Karaoke songs that get the party going at mixers—recommended for women

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Put On False Eyelashes

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Japan’s global superstar, is no longer from an era where people sing and play this song.

Since she’s become a worldwide icon, singing her songs gets everyone hyped, making them extremely easy to perform.

If you adjust the key to suit your own voice and sing it again, the cuteness factor goes up several times.

Kimaguren – LIFE

Kimaguren’s massive hit.

Since there aren’t many people who don’t know it, it should be relatively easy to sing at group mixers.

The key isn’t extremely high either, so if you memorize the lyrics perfectly, you might just be the hero of the party.

Sing it as if you’re dedicating it to the person you’re aiming for at the mixer.

Morning Musume. 'The Love Revolution 21' (MV)

Morning Musume has a lot of songs that really get the crowd going at karaoke.

Since many of their music videos are available, picking their songs at karaoke would probably hype things up even more.

They have plenty of catchy tracks with good tempo that are easy to sing.

[MV] Salaryman Mike “Gōkon Song”

A hip-hop unit called Reiman Mic, whose members are all salarymen at top-tier companies.

Their song “Gōkon Song” is, as the title suggests, all about the ins and outs of group dating, and it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Gōkon and alcohol often go hand in hand, of course, but the vibe of this track—the party energy—is seriously impressive.

Even if it has nothing to do with a gōkon, it’s the kind of song that would hype up a karaoke room and get everyone laughing.

By the way, their nickname is “Charari-man,” a play on “charai,” meaning flashy or flirty, and “salaryman” (lol).

Shibuya Group Dating Song ~So Awesome, That Sense of Unity~rīmanmaiku

Salaryman Mike feat. Hana Imai / Shibuya Group Dating Song ~#Incredible Sense of Unity~

An irresistible, uplifting track by Riman Mike, a group made up of active office workers.

The song’s theme is group dating, and the chorus runs through the names of different alcoholic drinks one after another—perfect for a drinking anthem! Plus, the snare accelerates leading into the chorus and then explodes all at once, following a classic EDM build-and-drop structure that guarantees hype.

There are plenty of spots for call-and-response too, so it’s highly recommended for karaoke drinking parties.

In Love with the Mirrorraisan

Praise – In Love with the Mirror

Reisan is a band fronted by Saaya from the comedy duo Lalande.

Their slightly downtempo sound, which incorporates a touch of Black music while staying on trend, has become popular, and although the band is still relatively new, they’ve already churned out multiple hit songs.

Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is their new single, “Kagami ni Koishite” (In Love with the Mirror).

While hints of Black music peek through at key moments, the song is fundamentally based on orthodox J-pop, so the vocal line itself is simple.

There aren’t many drastic pitch jumps, so anyone with a basic level of vocal technique should be able to sing it without much difficulty.

Kana Nishino 'Darling' MV (Short Ver.)

Since it’s not as high-pitched as Aitakute and has a relatively relaxed tempo, it should be good if you’re looking for something easy to sing at karaoke.

Sing about pure love dedicated to your darling and show off your pure-hearted side at the group date.

And then take a guy home.
