It’s widely known across generations and is perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke.
Sing it together, and you’re sure to make fun memories! Hop on the driving 166 BPM sound and feel like an idol yourself.
NINE LIVESchōtokkyū
They’re releasing a TikTok-linked project called “Episode of NINE LIVES,” a series of short dramas starring each of the nine members.
The limited first-press Blu-ray reportedly includes a director’s cut and behind-the-scenes footage.
It’s a groovy dance tune themed around a nine-member group × “cats have nine lives”! If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a guaranteed attention-grabber! You can sing it solo, or split the parts and sing it as a duo—how you approach it makes it even more fun! Within a single track you’ll find ultra-high notes and rap sections; keeping pitch, managing breath control, and handling the relatively fast tempo will test your sense of rhythm.
If you firmly memorize the melody line and focus less on “pushing your voice out” and more on “resonance,” you’ll find it feels great to sing!
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze
It’s a super lively, feel-good track where everyone can swing towels or hand wipes around during the chorus.
Even if you’re not great at singing, if you listen to the rap part a few times and memorize the lyrics, you can probably handle it; plus, the chorus turns into a big sing-along, so you can get hyped and groove without feeling embarrassed.
WOW WAR TONIGHT ~ Sometimes Start a MovementH Jungle with T
This is a song from the 1990s featuring Tetsuya Komuro’s era-defining “TK sound,” performed by Masatoshi Hamada of Downtown, who was at the peak of his popularity at the time.
It became a social phenomenon, sold over a million copies, and even led to an appearance at the Red and White Year-End Song Festival (Kōhaku Uta Gassen).
For those who heard it in real time, it’s a defining hit of the era—one that’s guaranteed to spark a massive sing-along.
HappinessAI
Released in December 2011, this song was once used for Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign.
The opening bell sound really evokes winter and Christmas! I’m sure many of you have heard it before.
The song itself has R&B elements, with a groove that makes you move your body, and the rhythm is a bit unique.
If you try singing it without preparation, you might feel a slight rhythmic mismatch, so some practice is recommended.
Also, the song’s highest note, D#5 right before the last chorus, has tricky timing—make sure to nail it! There are lots of chorus parts too, so singing it as a duo with harmonies will sound really cool.
It’s a song that portrays “everyday love” and a “sense of happiness.” Enjoy it at karaoke!
