Choo Choo YRAINEXILE

EXILE / Choo Choo TRAIN (EXILE PERFECT LIVE 2008)

Known for its intro dance where the body and arms draw circles in a vertically wavy motion! This is a hit number by EXILE, featuring lively choreography and vocals with stable singing ability.

Included on the album “EXILE ENTERTAINMENT,” released in December 2003, it became their first million-selling track.

With its pop, catchy melody and dance-ready rhythm, it’s been used in various events and TV programs.

If you’re doing it at a year-end party, dance practice is a must! If a perfect recreation is tough, it’s also recommended to just pick up the signature moves and dance to those.

It’s great to have everyone focus on the dance, but if someone is confident in their singing, definitely try performing with live vocals as the backing.

Fly Away (EXILE CATCHY BEST)

EXILE’s third single, released in February 2002, is packed with power and energy.

A cover of a song by their predecessor J Soul Brothers, this track fully showcases EXILE’s signature style.

Its catchy melody and rhythmic beat are pleasing to the ear, and with club mixes and remixes included, it shines with diverse appeal.

It was also selected as the theme song for a TV Tokyo program related to the Beijing Olympics, making it a perfect fit for the sports scene.

The lyrics, which sing of hope for the future and the courage to spread your wings, encourage you to overcome any hardship.

It’s a recommended song for those striving toward their dreams or ready to take a new step forward.

HAVANA LOVEEXILE

EXILE / HAVANA LOVE (Music Video)

EXILE is a dance-vocal group that debuted in 2001 with the single “Your eyes only ~Aimai na boku no rinkaku~.” “HAVANA LOVE,” included on their 2022 album PHOENIX, is an uptempo track that amps up the summer vibes.

It’s an especially good pick for karaoke with friends or coworkers who are fans of EXILE and other LDH acts—choosing this slightly lesser-known song will likely come off as stylish and on point.

It’s a perfect July recommendation, filled with the anticipation of summer truly kicking into gear.

LAST CHRISTMASEXILE

LAST CHRISTMAS

As a recommended Christmas karaoke song, I’d pick “LAST CHRISTMAS,” released in 2008.

It’s a cover of Wham!’s globally beloved classic “Last Christmas,” which has become a holiday staple.

The Japanese lyrics poignantly portray the feelings toward a lost lover.

Since TAKAHIRO joined, the group’s vocal power has become even more captivating and comforting.

Brimming with EXILE’s unique charm and high name recognition, this track is sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
