BLACKPINK, the K-pop girl group that became hugely popular in the United States, has also captivated young audiences in Japan.

Their song “STAY” is a rare gem among their tracks, featuring a lovely, acoustic-centered sound.

If you settle into the laid-back rhythm, you can sing it with just the right amount of cool.

Jisoo and Rosé’s beautiful vocals, along with Jennie and Lisa’s powerful rap, showcase a side of them that’s not just cute but undeniably cool.

There’s a part where the members sing “la la la la~” together—if everyone joins in, it really amps up the energy.

Try it out with your friends (haha)!

A track by Tones and I that topped the charts in 13 countries, including her home country of Australia as well as the UK and Canada.

It features her distinctive, slightly husky vocals and a melody that conveys a curious, otherworldly vibe.

The lyrics depict her time as a street performer, and when you read a Japanese translation, the connection to the title becomes clear.

It’s not a bright, upbeat number, but if you sing this uniquely immersive song at karaoke, its stick-in-your-head quality might just win her more and more addicts.

As expected, Ed Sheeran’s vocals are really cool.

Since the song starts straight off with the vocals, make sure you don’t stumble at the very beginning.

It’s a track that progresses with simple accompaniment, so if the vocals are weak, it might not really shine.

On the other hand, if you can sing with expressive dynamics like Ed Sheeran and bring out the flavor, I think it can become an outstanding song.

Just The Way You AreBruno Mars

When you go to karaoke with someone special, the song I want you to sing is “Just The Way You Are.” Released by Bruno Mars in 2010, it’s a track whose charm lies in its melody overflowing with happiness.

Within its hip-hop-based arrangement, you can feel elements of R&B and funk, which really showcases his multifaceted talent.

If you practice while looking up the meaning of the lyrics, you’ll notice the song’s appeal even more.

When you want to express your honest feelings to a lover or someone you like, try singing this song with all your heart.

Justin Bieber’s 2020 track “Yummy” is super sexy despite its cute-sounding title, isn’t it? If you can pull this one off at karaoke, it’s guaranteed to hype the crowd and look really cool.

That said, it’s an ultra-sweet love song that really comes together because of Justin’s distinctive vocals—so if someone claims they can sing it cool, I’d love to hear it at least once!

HonestyBilly Joel

It begins with a wistful piano melody, and Billy Joel’s gentle vocals resonate deeply—an unforgettable classic.

In a world overflowing with insincerity, the lyrics seek honesty despite the difficulty, striking a chord with many listeners.

In Japan, numerous artists have covered the song, bringing it to many ears.

Though it isn’t a lively pop tune, singing its heartfelt passion—woven into a tender melody—at karaoke can warm listeners’ hearts and liven up the room.

What Do You Mean?Justin Bieber

The song’s image is of a man being completely led around by his girlfriend.

It’s packed with phrases that many men will relate to as “so true.” It portrays the feelings of a man bewildered by a woman’s fickle words and actions—like the saying “a woman’s heart and the autumn sky.” The lyrics are in English since it’s a Western-style song, but there aren’t many difficult expressions, so it seems easy to sing.
