Dried flowersYuuri
Since his major debut in 2020, singer-songwriter Yuuri has released a string of hit songs featuring his emotional vocals.
His second major single, the digital-only track “Dry Flower,” is a massive hit with over 800 million streams.
The lyrics, written from a woman’s perspective about feelings for a former lover, are highly relatable for many listeners.
It’s a recommended karaoke pick for autumn, but because the melody climbs toward the chorus, be mindful of key settings and pacing when you sing it.
SparkleIkuta Rira
Lilas Ikuta, a singer-songwriter also known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, captivates fans with her clear, translucent voice.
Her fifth digital-only single, “Sparkle,” chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s original dating show Today, I Fell in Love: Mikan Edition, is a striking number featuring a delicate ensemble centered on acoustic guitar.
Its lyrics, depicting the end of a one-sided love that was both painful and radiant, feel perfect for the sentimental season of autumn.
Though the wide melodic range makes it a challenging song, it’s a pop tune you’ll definitely want to try at karaoke.
red-orangeACIDMAN
This is ACIDMAN’s third single, sold for 300 yen as the third installment of their pre-debut singles.
The indie single credits listed Ichigo as the composer, but the major-label version credits ACIDMAN as the composer.
It’s very popular and is played at almost every live show.
I imagine many people sing it at karaoke as well.
Halloween NightAKB48
Released as AKB48’s 41st single, it was used as the CM song for Asahi Soft Drinks’ “Wonda Morning Shot” (Autumn edition).
Rino Sashihara serves as the center for this track.
The members each show off different Halloween costumes, and it’s a song you’ll want to sing at karaoke when autumn comes.
glowing madder-redAimer
Speaking of autumn songs by the hugely popular singer-songwriter Aimer, it has to be this one! The word “Akanesasu” in the title seems to mean light shining and glowing beautifully in madder red, evoking autumn sunsets and scenes or people bathed in that evening glow.
In this song, meetings and partings are portrayed with aching beauty, making it a perfect fit for this season when we tend to feel a little lonely.
Aimer’s beautiful voice and the ethereal, grand arrangement resonate deep within the heart.

Have you seen the crimson-red sky?BUMP OF CHICKEN
When you think of autumn, many people probably picture a sky glowing crimson at sunset.
This song is a mid-tempo rock tune that irresistibly calls to mind just such an autumn evening sky, and it has a refreshing quality that feels perfect for the season.
Its greatest charm, above all, lies in the deeply evocative lyrics—so quintessentially BUMP—that hit you right in the heart.
By listening from start to finish, you can feel the meaning of the words even more.
It’s a masterpiece that moves you with its scenery and the bond between the two people in the lyrics, and gives you courage through the message of support woven into the song.

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 12th single.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “ALWAYS: Sunset on Third Street 2.” The song was written specifically for the movie, and part of its lyrics were used as the film’s catchphrase.
