KICK BACKYonezu Kenshi
When you want to liven up the atmosphere, high-energy songs are a perfect fit.
One I recommend is “KICK BACK.” It’s a track Kenshi Yonezu wrote specifically as the theme song for the anime Chainsaw Man.
The song features a dry sound that reflects the anime’s world, while still being up-tempo—very striking.
There are lots of shout-heavy sections, so it’s great if you want to really belt it out! It can also be fun to point the mic to your friends at those moments.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
MONGOL800 is a rock band based in Okinawa.
The song that catapulted them into the spotlight is “Chiisana Koi no Uta” (“A Little Love Song”).
It’s also well known for being used as a TV insert song and in commercials.
This is a classic rock tune that sings of feelings for a loved one.
Groove along to the buoyant drum and bass, and enjoy the vibe.
Also, taking cues from MONGOL800’s live performances and adding your own arrangement should really get the crowd going.
fake face dance musicOnda Masanori
Masayuki Onda, a singer-songwriter who rose to prominence mainly on social media with his gentle ballads, is back with an up-tempo dance track that overturns that image.
The song captures distrust toward someone who wears a false face and the complex, hard-to-resolve emotions that come with it, offering a slightly mature worldview that’s captivating.
The pairing of its electronic sound with Onda’s lustrous vocals is exquisite—so addictive in its sheer comfort.
Released in July 2023, the track was born from passionate fan demand, with the chorus posted on Instagram racking up over 1.3 million views.
Put it on during your commute or a nighttime walk, and everyday life might start to feel a bit more cinematic.
MiracleGReeeeN
Since its release in 2008, GReeeeN’s “Kiseki” has been loved as a staple coming-of-age song.
Its lyrics express the joy of miraculously meeting someone precious and the gratitude that follows.
Although it’s a ballad, the impassioned, pleading vocal style keeps the energy up without becoming too mellow.
Use the original track as a reference and sing with feeling.
Also note that there’s a rap section in the latter half; the rhythm there differs from the rest, so pay close attention.
The continuation of a dreamMinase Inori
It’s a song released on September 3, 2025, and it was apparently created as an homage to Inori Minase’s own song “Yume no Tsubomi.” Overall, it’s bright and slightly high-pitched, so it’s an easy pick for those who are good with higher notes.
If high notes aren’t your strong point, it’s totally fine to lower the key by about two steps.
The melody is fairly simple, so you should be able to learn it quickly! For the high parts, if you just belt with a loud voice, you’ll strain your throat, so raise your tone above your normal speaking voice and use a bright voice as your base.
When you focus on that voice, your eyebrows and facial muscles will naturally lift—do you feel that? Try keeping that expression and projecting your voice far into the distance! If the sound comes out cleanly without catching in your throat, you’re doing it right.
It’ll also make it easier to stay on pitch, so give it a try!
Team friendsChiba Yūki
KOHH is a rapper who could be said to have built Japan’s trap scene.
He’s currently active under the name Yuki Chiba and is gaining worldwide attention.
If you’re a head—even a high schooler—you probably know him.
Among Yuki Chiba’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is Team Tomodachi.
This song became a global hit and is crafted as a laid-back, flowy trap track.
For hip-hop, the flow is exceptionally easy to rap along to, so the difficulty is very low.
In terms of hype, it’s top-tier for any gathering of heads, so definitely add it to your repertoire.
Maximum reachSEKAI NO OWARI
As you’d expect, if it’s the theme song of a massively popular anime, you can look forward to a great response at karaoke.
“Saikō Tōtatsuten,” released by SEKAI NO OWARI in 2023, is a digital-only single written as the opening theme for the TV anime ONE PIECE.
The lyric video featuring ONE PIECE footage drew attention as well.
With its catchy, anime-like appeal, refreshing vibe, and a uniquely SEKAI NO OWARI world that even weaves in a marching band-style arrangement midway, this song is sure to liven up any karaoke session.
The melody line stays within a fairly steady pitch range, so even those with lower voices should be able to handle it by adjusting the key.
