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!
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS
Among the many songs by THE BLUE HEARTS—a punk band with a passionate fanbase—the one we really want everyone to belt out together is their ninth single, “Jounetsu no Bara” (Rose of Passion).
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama High School Graffiti 2 and famously reached No.
1 on the Oricon singles chart.
It’s a rock tune that blends the raw, quintessential BLUE HEARTS sound with lyrics that hit you right in the heart.
In particular, the chorus that appears only once at the very end always gets the crowd fired up when you sing it—so definitely give it a try!
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS
“Zenzenzense” by RADWIMPS was written as an insert song for the animated film Your Name, which became a social phenomenon in 2016.
Released the same year, the track reached No.
1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and ranked third on DAM’s annual karaoke chart the following year.
It’s a rock tune with an irresistible sense of release and speed in the chorus.
After the second verse, there’s a section sung not with lyrics but repeated “oh”s, so even people who don’t know the song should find it easy and satisfying to sing!
