Speaking of Halloween songs, this is it! A special selection of Japanese hits that light up karaoke (41–50)
I am a ghost.Yonezu Kenshi
This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu that hides a touch of heartbreak beneath its light, poppy sound.
Like a Halloween tale, the protagonist sings of unrequited love from the perspective of having become a transparent presence.
I’m watching you, but you can’t see me.
That unreachable feeling rides on a catchy melody, and the contrast is wrenching.
Another appeal of this track is the dramatic swell of emotion—like being brought back to life by the words of the one you love.
Released in October 2015, it’s included on the acclaimed album Bremen, which won the Excellence Album Award at the 57th Japan Record Awards.
It’s a perfect pick for a Halloween party karaoke session if you want something more than just hype—a slightly bitter, story-driven song.
VampireJanne Da Arc
If you want a slightly sexy, grown-up Halloween karaoke vibe, we recommend “Vampire” by Janne Da Arc.
It’s included on their 2003 album ANOTHER STORY.
Featuring the classic Halloween creature—the vampire—this song depicts getting caught up in a dangerous love you shouldn’t fall into.
It’s also great for venting your frustrations about romance at karaoke on Halloween! The intense rock melody is sure to hype up your Halloween night.
Fashion Monsterkyarī pamyu pamyu
This is the third single by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, a female singer with fans both in Japan and abroad for her original yet cute fashion.
The lyrics, which seem to echo the growing recognition of cosplay as an extraordinary form of expression alongside the rising excitement around Halloween, make it perfect for karaoke during the holiday.
With its high-tempo, rock-tinged electronic sound and catchy refrains that anyone can remember, it’s a popular karaoke track where you can sing and dance along with friends during the chorus.
Farewell, my beloved sorrowsMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
A single that became a hot topic thanks to composition by world-renowned Japanese guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei, it’s the ninth release from idol group Momoiro Clover Z.
The song explores the theme of light and darkness in humanity, with a thrilling arrangement that mirrors the concept: it moves from a rock-driven A melody to an unsettling B section, then bursts into a catchy chorus.
The relentless guitar in the intro and instrumental breaks serves as a hook, making it a track that instantly boosts the mood the moment it starts at karaoke—a perfect pick for Halloween in both theme and sound.
Halloween Night PartyHONEY WORKS
It’s a four-on-the-floor dance-rock style Halloween number.
This collaborative work by the creator unit HoneyWorks and singers Hanon and Kotoha is included on the 2020 album “Suisei Shoujo” (Water-Voiced Girl).
Its quintessential Halloween-world vibe merges with highly addictive rock elements, making it a track you’ll want to play on repeat.
The call-and-response lines by Hanon and Kotoha are wonderful, too.
Feel and ThinkMAN WITH A MISSION
It’s a mixture rock number with a solid, weighty beat, heavy guitars, and a cool bass sound.
It’s a track by the internationally active rock band MAN WITH A MISSION, included on their Halloween-themed mini-album “Trick or Treat e.p.” released in 2011.
The powerful lyrics carry a passionate message: live with all you’ve got! The words match the vibe of the song and really amp you up.
Give this energetic track your all and sing it at full power!
Halloween party!!Repezen Chikyuu
If you’re looking for a high-energy track, this is the one! It’s a Halloween song by the music group Repezen Chikyuu, who started out on YouTube, and it’s included on their 2018 album “Chikyuu TRIBE.” It’s known for its edgy lyrics—too bold to quote here.
Think of it as a party-people EDM banger.
If you’re going to sing it, the more people the better.
Round up your close friends for karaoke and get the party going!
