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.

It’d be cool to be able to sing a slick EDM track, right? But I think many people find fast-tempo Western songs hard to sing.

That’s why I want to introduce “Desire.” It’s a collaboration between Scottish music producer Calvin Harris and British singer Sam Smith.

It’s danceable yet mid-tempo, so even those who aren’t confident in English should find it easier to try.

Plus, the message behind the song is perfect for when you want to get hyped.

It conveys a positive message and a sense of self-expression through music.

Pay attention to the brand names and ironic turns of phrase in the lyrics.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the British pop band.

Among their songs, “Two Tribes” is especially beloved by fans.

At first glance, it sounds like an upbeat EDM track.

However, its lyrics carry a wish for peace.

Rather than delivering the message straightforwardly, though, the words and vocals are laced with irony.

Try to keep that nuance in mind when you sing it.

Also, the music video sparked a lot of buzz, so it’s a good idea to check it out in advance.

There are always certain songs that people with good singing voices tend to get requested to perform, no matter the era, right? Jake’s masterpiece “golden hour” is a song that’s frequently requested of strong singers overseas.

Its biggest charm is, without a doubt, the chorus.

It starts with a dreamy intro, gradually builds the voltage, and then unfolds into a chorus that’s both ethereal and grand in its melody.

This structure leaves a strong impression and offers plenty of vocal showcase moments, making it a perfect choice for karaoke.
