Rising SunEXILE
EXILE’s “Rising Sun” is also well-known as a charity song created to support recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Its powerful dance performance and the emotionally rich vocals of ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO are truly captivating.
It’s a famous track even beyond the fanbase, so it’s guaranteed to hype up any karaoke session.

Mr.Parka jr. ft. Dr.TurtleneckMr.Parka jr
Mr.
Parka jr.
is a character by the comedy duo Chocolate Planet—a rapper who wears a parka—and he’s extremely popular on YouTube and TV.
Among Mr.
Parka jr.’s works, the one I especially recommend is “Mr.
Parka jr.
ft.
Dr.
Turtleneck.” The back-and-forth with Dr.
Turtleneck—a turtleneck-wearing rapper character played by Matsuo—is highly unique, making it an ideal song to sing together with friends.
Roco LotionORANGE RANGE
If you’re looking for a song that gets everyone shouting along, “Locolotion” is a great pick.
It’s a track released in 2004 by the rock band ORANGE RANGE.
The song depicts a romance between a handsome man and a beautiful woman set on the beach.
Enjoy its comedic storyline and summery vibe, and don’t forget to throw in some call-and-response.
Plus, the steady tempo makes it easy to sway to the rhythm and belt out the lyrics, which is part of its appeal.
TRAIN-TRAINTHE BLUE HEARTS
TRAIN-TRAIN, the major-label 5th single that was used as the theme song for the TV drama High School Graffiti and is known as one of their signature tracks.
Its straightforward, not-just-pretty words message proves how THE BLUE HEARTS earned overwhelming support from junior high and high school students nationwide.
The tempo is fast, so you need to be careful not to fall behind the rhythm, but because the melody doesn’t have big ups and downs, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s a rock tune everyone knows, guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session.

Their song Joyful, included on the 2009 single YELL/Joyful, became a huge hit as the theme for a Pocky commercial.
With a bright, dance-inducing vibe, it’s perfect for cranking up the energy at karaoke.
In the chorus, it feels even more exhilarating if one person takes the harmony part and you sing it as a duo.
And when you go with a big group of friends or coworkers, belting out the entire chorus together—rather than harmonizing—can be a great way to blow off steam!
