Uplifting Karaoke Song Recommendations [Cheer/Positive Songs] (1–10)
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
A pop dance number by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
It became a hot topic thanks to its flashy music video where the members themselves show off their dance moves! The overall vocal range is A3 to F#5, and aside from the very last high note in the chorus, it’s a range most male singers can handle.
If you consciously keep your energy high, your facial muscles and eyebrows will naturally lift, making it easier to project your voice! The rhythm is distinctive—if you feel it with a bouncy swing or count it in double-time, you’ll likely find it easier to groove and sing along.
For the high notes at the end of the melody, don’t be afraid—charge in with momentum! Aim to let it all out and project your voice confidently!
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.
Good Luck!SixTONES
This is a cheer song written for the drama “Saisho wa Paa,” starring Jesse from SixTONES.
Released in November 2022, it might be the poppiest and freshest-sounding track in SixTONES’ history.
It carries a straightforward message to everyone chasing their dreams: keep moving forward just as you are.
With the songwriter having deeply studied the group while creating the piece, it radiates a power that lifts your spirits just by listening.
It’s a song that will surely give you strength when you want to take on a challenge or when you’re feeling a little low.

HappinessAI
Released in December 2011, this song was once used for Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign.
The opening bell sound really evokes winter and Christmas! I’m sure many of you have heard it before.
The song itself has R&B elements, with a groove that makes you move your body, and the rhythm is a bit unique.
If you try singing it without preparation, you might feel a slight rhythmic mismatch, so some practice is recommended.
Also, the song’s highest note, D#5 right before the last chorus, has tricky timing—make sure to nail it! There are lots of chorus parts too, so singing it as a duo with harmonies will sound really cool.
It’s a song that portrays “everyday love” and a “sense of happiness.” Enjoy it at karaoke!
breakfastMrs. GREEN APPLE
Released on June 4, 2025 and used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Sun! Shine,” the track centers on themes of “new beginnings,” “hope,” and “starting over.” It’s the kind of song that makes you feel refreshed and helps reset your mood.
The vocal range is fairly wide at C3–F#5, but if you’re comfortable with falsetto, it should be relatively easy to sing.
The overall rhythm has a bouncy feel, so try lightly singing while keeping time with your hands up and down like “1-2-1-2,” and generally aim your hands upward as if you’re watching a live performance.
Moving your whole body in the same way will also make it easier to sing.
Since the transitions between chest voice and falsetto are clearly defined in this song, you’ll be fine as long as you commit to your voice without hesitation!
I want to keep smiling.ikimonogakari
A resolute will that simply keeps facing forward comes through and makes my heart swell.
Released in July 2011 as Ikimono-gakari’s 20th single, it was used as the commercial song for Nissan’s “New Nissan Serena.” It’s an up-tempo number that conveys a heartfelt wish to keep smiling even in difficult times, straight and true.
Even though it runs over six minutes, the grand arrangement by Seiji Kameda and the powerful vocals by Kiyoe Yoshioka blend so beautifully that it feels like it’s over in a flash.
The song won an Excellence Award at the 53rd Japan Record Awards and is also included on the album NEWTRAL.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling down or need energy for tomorrow.
The beginning of the worldDomoto Koichi
This track is defined by a grand, uplifting sound that hints at the dawn of a new world.
Its powerful beat and dramatic arrangement intertwine to deliver a sense of exhilaration, as if you’re watching the opening of a fantasy film.
Featured as the lead track on the sixth album “RAISE,” released in September 2025, it’s the kind of song that gives you strength when you’re starting something new or need to reset and move forward.
A powerful pop number that rings with hope for the future.
