My Sweet Darlin’Yaita Hitomi
This song captivates with a friendly, catchy melody and lyrics that honestly express a woman in love.
Included on the album “daydream,” it was released in October 2000 and was also featured in a commercial for Nikon’s COOLPIX 880.
The repeated phrase “Darling” in the chorus is particularly memorable and lingers with listeners.
It’s a great choice for karaoke, as it lets you convey the feelings of a lovestruck girl—perfect to sing with someone special.

crescent moonayaka
Ayaka, who suddenly made the disease name “Basedow’s disease” widely known.
It’s an illness in which the hormone balance is disrupted.
It seems to be a condition that can make you mentally unstable and, in severe cases, lead to depression, yet despite such an illness she continues to showcase her wonderful singing ability.
chantAdo
It’s the official theme song of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event—the one that became famous for the zombie dance! It’s an extremely challenging song packed with high-pitched shouts, low, spoken parts, and rap-like sections.
I learned it together with my students during lessons, too! Of course, once you can sing it well, it’s incredibly fun and satisfying! Some of the lyrics use difficult words, so I recommend listening to the original and memorizing them carefully one by one.
The tempo is very fast and you have to keep singing one line after another, but if you push too hard, you can wreck your throat, and if you hold back too much, it loses impact.
If you use your breath well and project your falsetto strongly, you can sing with a cool, powerful tone! Also, since it’s a dance track, once you feel more comfortable, try moving your body or swaying as you sing—you’ll lock into the rhythm, your voice will come out more easily, and it’ll be easier to add accents!
BuddhaRADWIMPS
When I first listened to this, it hit me like a shock.
I was in my second year of junior high at the time, right in the middle of adolescence, and I hardly went to school.
Then I came across this song, and everything changed.
I became stronger, felt like something had been lifted, and I gradually started being able to go to school again.
Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy
A heartfelt song from Vaundy that everyone will want to sing together at karaoke! This track makes that wish come true.
The lyrics evoke lost time, longing for the past, and the bonds between people.
Released in May 2020, it was featured as the CM song for Maruha Nichiro’s WILDish series.
Created with live performances in mind, it became a symbolic anthem of the live music scene that emerged after overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sing it at karaoke with friends or coworkers, and it’s sure to liven up the atmosphere! Practice well and perform it confidently in front of everyone.
Rusty NailX JAPAN
Among X JAPAN’s songs, this one is relatively easy to sing.
The lyrics, themed around heartbreak and melancholy, express the determination to move forward despite the pain of past wounds.
Released in July 1994, the track reached No.
1 on the Oricon chart and became a major hit, staying on the charts for 20 weeks.
While X JAPAN has many thrash metal-style songs, this work is a comparatively restrained rock number.
It’s characterized by powerful guitar riffs and a dramatic progression, and it features an emotional guitar solo in the middle.
If you sing it at karaoke, the key is to pour your feelings into it.
If you can convey the strong resolve to overcome deep sorrow and despair, it will surely resonate with those around you.
