Upbeat songs recommended for women: Popular Japanese hits that make people happy when you sing them (61–70)
The ultimate fave!Suzuki Airi
Airi Suzuki is known for her time as a member of ℃-ute and Buono! and is also active as an actress and model.
Her track “Saikyō no Oshi!” released digitally on October 25, 2023, was selected as the theme song for the TV drama “My Oshi Became My Boss.” The lyrics, which sing about how having an oshi brightens and enriches one’s life, feel distinctly modern and are likely to resonate with many listeners.
It’s a cute, upbeat tune with a superb arrangement that moves from a grand opening into a pop ensemble.
A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
When it comes to popular anime songs for karaoke, you just can’t leave out “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” from the Evangelion series.
It’s a regular at the top of karaoke rankings, and you always see it in the karaoke history.
Although it’s an anime song, even people who aren’t familiar with anime know it, so it’s an easy number to sing in any situation.
Bad Apple!!Alstroemeria Records
This “Bad Apple!!” has a really snappy tempo, but the lyrics are dark—or rather, they have a slightly shadowy feel that makes the song addictive.
I’ve heard that the title “Bad Apple” can mean a no-good person.
Knowing that, the lyrics start to make a bit more sense.
Even so, it’s a song with a great rhythm that really gets you pumped up.
Follow MeE-Girls
It’s “Follow Me,” the third single released in 2013 by the dance-vocal group E-girls.
It was also used in a commercial, so I heard it a lot.
The song is packed with girlish feelings and sings about the beginning of love.
It gives that vibe of being so happy you start running and just can’t stop! The chorus is super catchy and makes you hum along without even noticing.
BelieveFolder5
This is “Believe” by Folder5, released in 2000.
Many of you might remember it as an opening theme for the anime One Piece.
Folder5 is also known for having Hikari Mitsushima, who is now active as an actress.
It definitely has that early-2000s vibe, but it’s one of those songs that really ramps up your energy.
paprikaFoorin
Foorin’s “Paprika” is a support song for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games released by NHK.
Moreover, because Kenshi Yonezu handled the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, it became a hot topic, especially online.
Although it might seem like a children’s song, its solid melody and rhythm have made it a popular karaoke choice among adults as well.
Unfit to be a loverMiyuhan
Miyuhan is a multitalented artist who not only sings but also works as a voice actress and designs her own merchandise.
“Koibito Shikkaku” (Disqualified as a Lover) is a song provided by Koresawa as an answer to Koresawa’s own track “Tabako” (Cigarette).
Told from a male perspective, it’s a heartbreak song that poignantly recounts the casual moments from when the couple was close and the feelings that led to their breakup.
It would be fun to compare it with Koresawa’s “Tabako” and see how they resonate with each other.
