When singing it at karaoke, focus first on staying on the beat and be careful not to get left behind by the accompaniment.
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
This is the third single by Masaki Suda, known as a standout actor.
Used as the theme song for the TV drama ‘Kiss That Kills,’ it was released in February 2018.
The expressive vocals unique to an actor blend beautifully with the lyrical melody crafted by Huwie Ishizaki.
While it deals with universal themes such as heartbreak, parting, and loneliness, the lyrics still convey a sense of hope.
The melody has varied movement, but with relatively small pitch changes, making it an easy song to sing at karaoke.
With its driving tempo, it’s a track that can get everyone hyped if you power through it.
Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts
Created by Creepy Nuts as the opening theme for season 2 of the anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” which follows a protagonist who can’t use magic and aims for the top with pure muscle in a world where magic is the norm, this track was released in January 2024.
The jersey-club-inspired production by DJ Matsunaga and spell-like lyrics by R-Shitei fuse to create an addictive sound that sticks in your head after just one listen.
The lyrics intertwine Mash’s conviction to fight with raw strength and R-Shitei’s own experiences and philosophy, expressing a strength that transcends common sense and a rapper’s pride.
With the “BBBB Dance” trending globally on TikTok and the song topping Billboard Japan’s 2024 year-end Hot 100, it’s a perfect track to hype up a karaoke session with friends.

This is a track whose overwhelming sense of speed and dramatic development will hit you right in the heart.
Written by Kenshi Yonezu as the theme song for the film “Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc,” it will be released to coincide with the movie’s premiere in September 2025.
It marks their second collaboration, following the anime’s theme song “KICK BACK.” Yonezu has shared in production anecdotes that he composed while constantly looking at the manga pages featuring Reze, which really conveys his deep affection for the character.
The powerful rhythms that color the intense battle scenes and the sound that heightens the thrilling story are especially striking.
Highly recommended for those who want to get hyped before watching the movie or for fans of anime songs.

This song was written specifically for an ANA commercial.
Its lyrics, which reject society’s prescribed “rightness” and conventional wisdom, are infused with a strong will to spread your own wings and soar freely into the future—like an anthem for taking a bold first step.

KusushikiMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is the opening theme for the second cour of Season 2 of the Nippon TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” which skillfully expresses the mystery and wonder of kotodama—the spiritual power of words.

Interweaving contrasting elements like the moon and the sun, love and apology, it powerfully sings of an eternal love that lasts into the next life.
Like a medicine that can both heal and harm, this grand work delves deeply into the duality of emotions and the power inherent in words.
