High-energy songs that you belt out are great for karaoke, but if you want to come off as stylish, it’s also a good idea to pick something you can sing loosely and laid-back.

Among those, Vaundy’s “Odoriko” is a standout with its alluringly languid vibe.

It doesn’t require much vocal power, so it works well as a warm-up song early on.

It’s also handy as a kind of water station to cool down when you’ve over-sung and your voice isn’t coming out.

Try using it in a variety of situations!
