Cool songs that will hit at karaoke (121–130)
RainHata Motohiro
This is the theme song of the animated film The Garden of Words.
It’s a track I’d like to dedicate to those who feel stifled even though they want to take action.
It’s sure to give you the push to say, “All right, let’s do this!” and take that first step.
Since its theme is rain, singing it in June might even lift your spirits.
DarlingNishino Kana
These are recommended songs for after-parties, such as the second round of a group date.
For example, if there’s a woman who finds a man she’s interested in among the group, I highly recommend choosing Kana Nishino’s “Darling.” If she sings this, the man will instantly be captivated.
Suddenly, SinbadSazan Ōrusutāzu
Set against a summer seaside backdrop, this debut single by Southern All Stars depicts romantic mind games with a breezy rhythm.
Released in August 1978, the song pays homage to popular tracks of the era.
The call-and-response chorus—“What time is it now?”—is guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session! Its refreshing sound evokes the Shonan coast, and Kuwata’s distinctive vocals are a major draw.
Sing this at karaoke with friends or coworkers, and the vibe will instantly lift.
Sway together as you sing, and your everyday stress is sure to melt away!
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie
A wedding song that needs no introduction—the ultimate classic! I remember practicing because the “la la la la la~” part in the instrumental between the opening chorus and the A verse of Namie Amuro’s “CAN YOU CELEBRATE?” was a bit tricky to pitch.
Cool songs that kill at karaoke (131–140)
BaroqueMALICE MIZER
Tastes may vary, but I think those who like it will absolutely love this song.
As the title “Baroque” suggests, it’s rock music with a classical vibe.
It’s a hidden gem from before GACKT joined, so it’s surprisingly not very well known.
Love Never Felt So GoodMichael Jackson, Justin Timberlake
It’s a song that was made after Michael passed away.
As a tribute, I’d love for Michael’s fans to sing it.
Justin Timberlake from NSYNC also sings on it.
It’s a pop song, but it’s not noisy, and I like it.
Eternal SnowSkoop On Somebody
This might be my favorite ballad of all.
My dad, who loves R&B, introduced me to this song, and we even sing it together sometimes.
It might work well if a woman takes the high parts and a man leads the lower parts that are hard to reach.
Singing it with multiple harmonized choruses sounds fun, too.
