Cool songs that get the crowd going at karaoke (21–30)
Until the World Ends…WANDS
A classic released on June 8, 1994, it became a huge hit as the second ending theme for the anime SLAM DUNK.
It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s especially popular among men at karaoke! When you actually try singing it, the tempo isn’t very fast, so any pitch deviations tend to stand out.
If you’re using scoring mode, it’s important to calmly track the pitch bar.
Also, for the long notes, not matching the pitch bar all the way to the end will cost you points.
If you sing with a grand, liberating feel—really letting your voice out—you’ll find your voice flows smoothly and comfortably.
In any case, it might be best to sing carefully right from the A melody!
countrysideTamaki Kōji
This work is notable for its melody that evokes both serenity and strength.
Released in July 1996, the song was also used as the theme for Fuji TV’s Thursday Theater series “Coach.” Koji Tamaki’s rich vocals and lyrics that speak to the importance of life resonate deeply.
Through everyday moments and interactions with people, it portrays the search for the meaning of living, offering listeners courage and encouragement.
If you sing it at karaoke, it will surely warm the hearts of those around you.
Why not sing it together and create some wonderful memories?
A Lump of LoveDOMOTO
Written and composed by the two DOMOTOs, this song is extremely popular with fans and appears on many best-of compilations.
In 2025, when KinKi Kids changed their credit to “DOMOTO,” a newly revised version with additional lyrics was released digitally! While it’s not a high-energy track in the sense of hyping up a karaoke room, choosing “Ai no Katamari” will definitely get people excited in a different way.
When you sing it, I recommend performing it as a duo with harmonies—the key is how beautifully you can deliver Koichi’s harmony part.
It’s a song that’s sure to capture listeners’ hearts, so find a partner and give it some practice!
Curtain callYuuri
The opening theme song for Cour 2 of Season 7 of the TV anime My Hero Academia.
It’s a challenge-style rock ballad where a sense of speed and stable high notes are the key to a high score! The overall vocal range is E3–A4, a range you can belt comfortably in chest voice.
The tricky part of Curtain Call is the C-melody section where you need to sing lightly.
While most of the song is sung powerfully in chest voice, Yuuri’s technique of suddenly softening the voice is used here.
How you handle this spot is important.
Since the melody line is sung phrase by phrase, don’t let it flow the same way throughout—sing each phrase clearly and deliberately.
That way, the falsetto parts will also come across more distinctly.
If you place each phrase one by one, you can sing more carefully.
Keep that in mind and give it a try!
All’s well that ends well.kocchi no kento
This is a song released on April 8, 2025, created as the opening theme for the TV anime “Vigilante: My Hero Academia ILLEGALS.” It’s an up-tempo rock number that depicts a hero’s inner conflict and rebirth, making it a perfect karaoke practice song for improving rhythm, diction, and emotional expression! The real challenge is how well you can memorize the lyrics and keep up with the tempo.
As you listen, you’ll notice that Kento sings quite clearly and crisply, right? Not everything is delivered crisply, of course—this is where contrast and dynamics come into play.
First, I’d like you to feel the beat by clapping your hands or moving your body, and think about where to place the accents to make it easier to sing.
I recommend accenting the downbeat—the first beat.
ultra soulB’z
It’s upbeat, and it’s probably a song everyone has heard at least once—and maybe even hummed along to.
The highlight of this track is the lyrics right before the end of the chorus, where everyone present feels their hearts become one.
Be sure to do it in style and get the crowd fired up!
KanadeSukima Suichi
This song is characterized by poignant lyrics and a melody that resonates deeply.
Centered on themes of parting, growth, and bonds, it captures the many emotions felt through saying goodbye to someone important.
Released in June 2004, it was featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and used as the theme song for the drama “Sotsu Uta.” As one of Sukima Switch’s signature tracks, it continues to be loved by many.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to on a long autumn night when someone special comes to mind.
At karaoke, singing it with feeling will deliver a powerful performance that touches those around you.
It’s also recommended when you want to convey warmth.
