[2026] A Collection of Cool Western Songs That Hype Up Karaoke (101–110)
Buddy HollyWeezer
It reached No.
18 on the Billboard chart in ’94.
Since Weezer emerged during a transitional period for ’90s pop music, they’re a band that’s a bit hard to pin down with a simple description.
If I had to sum it up in one phrase, maybe “alternative power pop band” fits? Because of their playful lyrics and music videos, people often called them “crybaby rock”…
And yet, these four guys with the least rock-star image ended up winning a Grammy—rock is a strange thing.
It also makes sense that the central member, Rivers Cuomo, was a huge Buddy Holly fan.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)Whitney Houston
“I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)”—also widely known in Japan by the title “Suteki na Somebody”—is a popular song by American R&B singer Whitney Houston.
Its upbeat rhythm makes it a great choice when you want to liven up the room at karaoke.
In the chorus, try projecting your voice and focusing on sustained notes; it instantly sounds cooler, so give it a shot next time you take on this song at karaoke!
APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars
This is a captivating track created by superstar representatives of South Korea and the United States.
This collaborative song by Rosé and Bruno Mars features inventive lyrics inspired by a Korean drinking game and an addictive melody.
The lyrics, which express the exhilaration of a party and the thrills of romance, resonate with young listeners.
Since its release in October 2024, it has become a worldwide hit, spending nine consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the Billboard Global 200.
It’s a perfect pick when you want to energize a party or a get-together with friends.
Hand in My PocketAlanis Morissette
Peaked at No.
6 in the UK in 1995.
Included on the third album, Jagged Little Pill, which sold 33 million copies worldwide.
Word is she’s set to visit Japan soon for the first time in 13 years.
She was like a queen of ’90s alternative.
As the lyrics of this song show, she was a role model for the so-called “cool woman,” and it seems that hasn’t changed even now.
My Heart Will Go OnCéline Dion
I’d like to introduce a classic song here: the theme song from the movie Titanic, “My Heart Will Go On.” It’s one of Celine Dion’s signature tracks.
Thanks in part to the film’s worldwide popularity, many people in Japan still know this song today.
It’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Celine Dion was diagnosed with the rare disease stiff-person syndrome in December 2022 and has paused her activities.
Although there is no established fundamental treatment yet, many people surely hope to hear her voice performing this song once again someday.

As It WasHarry Styles
When it comes to mellow tracks that make everyone sway without thinking, As It Was fits the bill.
Released in 2022 by singer Harry Styles, who also thrives as an actor, its soft, airy synth tones resonate and gently lift everyone’s mood.
It’s also great to sing along while swaying to the modern beat.
The song features vocals delivered in a conversational tone, so relax and aim for a smooth, supple performance.
How about singing this love song filled with warm feelings for that special someone?
Made You LookMeghan Trainor
The song that became a global hit and a TikTok trend is “Made You Look.” It’s a track sung by singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor.
Its melody carries a slightly nostalgic vibe paired with catchy phrases, making it stick in your head after just one listen.
Another reason for its popularity is the positive message that “you’re amazing no matter what you’re wearing.” The content feels empowering and uplifting.
