That’s important.Daiji MAN Burazāzu Bando
It’s a well-known cheer song.
It was the third single released by DaijiMAN Brothers Band in 1991.
Its popularity surged after it was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Ho-chan’s Yamada Katsutenai Television.”
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!

I Wish For YouEXILE
It’s their 35th single, released in 2010.
It was also the theme song for TBS’s 2010 World Volleyball.
With this song, they won the 52nd Japan Record Awards.
Listening to the powerful dance and vocals alone is enough to lift your spirits.
Don’t give up on your dreamsOkamura Takako
This is Takako Okamura’s fifth single, released in 1987.
It has been featured in various commercials and TV programs, so it’s a song you’ve likely heard at least once.
The lyrics and music were written by Okamura herself.
It is considered one of her signature works.
airshipYuuri
This is a cheer song from Yuri for those charging toward their dreams.
The overall vocal range is B2–A4, which is a common key, so many men may find it easy to sing.
However, be careful: there are big leaps from low to high notes throughout, which can make you strain.
Suddenly pushing out high notes puts a lot of stress on your throat.
It’s important to prepare your voice—keep a few things in mind before singing.
For example, when you run, which helps you gain speed more: with a run-up or without? It’s the same with singing.
If you go step by step—open your throat → inhale → project the voice with momentum—you can sing without forcing it.
Let’s make sure to master each step one by one!
It’s okay.BLUE ENCOUNT
This is a rock number that embraces anxieties and worries that lead you to deny yourself, combining warmth that affirms you just as you are with powerful strength.
The passionate rock band from Kumamoto, BLUE ENCOUNT, released it as a single in June 2016.
Chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s CDTV and as the theme song for a high school baseball program, the track was later included on the acclaimed album THE END.
It also became a pivotal song that deepened the bond with fans in the lead-up to their first performance at Nippon Budokan in October 2016.
It’s perfect as a cheer for friends striving toward their dreams—and when you want to give a strong push to your own back as you take on a challenge, be sure to sing it.
A Cheer Song for YouSnow Man
Included on their 4th album “RAYS,” this song is packed with messages that powerfully push listeners forward.
It offers solace for the anxiety and impatience of efforts that seem to go unrewarded, and its straightforward band sound gives you the courage to push past your limits.
Built on a simple melodic line, it’s easy to remember, and as long as you can hit the open, soaring high notes in the chorus, it should feel great to sing at karaoke.
It’s an energetic cheer song you’ll want to sing when you want to raise your fist with friends and get pumped, or when you need to fire yourself up.
