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!

Everything becomes my strength!kuzu

"Kuzu" - "Everything will become my strength!" with lyrics (in the description)
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!

Bakufu Slump - Runner (High Quality)

That intro alone is enough to raise your body temperature—surely everyone’s heard it at least once.

A signature song by Bakufu Slump, this rock number captivates with its exhilarating drive and fiery message.

While it paints scenes from a track-and-field club, the behind-the-scenes story that it actually sings about parting ways with a band member is especially moving.

Released as a single in October 1988, it was also included on the album “HIGH LANDER.” At the time, it became widely known through its use as background music on the TV show “Genius! Takeshi’s Genki ga Deru TV!!” When you need a push on your back, why not belt it out at karaoke?

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!
