Osaka LoverDREAMS COME TRUE
Osaka Lover, released in 2007 by the nationally beloved DREAMS COME TRUE, was written specifically for a roller coaster attraction at Universal Studios Japan.
It tells a love story set across Osaka’s place names, expressing the real feelings of a long-distance relationship.
If you’re singing it at a party or karaoke, it’s fun to swap the lyrics to your own hometowns.
Why not hype up the karaoke session with a four-on-the-floor, rhythmic band groove that gets everyone moving?
Sūdara-bushiUeki Hitoshi
The song that makes you feel an indescribable sense of fun when you listen to it is Hitoshi Ueki’s “Sūdara-bushi.” It’s a popular Showa-era tune that has been covered by many artists and is still often heard in commercials today.
Although it’s an old song, for some reason it’s the kind of tune that makes people of all ages want to start singing along.
It creates such a warm, friendly atmosphere, doesn’t it?
Loverssumika
Sumika’s signature track, bursting with a poppy, refreshing melody, is a blissful number that makes your body start moving all on its own just by listening.
While it’s a love song that expresses feelings for a partner, the lyrics have an appealing, open-hearted warmth.
The chorus features a light, easy-to-clap-along rhythm, making it perfect for getting everyone hyped together.
Released in March 2016 as a double A-side single, the song has been embraced by a wide audience, serving as a theme for Kansai TV’s music program and the popular “Mune-kyun Sukatto” segment on Fuji TV’s “Sukkiri TV Sukatto Japan.” It even took the top spot for “songs you want played at your wedding” in the first half of 2019.
At karaoke parties, adding claps in the chorus or some call-and-response instantly livens up the room.
Its bright vibe also pairs well with drinks—just be careful not to overdo it!
I’ll wait.amin
This is “Matsuwa,” the debut single released in 1982 by Aming, the duo of Takako Okamura and Haruko Kato.
The lyrics felt remarkably mature for college students at the time, and the song became a huge hit, ranking No.
1 on Oricon’s year-end sales chart that year.
Though many years have passed since its release, it’s still a song we hear often, thanks to regular cover versions and its use in commercials.
Fish HeavenShibaya Hiromi
Once you hear it, it just won’t leave your head—or your ears!—regardless of generation: the smash hit song Osakana Tengoku (Fish Paradise).
It’s often played in supermarket seafood sections and is truly one of those tunes that sticks with you.
Hugely popular with kids too, it’s easy to learn, easy to sing, and even helps you remember fish names—what’s not to love? How about using it as a novelty song?
National Sake-Drinking Festival Song of Japanbarakūda
Here’s a song about coming up with all sorts of excuses to throw a party and drink.
It’s a track by the comic band Baracuda released in 1979, said to have been created as a parody of “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” the song from the Disney film Cinderella that exchange students used to sing.
It seems that, in the past, there were even groups who went cherry-blossom viewing while singing this song.
Please do your part to carry on this beautiful aspect of Japanese culture.

The choreography was created by Sako Makita, formerly of PASSPO☆.
