future gazerfripSide
With the theme of “keeping the flame of digital J-POP alive,” this is the fourth single overall from fripSide, a three-member co-ed music unit popular for songs that resonate with anime and gaming culture.
Chosen as the opening theme for the original video anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, its brisk synth sound contrasted with a cute vocal tone really lifts your spirits.
The melody itself is simple, so if the original key isn’t an issue for you, it’s a pop tune you can sing comfortably.
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism
A four-piece band popularly known by the nickname Higedan, Official HIGE DANDism has won acclaim for quality pop sounds, including their smash hit “Pretender.” This is their seventh digital single, written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY.
Its thrilling arrangement, featuring a jazzy walking bass, meshes well with the anime’s vibe.
With an overall high key and fast tempo—and an even higher-range melody appearing in the chorus—it’s a very challenging song for karaoke.
Start by practicing either the speed of the melody or the high key, and gradually get used to the song as a whole.
TorchesAimer
This is the 17th single by Aimer, a female singer who captivates fans with her distinctive and emotional voice that’s unforgettable after just one listen.
The song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Vinland Saga, and the mystical ensemble woven by the lead vocals and chorus is truly moving.
Because of Aimer’s vocal timbre, the melody may not sound very high in key, but due to leaps in pitch and effective use of falsetto, high notes appear throughout the song.
If you try it at karaoke, practice first in a key that’s comfortable for you, then move on to the original key.

sea colorAKINO from bless4
The fifth single by singer AKINO from bless4, who is active as a member of the bilingual sibling quartet bless4.
This song was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Kantai Collection -KanColle-.
It’s a number that immediately spotlights a powerful vocal performance right from the opening.
With frequent dynamic changes in expression, large melodic leaps, a fast tempo, and a high key, it’s a song that demands constant focus even in karaoke.
Since the mood shifts between the A verse, B verse, and chorus, we recommend first practicing each part individually before working through the entire song.
I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki
This is the sixth single by singer-songwriter Maki Ohguro, who, despite racking up million-selling hits around her debut, appeared so rarely in the media that an urban legend even arose claiming she was “computer-generated.” Chosen as an ending theme for the TV anime SLAM DUNK, it became a million seller and remains one of her signature songs.
With its high, powerful melody—and a complex, ultra-high passage at the end—it’s a song that demands full focus all the way through in karaoke.
If the key suits you, it’s a Heisei-era karaoke classic you’ll want to belt out with full emotion.
Prayer XKing Gnu
This is the debut single by King Gnu, a four-piece rock band dominating the J-POP scene with a mixture sound born from their bottomless musical background and high-level performance skills.
The song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime BANANA FISH, and its distinctive heaviness that ties in with the anime creates an addictive quality.
The melody moves between high chest voice and falsetto, and if the transition becomes too obvious, it can break the atmosphere, so be careful.
Also, since the melody itself is complex, make sure you fully grasp the flow before attempting it at karaoke.
Frenzy Hey Kids!!THE ORAL CIGARETTES
A four-piece rock band, THE ORAL CIGARETTES, whose imaginative lyrics and intense live performances electrify fans, released this as their fourth single.
The song was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Noragami ARAGOTO, and its music video on YouTube is a popular number overseas as well.
Because it’s high-tempo and maintains a melody in a high register, it’s important in karaoke to be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
In the chorus, there are repeated leaps in pitch using falsetto, so sing with an awareness of placing each note accurately.
