Cool songs that go over well at karaoke (61–70)
ROSEHANA
In 2025, HANA—a seven-member female group that could well be called one of the year’s most talked-about acts—burst onto the scene.
Produced by CHANMINA, their fluid movement between hip-hop and R&B, paired with world-class sound quality, made a powerful impact both in Japan and abroad.
Their debut track “ROSE,” released in April 2025, was an undeniable hit, racking up 15 million views on YouTube within three weeks and showcasing the immense potential of all seven members.
With a firm “no lip-syncing” policy, their talent is obvious from the official live performances available—though of course, attempting their songs at karaoke will demand a comparable level of vocal skill.
From robust, R&B-inflected vocals that soar across high and low registers to razor-sharp rap, if you and your confident singer friends can pull off a faithful recreation, you’ll undoubtedly be the stars of the night at karaoke!
Lights Off (feat. Natori)TAKU INOUE
Lights Off (feat.
natori) is a collaboration between music producer TAKU INOUE, known for his sophisticated compositions, and singer-songwriter natori, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
Speaking of natori, his distinctive low voice with a hint of youthfulness leaves a strong impression.
That vocal quality is fully utilized in this track as well, with most of the song built around the mid-to-low register.
There are occasional higher phrases that appear as accents, sharpening the contrast with the lower tones and further enhancing the appeal of a low male voice.
Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy
SAKAMOTO DAYS is one of the most talked-about anime right now.
Its theme song, Hashire SAKAMOTO, is among Vaundy’s loudest and most hard-hitting tracks.
While the overall range isn’t exactly narrow, the vocal line drops significantly in the chorus, and the pre-chorus build doesn’t require the kind of height that calls for mixed voice.
That makes it perfect for men with lower voices.
It’s not just easy to sing—this song also lets low-voiced singers showcase the thickness and richness unique to their timbre, so it’s well worth adding to your repertoire.
DRESSING ROOMnatori
Born in 2003, Natori began posting songs on TikTok in his teens, and his 2022 release “Overdose” became a massive viral hit that quickly raised his profile as a much-anticipated singer-songwriter.
Whether it’s a stylish city-pop-inspired track or an intense, rock-tinged number, his unique low register—rich with a distinctive allure—anchors his vocals and melodies, creating a world that’s unmistakably his.
For those who want to sing like Natori, I recommend “DRESSING ROOM,” released in February 2025.
It’s a chic track with a characteristically danceable, groovy production and sultry melodies—perfect for a nighttime drive.
Because the pitch sits low, it’s especially great for people who struggle with high notes and want to give it a try.
The rapid phrasing and the way the lyrics fit the melody, as well as the rhythmic feel, aren’t exactly easy, but if you listen to the original repeatedly and let both the melody and rhythm sink into your body, you’ll be well-prepared for the performance!
The Fourth Avenue CafeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
It’s a song included on L’Arc-en-Ciel’s mid-period album “True.” People often say every track on this album is a masterpiece, and this is one I personally like among them.
The lyrics are about thinking of a beautiful woman seen at a café, and the tune is refreshing, so it’s well received when I sing it while with a girl.
D.O.D.hide
This is a song from X JAPAN’s hide during his solo career.
D.O.D.
stands for “Drink or Die,” which in Japanese means to drink or die.
It’s a crazy track, but since karaoke and alcohol go hand in hand, it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.
The guitar parts are incredibly cool.
planetariumOtsuka Ai
From the beginning to the end of the song, the melody is wistful and stirs a sense of longing, but when you sing “Planetarium,” it’s also a song that can really bring a mixer or a wedding’s after-parties (second or third gatherings) to a close, serving as a moment to showcase femininity.
