LOVE MachineMōningu Musume.
While formed by members selected from those who did not pass an audition project, the girl group Morning Musume has become synonymous with idols in the J-POP scene.
This is their seventh single.
It became the group’s first million-selling record and a signature song that made the name Morning Musume known to listeners across generations.
With an arrangement based on disco sounds and comical choreography, it’s perfect for enjoying together at karaoke.
Boasting exceptionally catchy lyrics and melody, it’s a quintessential Heisei-era karaoke number.
Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
This is the major-label debut single by the three-piece rock band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, known for the contrast between their modern loud sound driven by a 7-string guitar and a 5-string bass, and lyrics that chronicle everyday life.
The song’s theme—something every Japanese person can relate to—became a hot topic and was one of the reasons they were appointed as a special “FAN-bassador Rock” by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 2019.
Its rapidly shifting arrangement and relentless melody make it a perfect crowd-pleaser for karaoke, where everyone can sing along and get hyped.
It’s a rock tune highly recommended for karaoke that will raise the energy for both singers and listeners.
A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
This is the 11th single by singer Yoko Takahashi, written as the opening theme for the TV anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Although it’s an anime song, it’s popular even among listeners who don’t know the series, and it consistently ranks high in karaoke charts.
Its arrangement—pop yet majestic—and its powerful melody really boost your energy when you sing it.
It’s a track that transcends eras and genres, a number that dominated the karaoke scene of the Heisei era.
runnerbakufū suranpu
The 12th single by Bakufu Slump, a four-piece rock band known for their outrageous live performances and exhilarating songs that evoke the spirit of youth.
Used as an insert song on the variety show “Genius! Takeshi’s Health and Vitality TV,” it became one of the group’s signature tracks that brought their name to a wide audience.
While the song seems to express the irrational twists of life through its repeated key changes, its powerful, straightforward melody resonates in the heart without weighing you down.
A rock tune that blends a sense of speed with a touch of melancholy—sure to fire up any karaoke session.
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
It’s no exaggeration to say this legendary rock band, THE BLUE HEARTS, established the punk sound in the J-POP scene from the 1980s onward.
This was their major-label debut single, and a song synonymous with the band—still a staple today as a cheer song at high school baseball games.
Its fast, catchy melody is guaranteed to crank up the energy at karaoke.
It’s a rock tune perfect for livening up the room—try channeling vocalist Hiroto Kōmoto and go wild for extra fun.
Something like “happy”Sabasusutā
This song was released on New Year’s Day 2025 and was used in au’s commercial song for the “Santaro Series: Everyone, Let’s Happy!” segment.
You probably remember hearing it over the New Year.
As the title suggests, it’s a positive, emotional anthem that stands up to unfair kinds of happiness.
It’s a slightly up-tempo band track, so you’ll want to lock into the rhythm.
The vocal range shouldn’t be too high.
Even for those not used to karaoke, it’s in a key that many women will find easy to sing.
Above all, it’s all about feeling.
I recommend singing boldly without hesitation!
Dance, please.DISH//
DISH//’s masterpiece Odoryanse, released digitally in September 2025.
It’s a highly unique track, with a distinct, shallow-sounding auto-tune applied throughout.
Overall it follows a J-rock flow, but the pre-chorus shifts into a slightly reggae-like feel, and the chorus unfolds with a murky, almost visual kei-style melody.
Because the song packs so many developments into a single track, it’s a bit less singable, but you can expect it to be a real crowd-pleaser in terms of energy.
