Cheer Songs Popular at Karaoke | A Selection of Motivational Anthems That Give You a Push (21–30)
Try EverythingAmi
It’s a popular number loved by many as the Japanese theme song for Disney’s film Zootopia.
It carries a positive, empowering message about never giving up and continuing to try, no matter how many times you fail.
Released in April 2016 as Dream Ami’s second solo single, it also drew attention at the time because she voiced the in-film diva, Gazelle.
Its bright, poppy melody and soaring vocals are uplifting just by listening.
Sing it together with friends at karaoke, and it’s sure to liven up the room.
It’s a wonderful cheer song that gently supports elementary schoolers striving toward their dreams in activities like lessons and school life.
Cheer up!Takeuchi Mariya
Released in 1984.
It’s well-known as a song provided to Hiroko Yakushimaru, and Mariya Takeuchi’s own self-cover is also popular.
The overall melody is simple and centered in the mid-range, making it a relatively accessible key for most people to sing.
Since the song starts on the “na” sound, it can be hard to come in casually, so preparing your voice is very important! Hum along from the intro as if you’re already singing, and then, the moment the melody begins, project your voice with a quick burst of energy.
If the opening note comes out cleanly, you can keep singing with that momentum.
In general, singing with stronger accents might suit the mood of the song well.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
This is Noriyuki Makihara’s third single release.
It became a huge hit and can be considered one of his signature songs.
It was also used as the theme song for the film “No Abnormalities in the Job-Hunting Front.” It’s a timeless classic that continues to be sung, having been chosen as the entrance music for high school baseball and featured in several commercials.
YELL ~Yell~Kobukuro
When you take a step toward your dreams, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by anxiety or loneliness.
That’s exactly when this song—Kobukuro’s major-label debut single—gently stays by your side and gives you a push forward.
The lyrics carry a message of hope: even if you’re just a nameless bud now, if you endure the harsh cold of winter, you’ll be able to bloom into a great flower in spring.
Released in March 2001 and included on the classic album “Roadmade,” this uplifting song is appealing for its approachable key and calm, easy-to-sing melody.
Sing it with feeling at karaoke—either as encouragement to yourself or as a cheer for someone important who’s doing their best.
Everything becomes my strength!kuzu
One of Kuzu’s signature songs and also a popular anthem.
To score high in karaoke, focus on powerful projection and a solid sense of rhythm, and make sure to let your emotions burst in the chorus.
The pre-chorus has a fast-paced rhythm, so while the lyrics matter, locking into the beat is the top priority.
Put a clear accent on the first beat and sing smoothly to fall into the groove.
Also, since the first sound of the chorus is “ki,” be careful not to pull your mouth too wide horizontally.
Create space inside your mouth and think of lightly humming as you let the sound out—you’ll be able to sing without straining!
