It’s the cutest ever!Chou Tokimeki♡Sendenbu
This work delivers a story of self-affirmation born from heartbreak, sung over a poppy sound that’s quintessentially Japanese idol music.
Written and composed by Koresawa, the song stands out for the protagonist’s uplifting declaration—after being dumped—of “I’ve become cuter.” Together with its catchy choreography, it surpassed 1.2 billion views on TikTok and took the top spot in DAM’s annual girls’ group karaoke ranking.
It’s a must-listen when you’re feeling down from a breakup or when you want to be reborn as a new you.
Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, who can fairly be called the reigning champions of the Reiwa-era J-POP charts.
Every song they release becomes a hit, they boast an overwhelming number of listeners, and they’re wildly popular at karaoke.
That said, given their exceptional songwriting sense, meticulously crafted ensemble, and melodies spanning a wide vocal range delivered by Mr.
Omori’s incredible vocals, it’s honestly not easy to sing their songs well.
With that in mind, Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024, falls into the relatively easy-to-sing category.
Its lyrics—also serving as the theme song for the film Saint Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men vs.
the Demon Army—are highly relatable and are sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Just be aware that there’s a brief section of irregular meter in the middle, but once you’ve got the overall flow down, you’ll be able to sing it smoothly.

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento
Rather than gravely lamenting how hard it is to live in modern society, Hai Yorokonde packs in a humorous sensibility and a string of irresistibly catchy, TikTok-ready phrases, making it one of 2024’s defining hits.
The multitalented Kocchino Kento also performed this song at that year’s NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, cementing his nationwide recognition—a fresh memory for many.
While showcasing the vocal prowess he honed through a cappella, the distinctive humor and the melodies and lyrics that stick in your head after a single listen, as mentioned above, make the song a surefire crowd-pleaser at karaoke across generations.
The rapid-fire passages do take some getting used to, but if you struggle to keep up, focus on practicing the tricky parts and memorize them well enough to sing without looking at the lyrics—you may be surprised how smoothly it comes together.
88888888PiKi
The hard four-on-the-floor beat and metallic synth riff pull you straight into their world.
It’s a track by PiKi, a unit featuring Karen Matsumoto from FRUITS ZIPPER and Haruka Sakuraba from CUTIE STREET, set to be released in August 2025.
Created as a collaboration song for the film “Exit 8,” its lyrics count up from zero, seemingly expressing the protagonist’s desperation as they search for a way out of an endless maze.
It’s a dance tune that also highlights their cool, thrilling side.
Everybody, good job!M!LK
M!LK’s new single is here, packed with energetic, uplifting vibes.
Its upbeat sound is perfect for blowing away everyday hassles and gloomy feelings.
With lyrics that give you a gentle push—like saying “It’ll all work out”—the song offers a warm sense of encouragement.
Set for release on October 23, 2024, this is the group’s sixth single since their major-label debut.
Brimming with M!LK’s signature brightness and energy, it’s a great fit for karaoke or event BGM.
If you’re feeling down or need a boost, this track is sure to lift your spirits.
Team friendsChiba Yūki
The release Team Tomodachi sent shockwaves through the hip-hop scene.
It’s an essential work when discussing Japan’s J-trap movement—hugely popular in Japan and it sparked major hype overseas as well.
People in their 20s are the generation that lived through the peak of the MC battle boom.
A lot of them probably became heads from there and were quick to check out this project.
As a trap track, it’s put together with an especially singable flow, so be sure to rap it with your my men!
EdisonSuiyōbi no Campanella
Speaking of Wednesday Campanella since Shiina took over as vocalist, isn’t “Edison” the track that leaves the strongest impression? In this song, the highest note is a hi C#—but that only appears in a few falsetto phrases.
If we look at just the chest voice, it spans from mid2 B to hi A, which is relatively narrow for a female vocal piece.
Thanks to its addictive catchiness and singability striking just the right balance, it’s a song many women will likely want to add to their repertoire.
