heads when you sing it at karaoke.
Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako
This is the debut single released by Takako Matsu when she was 19, even though she had already established herself as a popular actress.
Released in 1997, it became a hit, and she performed the song at that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The lyrics were written by the renowned screenwriter Yuji Sakamoto, while Daisuke Hinata—active globally as a music producer and keyboardist—handled composition and arrangement.
It’s a light, springtime pop song that fills you with warmth just by listening.
Different from the stunning vocals she showcased in Frozen, Matsu’s fresh, youthful voice here is soothing to the heart.
It also brings back memories of Namie Amuro covering the song on a TV show at the time.
It’s very easy to sing, so relax and enjoy singing it without overthinking.
appearsHamasaki Ayumi
If you came of age in the late 1990s to early 2000s, there’s a good chance you looked up to Ayumi Hamasaki as a role model.
In Japan’s music scene, she ranks first among female solo artists in total CD sales, and with her charismatic presence—including her fashion—she sparked the “Ayu” boom.
Many of her songs feature soaring high tones one after another, which might make some people feel hesitant about singing them.
For those people, we recommend “appears,” released in 1999.
Compared to her other tracks, its melody has fewer wide interval jumps, so even those with lower voices will find it easier to sing at karaoke if they adjust the key.
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
It’s one of the iconic cheer-up songs of the 1990s, and surely there are many women who, even after turning 40, still find strength in it.
Released in 1995 as Mayu Okamoto’s debut single, “TOMORROW” was a massive hit, selling over two million copies.
Even in the Reiwa era, it remains a universally beloved anthem.
The melody, delivered with Okamoto’s straightforward and clear voice, is very easy to sing, and it doesn’t include the high-note sections typical of many hits from that time, so even those with lower voices can feel at ease.
Since the song overall has a bouncy rhythm, it’s good to sing it with crisp articulation while paying attention to the dynamics of the melodic accents.
