[Gets Popular and Kills at Parties!] Stylish Song Choices: Karaoke Hits (41–50)
flying boatKing Gnu
This song was written specifically for an ANA commercial.
Its lyrics, which reject society’s prescribed “rightness” and conventional wisdom, are infused with a strong will to spread your own wings and soar freely into the future—like an anthem for taking a bold first step.
Released by King Gnu in August 2019, the track reached No.
3 on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts and is a song that gives a push to anyone facing a challenge.
If you can casually pull off this piece at karaoke—with its distinctive rhythm and interweaving high notes—you’ll definitely earn some serious respect.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
That hook from the intro grabs you instantly, and the energetic performance in school uniforms leaves a vivid impression! This is truly a soul-stirring anthem that represents Kishidan.
You can feel the exhilaration of breaking free from dull everyday life and diving into a one-night-only carnival, along with the fiery bond between friends.
The indie version was released in June 2001, followed by the major-label version in May 2002, and it was performed at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in both 2004 and 2005.
Belt it out with your friends at karaoke, arms over shoulders, and it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going! Nail that signature choreography, too, and make it an unforgettable night!
CYMBillyrrom
If you want to aim for a perfect score with a stylish, high-sense track, we also recommend “CYM.” It’s a Black music–style piece centered on funk and disco, featuring a bouncy bassline that stands out throughout.
The vocal line adds color to the track, often coming in on the backbeat.
While the rhythm has a bit of difficulty, the vocal melody is relatively flat and monotonous, making it a song where aiming for 100 points should be easier.
JOYYU-KI
There’s someone you’re interested in at a karaoke outing with coworkers or classmates… In that case, if you’re a woman, you probably want to sing a song that guys will like.
But at karaoke with a mix of people, choosing an overly cutesy song can make you self-conscious about what others think.
That’s exactly when YUKI’s “JOY” is perfect.
It’s a dance-pop track, so it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
At the same time, it lets you show off your cute side, making it a great choice for subtly approaching the guy you like!
staring contestTomonari Sora
The irresistible, bewitching charm with a hint of shadow in Sora Tomonari’s work is captivating.
The sound, where Japanese taste and Western ambience blend exquisitely, feels like being invited into a world of Taisho Romanticism, and you can’t help but be drawn in as you listen.
The lyrics portray an irresistible infatuation with a dangerously alluring “bep-pin-san” (a stunning beauty), along with a nerve‑wracking game of cat and mouse as you try to gauge the other person’s feelings.
Many listeners will find themselves nodding along, thinking, “I know exactly how that feels!” This is the fourth digital single, released in May 2024, and it was also selected for J-WAVE’s SONAR TRAX.
If you sing it at karaoke while exuding a mysterious mood, that special someone might not be able to take their eyes off you.
