Karaoke songs everyone can sing together: Japanese tracks that are easy to enjoy with a group (31–40)
Voice of the SeaKiritani Kenta
A song that became a massive hit after being used in a cell phone commercial.
It features an easy-to-remember Okinawan-style melody and the simple sound of the sanshin.
The lyrics are straightforward, and since Mr.
Kiritani is an actor, he sings with great emotion, which really moves listeners.
It’s a surefire karaoke crowd-pleaser—an upbeat, sing-along anthem.
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.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
It starts with a signature catchphrase, and there’s a shout of “Ahoo!” in the intro before the first verse begins, making it a perfect karaoke song that lets you ramp up the excitement even before the vocals kick in.
The choreography is easy too, so if you learn it, it’ll get the crowd even more hyped.
We’ve gotta do what seems impossible.Sambomasutā
The theme song chosen for the TBS drama Cheer☆Dan was Sambomaster’s 2010 release “Dekikkonai wo Yaranakucha” (“We Gotta Do the Impossible”).
In 2018, it was also used in a JR East corporate commercial, and the following year it ranked second in the “Job-Hunting Theme Song Ranking.” It’s a quintessentially Sambomaster, powerful punk rock track, with passionate, inspiring lyrics that cheer on those giving their all.
It’s definitely a song I’d love for students to sing together with friends as a breather during their job hunt!
What We Got ~A Miracle Is You~King&Prince
King & Prince’s “What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~” with Mickey Mouse dancing is so cute, isn’t it? It seems this song is part of a project for Mickey’s 100th anniversary! Listening to the whole track, the actual harmonies only appear midway through the B-melody, while the chorus is in unison.
The chorus repeats the same phrase and is very easy to follow, so I think it’s great to add your own harmonies! Singing in unison is fun, but adding harmonies here and there changes the vibe in a fun way.
For the record, I would sing an upper harmony on the parts of the chorus that are in Japanese! Try different approaches and find what feels right for you!

Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
This is a song that became a hot topic as a tear-jerking ballad from a Doraemon movie.
The beauty of the chorus and Hata’s gentle voice are especially memorable.
It’s the kind of number that can move everyone to tears when sung together at karaoke after a farewell party or before a friend’s wedding.
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!
