Cool songs that go over well at karaoke (11–20)
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
This song is memorable for Masaki Suda’s powerful vocals.
Released in February 2018 as the theme song for the drama “Todome no Kiss” starring Kento Yamazaki, it became so popular that it earned a Gold certification for paid music downloads.
The lyrics, reflecting the drama’s themes, are imbued with feelings of loneliness and farewell.
With relatable imagery—like comparing the gloom of days when kindness feels tainted to a crowded commuter train—the song resonates deeply with listeners.
If you sing it at karaoke, focus on building up the chorus and pour your emotions into it.
It’s a great choice to perform when you’re having fun with friends or coworkers.
SenbonzakuraKurousa-P
A quintessential Vocaloid song—the king of kings! It’s an incredibly cool and wonderful track, also famous for Wagakki Band’s cover.
The tempo is so fast it could be called intense, and the beautiful piano tones will turn a small karaoke room into a live stage.
FAKE STYLEFAKE TYPE.
A signature song that could be called the origin of FAKE TYPE., where electroswing collides with ultra-fast rap! If you can nail it at karaoke, you’ll definitely earn the title of Tongue-Twister Monster! There’s no official tie-in, but it went viral on YouTube and Nico Nico Douga, boosting its popularity.
It fuses retro and modern elements, creating a unique world where a swing-jazz-style track is layered with ultra-speed rap and humor.
When singing, you’ll be tested on breath control for the nonstop fast rap, enunciation, sense of rhythm, and lyric memorization.
It’s packed with an enormous number of words, so focus on accents to keep your mouth moving smoothly!
Big wrong answerback number
This is the theme song of the movie “Gintama 2: Rules Are Made to Be Broken,” and it’s one of the standout rock tracks in back number’s catalog.
Listening to this song will make you think, “So back number can really do rock, too!” The overall vocal range sits between C3 and G#4, which is very comfortable for male singers, making it super easy to get into the groove.
In the opening phrase, the backing drops out for a moment right as the vocals come in—if you nail that first entrance, it feels amazing to sing.
Also, the drums have a distinctive pattern; if you pay attention to them while singing, it’ll help your body lock into the finer rhythms and make it even easier to perform.
Brain Narcotics Remix feat. CHEHON, MAKA, Ku-Jun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keithRAY
The track “Nounai Mayaku Remix feat.
CHEHON, MAKA, Kujun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keith” is currently blowing up in the hip-hop and reggae scenes.
Born from DJ RAY’s entry into the battle scene, it features verses that transcend the boundaries between hip-hop and reggae.
The hook in this piece has a very narrow vocal range by RAY’s standards, so many people should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.
Heads, be sure to add it to your repertoire.
VanillaGACKT
It was GACKT’s second single and one of his signature songs.
It’s characterized by sexual, provocative lyrics and a distinctive sound that incorporates ska rhythms.
It reportedly reached No.
4 on the Oricon weekly chart and sold about 250,000 copies.
It might be hard to imagine for people who mainly know songs from the Reiwa era, but GACKT has a very wide vocal range and outstanding singing ability.
In Vanilla, the range spans B2 to C5, so many people actually trying to sing it will probably think, “It’s low and it’s high!” The tempo is fast, and the key modulates in the final chorus, pushing the pitch even higher, so it may be tough to nail on a first try.
Make sure to resonate solidly in your chest so you can sing it powerfully!
Cool songs that get the crowd going at karaoke (21–30)
Charisma of ArroganceUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
The opening theme song for the anime “Blue Lock VS.
U-20 JAPAN”! It’s an aggressive track with blistering rock and provocative lyrics that really shine at karaoke.
Speaking of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, it’s all about Saito’s high tones, right? The key is how effortlessly you can hit those highs and how much you can enjoy singing them.
Since it’s the fast-tempo “Boujaku no Charisma,” breath timing is tricky and your ability to keep steady rhythm will be tested.
There are parts that don’t follow a standard rhythm, so it’s probably best to memorize each melody section.
Make sure to listen closely to the backing instruments and lock in the rhythm!
