Cool songs that get the crowd going at karaoke (21–30)
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.
powder snowRemioromen
A masterpiece that beautifully depicts winter scenery.
Its delicate wording and moving melody are irresistible.
Released in November 2005, this song was used as an insert track for Fuji TV’s drama “1 Litre of Tears” and gained wide acclaim.
It’s also included on the albums “HORIZON” and “Remio Best.” Perfect for livening up a karaoke session—belt out the chorus with power to showcase stunning vocal ability.
Let your hidden feelings ride on your voice and captivate everyone around you.
Cool songs that will be a hit at karaoke (31–40)
Nameless PoemMr.Children
This is one of the songs I sing early on to get everyone hyped when I go to karaoke with friends or a partner.
It has a bright melody, but there’s also a hint of wistfulness—a real “man’s song.” Sakurai’s singing style is unique, so doing an impression when you sing it gets a pretty good reaction.
It’s a bit challenging, but it’s a song I’d love people to sing even from the listener’s perspective.
Dragon NightSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI, who are hugely popular among young people.
Among their songs, Dragon Night has a bright, upbeat, and pop vibe that really gets people going at karaoke—as you’ll notice if you try singing it yourself.
The lyrics also seem to raise questions about issues in our world, so it doesn’t create an awkward atmosphere when you sing it.
GET BACKyuzu
Speaking of Yuzu, it’s all about Iwasawa’s beautiful high harmonies on top and Kitagawa’s steady lower harmonies, right? Everyone’s probably thought at least once, “I want to try harmonizing to a Yuzu song!” Yuzu’s harmonies are relatively easy to pick out, so they’re satisfying to listen to and make a great entry point to try.
In GET BACK, Kitagawa comes in with the lower part right from the start—it sounds so cool! There are also call-and-response sections unique to the duo, and in the chorus they switch between unison and harmony, making it a really fun song to sing as a pair! Lower harmonies can be hard to hear and tricky at first, but try practicing with resources like YouTube.
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!
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.
