giftRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS’ new song “Tamamono.” This track quickly gained recognition after being chosen as the theme song for NHK’s morning drama series “Anpan.” It’s a piece that mixes rock and J-pop in classic RADWIMPS fashion, but the chorus is a bit unusual.
In the chorus, there’s a phrase that repeatedly alternates between falsetto and chest voice.
While it doesn’t reach extremely high notes, it’s a perfect song for enjoying the charm of high-register vocals.
PredatorAKASAKI
Starting her career as a singer-songwriter at the young age of 16, AKASAKI skyrocketed to fame when her 2024 release “Bunny Girl” became a massive viral hit.
Her songs, woven from the fresh sensibility unique to a teenager, a mature perspective, and outstanding songwriting talent, are all remarkable—so much so that not only her peers but also working adults in their 20s and beyond will find themselves wanting to sing them at karaoke.
The same goes for “Predator,” released in May 2025: it’s a killer tune that showcases AKASAKI’s signature taste, deftly blending a J-pop vibe reminiscent of the early Heisei era with a stylish, 2020s feel.
Its catchy hook will have you humming along after just one listen.
When singing it at karaoke, try delivering it lightly without overexerting, but avoid sounding too flat—be mindful of your breathing spots and aim for a smooth, flowing performance!

CYMBillyrrom
Formed in Machida, Tokyo, Billyrrom is a new-generation six-piece whose pop music—built on a background of R&B, soul, and funk and crafted with a refined sound—has been drawing major attention both in Japan and abroad.
On the verge of a big breakthrough, they’ve delivered another standout with their single “CYM,” released in March 2025, which seems poised to propel their momentum even further.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “MADDER: I Am the Culprit,” the track’s groovy urban funkiness, city-pop atmosphere, and sultry melodies showcase a sensibility that effortlessly transcends the boundary between Japanese and Western music.
At the same time, it surprisingly retains the punchy dynamics of J-pop, making it an accessible and superb pop tune—one you’ll definitely want to try singing at karaoke.
412KEIJU
KEIJU, known as a member of the hip-hop group KANDYTOWN that enjoyed massive cross-genre popularity from 2010 through the early 2020s, has released his first new album in about five years, N.I.T.O., in May 2025, drawing a lot of attention.
The track 412, introduced here, is included on the album and stands out for its mellow, ennui-tinged vibe.
With melodic, Auto-Tune–infused vocals and lyrics that appear to quote KOHH’s classic John and Yoko, it’s a masterful song brimming with his signature taste.
As mentioned, the rap leans melodic, so if you like song-driven hip-hop, be sure to add this one to your repertoire.
RUNWAYTENDRE
TENDRE is the solo project of Taro Kawahara, a multi-instrumentalist as well as a singer-songwriter and producer.
TENDRE has earned high praise for the ability to ground songs in R&B, soul, and hip-hop while polishing them into high-quality pop.
Released in May 2025, the track “RUNWAY” exemplifies TENDRE’s appeal, standing out with refined, meticulously crafted sound.
It might seem a bit challenging to sing at karaoke, but the melody itself isn’t that difficult—once you try it, you may be surprised at how smoothly it goes.
Give it a shot, and deliver it with cool confidence.
Coffee Float (feat. hard life)[Alexandros]

Alexandros is a rock band that has been active since the 2000s.
Since entering the 2020s, they’ve further refined their stylistic breadth, releasing hits that differ in taste each time.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is “Coffee Float (feat.
hard life).” It’s a work that feels like a mix of indie rock and artcore, featuring fast-paced percussion, while the vocal line is relatively monotone and emphasizes the lower register.
It’s exceptionally easy to sing and highlights a deeper voice, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
SyrupShimizu Shota
Shota Shimizu’s new song “Syrup.” Shimizu is known for his music that prominently incorporates authentic R&B, and while this track retains those elements, it’s shaped into a lighter, more modern R&B style.
He isn’t necessarily a low-voiced artist, but since most of this song sits in the mid-to-low range, it should really showcase the appeal of male singers with lower voices.
It’s also recommended to intentionally lower the key to emphasize the low end even more.
