Back Number – Hanako-san on a High Pedestal

Contrary to the desire to meet, this back number song vividly evokes a man fretting over the distance between him and the person he likes.

Many people relate to the earnest lyrics that, while self-deprecatingly assuming he doesn’t stand a chance, still wish for a miraculous encounter.

Released in June 2013, the track is captivating for its contrast between a sense of driving speed and an awkward, tender love.

It was later used in a Kirin Beer commercial, so the melody should be familiar to everyone.

Sing it at karaoke and listeners will be drawn in by its straightforward emotion.

Why not win over the heart of someone you’re interested in with a choice that’s a little different from the usual standards?

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

A catchy number by the popular girls’ band SHISHAMO that’s perfect for karaoke.

It’s super cute when girls sing it, and it’s a fun surprise when boys sing it too—double thumbs-up.

The song is also known as the CM song for NTT Docomo’s commercial “Docomo Student Discount ‘Shishamo?’ Edition,” so lots of people recognize it as soon as they hear it, which really gets the crowd going.

StoryAI

AI – Story

A song that was tied in with various commercials, including the CM song for RecoChoku’s “Room: AI” and Morinaga’s jelly drink Weider “The Power to Make Dreams Come True: Mao Asada.” The singer AI, known for her gorilla-like face, sang with overflowing gentleness, and that gap became a hot topic, leading to a big hit.

It really fires up the crowd when a gorilla-faced girl belts it out at karaoke.

Before LoveFINLANDS

FINLANDS - Before Love (Music Video)

It’s a love song by FINLANDS! Since it was selected as Tower Records’ “Tawarecommend” and HMV’s “Ei-chi Oshi,” many of you have probably heard it in various places.

If you sing the high notes in falsetto, it feels more like FINLANDS, so definitely give it a try at karaoke.

I can’t say goodbye.Ozawa Kenji

Kenji Ozawa – I Can’t Say Goodbye

This is the song that was used in the Morinaga “DARS” commercial and became the catalyst for Kenji Ozawa’s breakthrough.

If you try singing it while imitating Ozaken’s super cute prince-like vibe, you’ll definitely be popular.

Since Ozaken himself isn’t a great singer, it’s totally fine if you go off-pitch at karaoke.

It’s a charming song that’s easy to sing.

Go on staying transparent.BiSH

BiSH looking fresh in one-piece dresses: Full-length MV of “Kirin Lemon no Uta” released

This is a song from BiSH, the punkish idol group often teased as a “punk band without instruments,” created in collaboration with Kirin Lemon.

It’s an incredibly cool track that really makes you realize that any song takes on that distinct BiSH flavor when they sing it.

Highly recommended for karaoke—sing it while sipping Kirin Lemon and it’ll be a big hit.

This is a masterpiece song by SEX MACHINEGUNS, one of Japan’s most renowned metal bands, featured in the Miroku Information Service commercial.

SEX MACHINEGUNS are known for their exceptional musicianship, but if it’s just the vocals, it’s actually pretty easy to sing at karaoke.

If you practice and can at least do the death growl, you’ll be mostly fine.
