Oliver Tree, who’s active as both a musician and a comedian, has become a global star thanks to his breakout track “Life Goes On.” The song has gone viral across various social media platforms, including YouTube and TikTok.

Released in May 2023 by the American pop-rock band, this track is their first new song since “I Ain’t Worried,” which drew attention on the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack.

This song is an uplifting anthem about hope for a new life, and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
Musical YouthPass The Dutchie
Peaked at No.
10 in the U.S.
in 1983.
A band made up of 11- to 15-year-old kids.
Groups like these have come and gone from the idol-project scene from the past to the present, but they were a bit unusual because they played reggae—and were a proper band at that.
The original is said to be “Pass the Kouchie,” a hit by Jamaica’s Mighty Diamonds.
In the end, they were basically a one-hit wonder; they put out the next album and then broke up.
Still, whether it’s kids or adults, good music is good music.
Never Gonna Give You UpRick Astley
Rick Astley’s classic “Never Gonna Give You Up,” which became a global hit in the 1980s, has recently been popular among younger listeners overseas as well.
The song’s meme, known as the “Rickroll,” spread worldwide and brought renewed attention to the track itself.
With 1980s music styles being rediscovered around the world, including in Japan, it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
Be sure to check it out.

Sara, released in 1986 by the American rock band Starship, features a grand, stadium rock-inspired sound and became a hit around the world, especially in North America.
With its slow tempo and expansive, soaring vocals, it’s a great choice for karaoke—even for beginners to Western music.
The warm, comforting melody wraps around the poignant scenes of parting from a loved one, offering a sense of healing.
If you’re heartbroken or feeling down, try singing this song that gently stays by your side.
HoudiniDua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s “Houdini” is a mid-tempo dance track that portrays a complicated romance.
Its biggest draw is a blend of psychedelia and nu-disco, highlighted by a groovy bassline that’s essential for getting the crowd going at karaoke.
The chorus features a catchy repeated phrase, making it fun to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their vocal skills.
As Dua Lipa sets her course toward psychedelia, this single—cut from her last disco-influenced album—is likely to become a long-loved staple.
Santa Tell MeAriana Grande
Ariana Grande used to follow an idol-style path, but recently she’s been gradually shifting toward an R&B singer direction.
Her song “Santa Tell Me” is one of her R&B tracks.
