Fun karaoke song recommendations: A roundup of danceable and hype tracks (21–30)
NINE LIVESchōtokkyū
This is a dance number by Choutokkyuu released on September 24, 2025.
The song’s theme is the proverb “A cat has nine lives,” and it features lots of cat-related words.
Choutokkyuu often has songs with high vocals, but NINE LIVES isn’t one that keeps pushing into ultra-high notes, so once you lock into the rhythm, it should be pretty singable! Since it’s a twin-vocal track, there may be spots where singing solo is tricky timing-wise, but the song’s vibe is super cool, so definitely use it to hype up the karaoke room! In general, you can get a strong, steady tone if you resonate in both your head and chest; try placing a hand on your chest to feel that chest resonance as you sing.
By the way, TAKASHI, Choutokkyuu’s vocalist, raises his eyebrows quite a lot when he sings.
It also makes it easier to hit the right pitches, so give it a try!
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!

As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE
“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.
I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.
Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.
Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.
When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.
Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.
Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.
It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!
companion on the road; fellow traveler; taking someone along (often unwillingly)Hoshimachi Suisei
This is a 2023 song by Suisei Hoshimachi, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement by Ayase from YOASOBI.
The song features many key changes throughout, resulting in a very dramatic piece.
While the overall vocal range is on the lower side, the range shifts between sections, making it enjoyable for those who find simpler songs unsatisfying.
For singers accustomed to high notes, it may feel low, so raising the key a bit could make it easier to sing.
From around the pre-chorus (B-melo), the pitch changes with almost every word, so it’s best to go through each note one by one, as if stepping up and down stairs.
Switching between head voice and chest voice is essential, so practice smooth transitions and aim to hit the pitch accurately—think of maintaining a slightly surprised expression to help with placement.
It seems to be a staple in Hoshimachi’s live performances, so learning this song will definitely be worthwhile!
Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU
This is the 15th single by GMU, the idol group serving as sightseeing ambassadors for Aomori City.
The song incorporates elements of Baroque music and has a somewhat nostalgic feel.
I think it’s a track that can be performed solo and still sound cool and exciting! Listening from the A melody, it gives the impression of having quite a lot of low notes.
High notes can be easier to hit when you project your voice with energy, but low notes are the opposite: if you use plenty of breath and release your voice slowly, as if right in front of you, it becomes easier to stay on pitch.
There are many tips for this, but the most important is to let a “bundle” of breath out slowly in front of you.
I used to struggle with low notes myself, but as I studied vocal training and experimented, this method made it much easier for me to sing low notes.
Since we don’t often use low voices in daily life, it’s natural not to be accustomed to them.
When you sing, try to keep these tips in mind!
Good luck!Utakata Pātīzu
It has a somewhat anime-like vibe, with a refreshing, easy-to-listen phrase that sticks in your head! The tempo is relatively fast, so it might be best to start by memorizing the melody.
When it’s time to sing, as long as you ride the groove properly, you’ll be set! The melody is quite straightforward, so you should get used to the song quickly.
There’s call-and-response in the A section, so if you look at the lyrics from the beginning, you should be able to learn it without getting confused.
Also, for the high notes in the chorus, rather than belting, sing lightly to match the song’s feel—aim to relax while keeping the rhythm with your body.
Since it’s an idol-style song, lifting your facial muscles into a smile will help you relax on its own.
After that, try singing without forcing it, imagining your voice lightly placed forward, around the area in front of your eyebrows!
chantAdo
It’s the official theme song of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event—the one that became famous for the zombie dance! It’s an extremely challenging song packed with high-pitched shouts, low, spoken parts, and rap-like sections.
I learned it together with my students during lessons, too! Of course, once you can sing it well, it’s incredibly fun and satisfying! Some of the lyrics use difficult words, so I recommend listening to the original and memorizing them carefully one by one.
The tempo is very fast and you have to keep singing one line after another, but if you push too hard, you can wreck your throat, and if you hold back too much, it loses impact.
If you use your breath well and project your falsetto strongly, you can sing with a cool, powerful tone! Also, since it’s a dance track, once you feel more comfortable, try moving your body or swaying as you sing—you’ll lock into the rhythm, your voice will come out more easily, and it’ll be easier to add accents!
