Upbeat songs recommended for women: Popular Japanese songs that make people happy when you sing them (21–30)
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
Released in 2013, this is a smash hit that represents AKB48.
It sold over a million copies and became a social phenomenon, with the Koi Chuu dance craze sweeping across Japan.
If you’re naming the hit songs of the 2010s, this one would definitely make the list.
It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke.
festivalRADWIMPS feat. Miura Tōko
It’s a song called “Celebration,” which was used as one of the theme songs for the 2019 blockbuster film Weathering with You.
The track was composed by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS.
When he wrote the song, he wanted someone other than himself to sing it, so he held auditions over the course of a year.
The person chosen was Toko Miura, who is active as an actress.
Her clear, translucent voice matches the song beautifully.
It’s a refreshingly uplifting track.
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Otsuka Ai
Songs that let you add call-and-response chants can really liven up a karaoke session, right? If you’re looking for tracks like that, I recommend Ai Otsuka’s “Sakuranbo.” The chorus repeats, and it’s standard to shout “One more time!” right before the repeat.
It always gets the crowd going with the call-and-response at karaoke.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
A rock number that cheers on our everyday efforts through its weekend heroes.
It was included on the 2017 album “SHISHAMO 4” and became widely known as the CM song for NTT Docomo’s “Docomo Student Discount.” That same year, the band performed it on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen for their first-ever appearance, generating major buzz.
The song frankly depicts the strength to keep running forward even when things are so tough you want to cry, along with gratitude for those who support you.
Inspired by watching a Kawasaki Frontale match, it’s also loved as a fight song—perfect for anyone looking to get fired up at sports events or live shows.
It stands as one of the band’s signature classics.
KILL LOVEano
At tempo 192, ano’s “KILL LOVE” is a very fast, band-driven track.
The structure builds to a big lift in the chorus, making it a super refreshing song to sing! The range isn’t that high, so you can comfortably sing it in chest voice.
In the A and B sections, sing with ano’s usual laid-back, conversational vibe, while the chorus turns full-on rock in both lyrics and feel—so it’ll sound coolest if you belt it out with an “unleash your feelings” kind of emotion.
Also, since the tempo is very fast, pay attention to your breath placement.
The chorus especially has continuous melodies, so take a deep breath right before it, and be careful not to blow out all your air at once—manage your airflow! If you tense your chest and shoulders when inhaling, you’ll slip into shallow chest breathing and won’t get enough air.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and focus on directing the breath into your abdomen.
Heart-throbbingHinatazaka46
Hinatazaka46 is known for the striking contrast between their songs and the fact that many members excel at variety shows.
Their track “Kyun” stands out with its refreshing melody and lyrics that depict a bittersweet maiden’s heart.
It’s a song that expresses the pure feeling of wanting the person you like to turn and notice you.
Feeling great!!mihimaru GT
This is mihimaru GT’s ninth single, released in May 2006.
It was featured in several commercial songs and as ending themes for variety shows, and it became their first track to break into the top 10 on the Oricon weekly charts.
While dealing with the frustrations of work and relationships, it delivers a message of turning even the worst days into positive energy, set to a light, upbeat rhythm and a catchy melody.
With a structure that interweaves rap parts and vocals, the chorus brings a rush of openness that naturally lifts your spirits.
Pick it for a girls’ night or a karaoke party and you’re guaranteed to get everyone clapping along.
It’s the perfect song for blowing away everyday stress.
