A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

If you’re a high school student, you probably go to karaoke quite a bit—after school events like sports festivals and culture festivals, or when you’re hanging out with friends on your days off.

But when the moment comes, it’s hard to decide what to sing, right?

Before you know it, you might realize, “I always sing the same songs…!!” I bet a lot of people can relate.

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento

Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.

While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.

That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!

Katana-P Christmas Theme Song 2022pīnattsu-kun

[MV] Peanut-kun – Christmas Theme Song 2022

Katana-P Christmas Theme Song 2022pīnattsu-kun

Starting his career in 2017, the so-called earliest days of VTuber history, Peanut-kun has stood out from other VTubers with his unique, mascot-like look—briefs on a peanut-shaped head—and has consistently maintained his style as an independent creator.

Also known as a rapper, Peanut-kun released “Katana-P Christmas 2022” in 2022, a reggaeton-inspired track with a striking, faintly melancholic guitar intro.

In skillful flow, he sings about his almost excessive love for Tōya Kenmochi, another prominent VTuber.

Even without knowing that background, the song’s slightly deranged vibe still lands as a “good track,” striking a superb balance that made it a hit.

I’d love to see you perfect the MV’s choreography and belt it out at karaoke with all your heart!

Bunny GirlAKASAKI

【AKASAKI】Bunny Girl – Natural（Music Video）

Bunny GirlAKASAKI

You can’t go a day without hearing the song “Bunny Girl” on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

It’s a signature track by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI, known for its light, breezy melody.

In contrast to its bright and airy feel, the song’s vocal line is crafted with a very narrow range.

Because the pitch movement is very gentle, anyone can sing it in chest voice.

Even men with very low voices should be able to sing it without issue in the right key, so considering how well it’s received, it’s definitely worth adding to your repertoire.
