clownkei

Pierrot – KEI feat. Hatsune Miku

Thanks to its enduring popularity, this song even reached a million in 2017.

The version sung by Kashitaro Ito is also very well known.

With lyrics that say it’s okay to be honest and it’s okay to cry, it’s a track I hope you’ll sing when you’re feeling down.

The Boy of Defeatkemu

[HD] Defeated Boy [GUMI Original Song] - KEMU VOXX

This song by kemu, whose every uploaded track has hit a million views.

There’s also a cover version by Penguin Research—the band kemu participates in—available on YouTube.

It’s an uplifting track about chasing ideals but realizing that ordinary life brings the most happiness, and resolving to keep working hard, even if it’s gritty.

World’s End Dancehallwowaka

wowaka "World's End Dancehall" feat. Hatsune Miku & Megurine Luka

This song by wowakaP, who also performs as a member of Hitorie, creates a chemical reaction between its uptempo sound and lyrics that take a pessimistic stance toward the world, resulting in an addictive track.

At karaoke, it’s a great song to tackle solo, and it’s also fun to split the parts with someone else and sing together.

SarisinaharaMikito P

Mikito-P 'Sarishinohara' MV

A song that expresses the desire to touch the person you love, who has become an idol, like you used to, while also worrying, “I hope she isn’t feeling lonely in that new world.” Overall, it’s a bittersweet track, but it also portrays a single-minded devotion to her.

Recommended for karaoke when you go with a woman you’re interested in.

ParadichlorobenzeneOwata P

[official] Paradichlorobenzene feat. Owata-P (Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin)

A song by Owata-P, known for their comedic tracks.

It’s paired with Kagamine Rin’s “Anti-Chlorobenzene.” The song speaks of a Vocaloid’s struggle with the question, “What do I sing for?” Because the melody is gloomy, be mindful of the mood when you sing it!

Sand Planethachi

Hachi – Sand Planet feat. Hatsune Miku, HACHI – DUNE ft. Miku Hatsune

A song by Hachi, who is also active as Kenshi Yonezu.

Since it was included on an album released under the Kenshi Yonezu name, there’s a good chance even people who don’t listen to Vocaloid know it.

It’s also in a relatively comfortable key for male singers, making it a good choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.

15 Years of a Clingy Guy’s Petty ObsessionIe no ura de manbō ga shinderu P

Clingy Guy’s 15 Years of Petty Obsessedness / Sunfish Is Dead Behind My House P (Turn on subtitles; lyrics are available in other languages)

A ballad by “Ura-Omote-Love” (a.k.a.

Ie no Ura de Manbō ga Shinderu P), known for releasing numerous gag songs.

It starts with surreal, gag-like lyrics characteristic of Uraman-P, but in the latter half it suddenly transforms into a heartrending ballad.

Since it’s a bit on the long side, it might be wise to avoid choosing it when going to karaoke with someone for the first time.
