Fun karaoke song recommendations: A roundup of danceable and hype tracks (11–20)
Loverssumika
One of sumika’s signature songs, it’s a big crowd-pleaser at live shows and perfect for everyone to sing along! The overall vocal range is F3 to C#5, and it modulates up for the last chorus.
Since it has a fresh, upbeat feel, keeping a bright tone will help you hit the high notes and make it to the end comfortably.
Because it’s a band sound, be sure to listen closely to the drums and lock into the groove.
Also, sounds in the “na” row can be harder to articulate because they tend to be nasal.
Since every hook starts with “ne,” try bringing your energy up more than you think—you’ll project better and find it easier to sing!
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO
This is the first major-label single by SHISHAMO, a three-piece all-girl band winning support especially among younger listeners with life-sized, vividly picturable lyrics and a simple yet robust rock sound.
The lyrical words that evoke the summers of our youth likely resonated with many listeners.
Its pop melody over a breezy arrangement feels perfect for singing your heart out at karaoke.
A great karaoke pick for women that brings both relatability and energy to the room.
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
Starting with the concept of “idols you can go to meet,” which overturned the conventional idea of idols at the time, AKB48—now synonymous with idols in the J-POP scene—released this as their 32nd major single.
Announced with the catchphrase, “Dance to ‘KoiChun’ and you’ll forget all the bad things,” it became a massive hit thanks to its disco-based arrangement.
Its simple choreography that anyone can dance to makes it perfect for everyone to sing and dance together at karaoke.
A timeless J-POP classic that gets people excited across generations.
together; along with; bothWANIMA
It’s WANIMA’s second single and was used in Nivea Kao’s “8×4 Body Fresh” commercial.
The chorus really sticks in your head—even for me.
The overall vocal range is G#3 to D#5, which is on the higher side, and the tempo is an ultra-fast BPM 254, but if you lock into the band’s rhythm and sing along, your energy will definitely rise and it should actually make it easier to project your voice! If you let your guard down even for a moment, your pitch will drop into your throat and it’ll get harder to sing, so you need to keep your facial muscles lifted at all times.
For the rapid-fire section in the latter half, first run through the melody line and pronounce it lightly to get it under your belt!
Adventure Beyondchōtokkyū
It’s a full-on, high-energy uptempo track that’s so typical of Choutokkyuu, and it really gets the crowd going at live shows, with lots of call-and-response parts where everyone can shout together! The overall vocal range is two octaves, from C#3 to C#5, but thanks to the headbanging sections and the many unique lyrics sprinkled with otaku terms and internet slang, you’ll find the high notes come out easily if you sing brightly and keep the hype up.
Don’t worry about pitch—just have fun singing, that’s the most important thing! By the way, I love Ryoga’s funny faces during the song and I always burst out laughing, lol.
Definitely check out the video!
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS
A four-piece rock band whose name comes from a coined term with contradictory meanings like “cool coward” and “splendid wimp,” RADWIMPS’ song was written specifically as an insert track for the animated film Your Name, which became a social phenomenon.
The emotionally charged lyrics that tie in with the film’s story are outstanding.
With a thrilling, fast-paced arrangement, it’s guaranteed to lift your spirits from the very first notes.
A modern rock tune with punchy phrases that will liven up any karaoke session.

Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
While prominently featuring their style of not playing instruments, the visual kei air band Golden Bomber captivates listeners with highly polished songs and outrageous performances in their seventh single.
This signature number of Golden Bomber blends a melody reminiscent of classic Japanese pop with a modern rock sound to pump up the energy.
With distinctive yet simple choreography—starting with the window-wiping dance—it’s perfect for karaoke, where everyone can sing and dance together.
It’s a massive hit that everyone knows, enriched with a variety of musical elements in its arrangement.
