Recommended fun songs for karaoke: A roundup of danceable and hype tracks (51–60)
Choo Choo TRAINEXILE
If you want to hype up the karaoke room with an EXILE song, you can’t leave out “Choo Choo TRAIN”! It’s no exaggeration to say everyone knows this track—it’s the song that catapulted EXILE to fame and a true emblem of its era.
With its fun, infectious rhythm and the signature “spinning dance” moves that anyone can imitate, it’s a number you can enjoy solo or with a group, singing and dancing together.
While EXILE is known for their strong vocals, this song’s melody line is simple and easy to sing, and its high recognition factor guarantees excitement.
It’s a massive hit that’s perfect for unleashing pure joy while you sing.
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.
While the difficulty is somewhat high, it’s a great pick to sing and dance to and get everyone involved.
Splitting the vocal parts between singers will make it even more exciting!
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.
Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, who can fairly be called the reigning champions of the Reiwa-era J-POP charts.
Every song they release becomes a hit, they boast an overwhelming number of listeners, and they’re wildly popular at karaoke.
That said, given their exceptional songwriting sense, meticulously crafted ensemble, and melodies spanning a wide vocal range delivered by Mr.
Omori’s incredible vocals, it’s honestly not easy to sing their songs well.
With that in mind, Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024, falls into the relatively easy-to-sing category.
Its lyrics—also serving as the theme song for the film Saint Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men vs.
the Demon Army—are highly relatable and are sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Just be aware that there’s a brief section of irregular meter in the middle, but once you’ve got the overall flow down, you’ll be able to sing it smoothly.

Brain Narcotics Remix feat. CHEHON, MAKA, Ku-Jun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keithRAY
The track “Nounai Mayaku Remix feat.
CHEHON, MAKA, Kujun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keith” is currently blowing up in the hip-hop and reggae scenes.
Born from DJ RAY’s entry into the battle scene, it features verses that transcend the boundaries between hip-hop and reggae.
The hook in this piece has a very narrow vocal range by RAY’s standards, so many people should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.
Heads, be sure to add it to your repertoire.
