Cool songs that kill at karaoke (131–140)
SEASONSHamasaki Ayumi
A song by Ayumi Hamasaki that portrays overcoming past hardships and finding hope for the future through the changing seasons.
Released in June 2000, it was used as the theme song for the drama “Weather Forecaster’s Lover.” It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart for two consecutive weeks and also ranked highly on the year-end charts, becoming a major hit with total sales of 1.367 million copies.
While expressing the sense of insufficiency felt in the monotony of everyday life and the urge to give up, it carries a positive message.
If you sing it at karaoke, pouring emotion into your performance will make its appeal stand out even more.
StarlightShimizu Shota
It’s a ballad I’d love to hear in winter.
If someone sang a song like this with a sweet voice in a closed room, I’d fall for them.
I really like the background music too.
Whether it’s that person you’re interested in or a couple whose relationship is getting a bit stale, I’d love for the boyfriend to sing it to her in a manly way.
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.
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.
