Top 10 iconic girl band songs that hype up the crowd at karaoke
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
ZONE’s “secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~” is still listened to and sung today.
Its mystical melody, as if turning back the flow of time, and lyrics that directly evoke the fond memories of those days are likely why it remains beloved.
It’s the kind of classic that everyone can sing together at karaoke.
Kiss me right nowLINDBERG
LINDBERG’s “Kiss Me Now” continues to be listened to as a timeless classic.
Its straightforward lyrics and the way the song builds keep it from feeling dated.
It’s a sure crowd-pleaser at karaoke, a song that people of any generation can sing and enjoy together.
Madly in love with one eyeJenīhai
Jenny High is a band formed under the pretext of boosting the TV show’s profile.
Produced by none other than Enon Kawatani, it’s a five-piece featuring regulars from the show—Kazutoyo Koyabu and Cookie—along with Ikkyu Nakajima, plus Takashi Niigaki on piano.
Steering clear of a gag route and opting for a straight-ahead approach, their song “Kaname de Ijou ni Koishiteru” (“Madly in Love with One Eye”) is bound to become a crowd-pleaser at karaoke—albeit for reasons a little different than usual.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
This is a song released in 2017 that was used in an NTT Docomo commercial.
The intro through to the lead-up to the chorus might not ring a bell at all, but once the chorus hits, most people will probably think, “I’ve heard this!” The overall vocal range is G3–D5, so most women should be able to sing it without changing the key.
Also, since it features a band × brass band arrangement, the song has a very light, upbeat feel that makes it easy to get into the rhythm! I think it would be plenty of fun and a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke, too.
That said, the chorus is longer than you might expect, so you’ll need some stamina, and there’s a risk it could start to feel repetitive.
It might be good to split the chorus into two big parts—front half and back half—so you can add contrast and keep things engaging!
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
Neverlandthe peggies
The peggies’ “Neverland” feels like a complete refresh from their previous songs.
It carries more weight, with a tight tempo and a cool sound.
Combined with their charm, they’re incredibly appealing as a girls’ band.
It’s a song I want to sing at karaoke.
A butterfly that cannot fly dreamsTogenashi Togeari
An emotional rock tune that resonates with the heart, sublimating the worries and hopes of youth.
The raw feelings of young people seeking freedom are expressed alongside a powerful sound.
The exhilarating melody and memorable guitar riffs showcase a high level of polish that proves their ability.
Released in May 2025 as the B-side to Togenashi Togeari’s 10th single, “Daremo,” this track is a coming-of-age anthem that gently embraces the feelings of young people striving to look forward while torn between dreams and reality.
It’s a song that gives energy and courage—one you’ll want to listen to in a classroom after school—and a must-hear for young listeners struggling with their worries.
