Birthday songs I want to dedicate at karaoke (31–40)
Everyone’s Happy BirthdayAshida Mana
For a birthday song to celebrate from parent to child and from child to parent, I recommend “Minna no Happy Birthday.” It was released in 2011 by Mana Ashida, who is active as an actress and TV personality, with lyrics and music by Mariya Takeuchi.
With its lively rhythm and colorful melodic lines, it’s perfect for occasions where children sing on their own.
Why not learn the cute choreography showcased officially and deliver both the song and the dance?
BIRTHDAY SONG FOR YOUyosu
Speaking of birthday songs that depict the miracle and joy of meeting someone you love, there’s singer-songwriter yosu’s “BIRTHDAY SONG FOR YOU,” released in 2013.
Set to a beautiful, piano-centered melody line, it conveys straightforward feelings toward a lover.
Since the song unfolds at a medium tempo, even those who aren’t confident singing karaoke will find it easier to keep the rhythm.
It’s a number that conjures the image of two people who may quarrel at times but quickly make up and reaffirm their love.
Why not sing it with heartfelt emotion on your special someone’s birthday?
Happy BirthdayEXILE
“Happy Birthday,” included on EXILE’s 2006 album ASIA, by the music group known for delivering overwhelming performances through singing and dance.
Packed with a sincere message to someone special, it’s recommended even for those who feel shy about expressing their feelings directly in words.
Try singing it calmly to its slow tempo.
If you divide parts into main vocals and chorus, it’s sure to create even more excitement.

The melody is easy to pick up, so it could be fun to have everyone sing along together at the end.
DEAR MY FRIENDHi-STANDARD
It’s a classic by Hi-Standard! If you’re in your 30s or 40s, this song is probably the soundtrack of your youth.
Singing it at karaoke might bring back nostalgic memories of those days! Highly recommended for an all-guys birthday party.
LOL And of course, everyone should shout the chorus together.
