Bad ReputationAvril Lavigne
This song was used as the theme for the 2012 theatrical release ONE PIECE FILM Z, a popular anime from One Piece.
With its catchy, often repeated melodies, it’s an English-language anime song that’s easy to try even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
Baby I(feat. Taro Hakase)Ariana Grande
This is a track by Ariana Grande, a singer from the United States, that turns the indescribable flutter of the very moment love begins into sound.
It was used as the ending theme for the anime GO-GO Tamagotchi!.
The song is characterized by a buoyant beat reminiscent of ’90s R&B, with Ariana’s piercing high tones shining brightly.
It captures that sweet-and-sour exhilaration when your feelings overflow and you can’t put them into words—just listening makes your heart skip.
This special Japan-only version features violinist Taro Hakase, whose gorgeous tone colors the piece even more dramatically.
The original was released in 2013, and this version can be found on the Japanese edition of the 2014 album My Everything.
Its happy sound is exactly the kind that “gets you hyped.”
Falling DownOasis
This is a song that was used as the theme for the anime Eden of the East, which aired in 2009.
It’s rare for Western music to be used in Japanese anime, but Eden of the East featured Oasis, which sparked discussion not only among anime fans but also among music fans.
Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A ThingTori Kelly
Tori Kelly is a singer-songwriter born in 1995 who has been active since 2004.
Although she grew up in the United States, her music spans a wide range of genres that reflect a multicultural background with roots beyond America, making her an artist likely to gain even more popularity in the future.
I’m ALIVE!Becca
This song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Black Butler,” which is based on a manga hugely popular among women and aired from October 2008 to March 2009.
Although the lyrics are in English, it uses many simple words that are easy for Japanese speakers to sing, and the phrasing isn’t crowded, so I recommend it.
Minions Banana SongMinions
Minions are characters that appear in a popular film, first introduced in the 2010 movie “Despicable Me 3D.” Since then, many merchandise items have been released, and they have become popular characters, with many people—from children to adults—owning Minions goods.
How Far I’ll GoAuli’i Cravalho
This is a song used as the theme for Disney’s 2016 film “Moana.” In the Japanese version, Miliyah Kato sings it, and since it was often played on TV, it has a beautiful and easy-to-remember melody that you’ll likely be able to sing right away as long as you study the English lyrics in advance.
