ultra soulB’z
B’z’s 31st single, from the rock unit that continues to take on new challenges—vocalist Koshi Inaba even voiced a character in the Japanese dub of the 3D animated film Sing 2 in 2022.
The song was used as the theme for broadcasts of the World Aquatics Championships and the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, and its exhilarating, fiery rock sound alone is enough to get you pumped.
The call-and-response at the end of the chorus—everyone jumping and shouting together at karaoke—is something almost everyone has joined in at least once since the 2000s.
It’s a high-energy number that ignites a sense of unity with the audience at live shows, too.
ONE NIGHT CARNIVALKishidan
This is the major debut single by Kishidan, a six-member rock band whose unique genre “Yank Rock,” a fusion of Yankee fashion and punk rock, has permeated the J-POP scene.
Even the indie version alone sold around 80,000 copies, and the song is known as Kishidan’s signature number.
It’s characterized by many call-and-response hooks throughout—like the spoken intro, the choruses, and the build-up before the refrain—making it perfect for audience participation.
It’s fun to sing solo, of course, but it’s a classic karaoke track that really shines with a big group.

The dazzling, optimistic vibe themed around magic and dreams is wonderful! This song was released in March 2024 in conjunction with Suisei Hoshimachi’s 3D live celebrating her 6th anniversary.
It depicts breaking free from everyday boredom and constraints to freely pursue one’s dreams, offering listeners courage and hope.
It seems like a perfect track to hype up a karaoke session.
With repeated phrases and words that symbolize a mysterious, magical power sprinkled throughout, it’s sure to be a blast to sing together.
Why not give it a try the next time you go to karaoke with friends or your crew?

A three-piece rock band, WANIMA has won fans with rousing messages set to a driving rock sound.
This track, included on their second album “Everybody!!,” was written specifically for NHK’s “18 FES,” an event that has been held since 2016.
The call-and-response in the B-melody and the melodious, melodic-core-style harmonies make it an arrangement that raises the excitement and makes you want to try it at karaoke.
It’s a rock tune packed with WANIMA’s appeal, featuring an outstandingly emotional melody riding on that sense of speed.
LOVE MachineMōningu Musume.
“LOVE Machine” is a classic karaoke song that’s been beloved since its release for the way you can add call-and-response shouts.
Written and composed by Tsunku, it’s also one of Morning Musume’s signature tracks.
It has a unique structure where interjections come in after each phrase right from the beginning.
While most songs only have one section where you can add calls, this one lets you keep the energy high from start to finish.
Another plus is that people of all generations know it.
