Recommended fun karaoke songs: A roundup of danceable and hype tracks (1–10)
loveHoshino Gen
This is the ninth single by singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, who has been taking the J-pop scene by storm with his distinctive pop sensibilities and sharp songwriting.
Used as the theme song for the TV drama “We Married as a Job,” the track’s driving arrangement and catchy melody are guaranteed to lift your spirits.
With elements that get crowds going—like the “Koi Dance,” whose choreography became a social phenomenon—it’s a surefire hit at karaoke.
A modern karaoke staple, this pop tune is recommended for listeners across a wide range of ages.
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
A five-member rock band, Sakanaction, whose name was chosen to convey a positive stance of not fearing change, released this as their 11th single.
Written specifically as the theme song for the film “Bakuman,” the track strikes a superb balance between retro and modern elements.
From the vintage variety-show atmosphere evoked in the music video to the contrast between the verses and the chorus, it’s the kind of song that would really get people going if recreated at karaoke.
Comical yet meticulously arranged, it’s an excellent pop tune recommended for karaoke.
danceNEW!Ado
It was selected as the theme song for NHK’s music program “Yakou Ongaku VocaloP 5min.” I hear the show features a different Vocaloid producer each time and introduces how Vocaloid music is made.
Among those songs, many people probably think, “I want to sing that!” when it’s a track sung not by a synthesized voice but by Ado.
I like ‘Odo’ too and used to sing it a lot, but when I thought, “Let’s sing it again after a while!” and tried it at karaoke the other day, the melody had completely slipped my mind and I couldn’t sing it at all…
It really drove home how, if you don’t listen regularly, you forget such a complex melody.
I get the impression it has dramatic pitch jumps and lots of melodic figures.
Still, the belted parts in the chorus are truly cool, and it feels great to sing—highly recommended!
Star Lablationkerakera
This is the second single by Kerakera, a three-member music unit formed in 2010 after meeting on the social networking site mixi.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Last Cinderella,” and its clear, soaring vocals feel incredibly refreshing.
With a dynamic beat and a lavish arrangement, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Its positive message will lift your spirits—an upbeat tune that’s perfect for karaoke.
Whimsical Romanticikimonogakari
This is the 12th single by the duo Ikimono-gakari, used as the theme song for the TV drama Celeb to Binbo Taro.
The song structure transitions from an opening that uses 8-bit sounds reminiscent of early Famicom to an exhilarating musical style, showcasing the breadth of Ikimono-gakari’s musical range.
With its driving arrangement and included choreography, it’s a track everyone can join in on at karaoke.
It’s also known as a live staple that always gets the crowd pumped—a perfect karaoke song to boost the energy.
ultra soulB’z
The 31st single by the solitary rock unit B’z, which has recorded 15 million-selling singles and 19 million-selling albums to date.
This rock tune is widely known as one of B’z’s signature songs, and many people have likely heard it at least once as the theme song for the World Aquatics Championships broadcasts.
With its energetic melody and chorus-heavy hook, it’s a great song for getting everyone hyped together at karaoke.
However, because the vocal range is quite wide, be sure to adjust the key on the karaoke machine if it doesn’t suit your voice.
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze
A four-member reggae group, Shonan no Kaze, known for electrifying fans with live performances that unite them with the audience, delivers their sixth single.
It’s an upbeat track featuring Trinidad and Tobago’s traditional music, soca, and it’s also recognized as a local anthem for Kanagawa Prefecture.
With its driving arrangement and relentless melody, it’s sure to fire up any karaoke session.
It’s a perfect pick for large-group karaoke—guaranteed to make you want to whirl a towel like you’re at a live show and go wild.
