Sun of Lovekururi
A single by Quruli released in March 2023.
It was pre-released in February and was also chosen as the theme song for the Netflix film “Call Me Chihiro.” It’s a simple, medium-tempo pop-rock song that’s very easy to groove to.
The vocal melody line is also very straightforward and easy to hum, so it should be relatively manageable for anyone to shoot for a perfect 100 at karaoke.
Listen closely to the original, study where to sustain notes, where to cut them off, and how to do so, and give that perfect score a try.

With a total of 12 performers, it’s a powerful, hype-inducing number! Aggressive synths and a powerful flow explode throughout! Try tackling it with everyone when you go to karaoke together!
KICK IT OUTBOOM BOOM SATELLITES
It’s a very energetic song, so it seems like it would be effective for refreshing yourself when you’re tired or when you’re about to start something new.
Although they’re a Japanese band, their strikingly non-Japanese sound—almost like a reimported band that first became popular overseas—is really appealing.
Irresponsible? Who cares—LOVE!KAMIGATA BOYZ
A song that showcases the charm of Kansai culture to the fullest has arrived! This track by KAMIGATA BOYZ was released as a digital single in May 2024.
With lyrics by Kenichi Maeyamada that weave in place names from across the Kansai region, it’s brimming with local pride.
Paired with a bright, poppy melody, it’s a tune that lifts your spirits just by listening.
The music video also pays homage to nostalgic TV shows.
It’s perfect for livening up a karaoke session or refreshing your mood.
Highly recommended not only for those from Kansai, but for anyone who needs a boost!
Mama Said ~Hatarakippa~KICK THE CAN CREW
It’s a track included on the album “MAGIC NUMBER.” It’s themed around the image of ants working hard every day.
The song has a unique concept, comparing the ants’ behavior with the singer’s own tired state as it unfolds.
Farewell, Piña ColadaSound Schedule
Piña Colada is the name of a cocktail—a tropical drink made with rum, coconut, and pineapple.
True to that image, the song has a vibe like sprinting along a summer beach.
It’s about a not-so-cool guy getting dumped by a woman, but it’s strangely addictive.
lovenderThe Flickers
From the very start, the snappy rhythm makes you feel the groove, but the real charm of this track might lie in the latter half.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the earlier verses and choruses were all a setup for what comes later.
The intense, techno-tinged section is well worth a listen.
