Snow White – Heigh Ho (Japanese)

If you’re looking for a song everyone can sing together in unison, “Heigh-Ho” is also a great choice.

Feel the loveSakkyoku: Elton John

Kento Kaku belts it out! “The Lion King” MV released; he and Yoko Kadoyama “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”

A hit in the Shiki Theatre Company’s stage productions and released in 2019 as a “hyper-realistic” full-CG film, Disney’s The Lion King features this song from the show.

It’s a romantic number in which Simba, while grappling with his past, falls in love with Nala.

In the hyper-realistic version, Kento Kaku as Simba and Yoko Kadoyama as Nala delivered beautiful harmonies.

Just like in the film, it’s highly recommended for couples—male and female—to sing together at karaoke! It’s also fun to bring friends along and have them take on Timon and Pumbaa’s parts.
