cherry blossom colorAnjura Aki
Among the songs by singer-songwriter Angela Aki, this one is well loved as a spring song.
She wrote it about her feelings from the time when she was striving toward becoming a musician.
Because of that, it can be taken not only as a self-empowering anthem, but also—as the lyrics suggest—as a song that lets you think about a cherished person from whom you’ve been separated.
The big belting point is definitely the beginning of the chorus.
If you can nail those soaring, expansive high notes, it’ll feel amazing for sure! If the range is tough, try lowering the key and give it a shot.

A classic song representing 2000s J-pop and one of Yo Hitoto’s most popular tracks.
Because of that, it’s beloved across generations and has become a karaoke staple.
While it’s not an uptempo, high-energy number, the simple accompaniment highlights Hitoto’s uniquely resonant vocals, making it perfect for belting out at karaoke.
With its expansive, refreshing melody, it’s sure to feel amazing if you can sing it all the way through!
Crossing Amagi PassIshikawa Sayuri
There are countless songs you might want to belt out at karaoke, but choosing this one earns my respect: Sayuri Ishikawa’s “Amagi-goe.” Nothing can top its sense of presence and sheer power.
It’s a soulful enka number you’ll want to sing with heart, care, and a keen feel for the rhythm.
Even the rough-edged words should carry a sharp intensity, as the arrangement builds and builds in power—pour in both sensuality and soul! And when that famous phrase comes, give it everything you’ve got.
What kind of view will you see after that? May it blow away all your everyday frustrations!
FREEDOMNishikawa Takanori with t.komuro
An up-tempo number born from the collaboration between Takanori Nishikawa and Tetsuya Komuro.
The powerful vocals and catchy melody pierce straight into your heart.
Released in January 2024 as the theme song for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM.
The lyrics, which sing of hope and freedom, are striking, and the soaring chorus is irresistible! It’s also surprising that Komuro returned to work on a Gundam series track for the first time in 35 years.
Highly recommended for those who want to belt it out at karaoke—hit those soaring high notes and you’re guaranteed to feel exhilarated!

A world of searing sound where heavy, robust rock intertwines with emotional melodies.
Included on their seventh album Nonnegative, released in April 2022, this track was created to commemorate coldrain’s 15th anniversary.
Infused with the band’s journey to date and gratitude to their fans, this soul-stirring song showcases Masato’s overwhelming vocals and shouts that hit you right in the heart.

7 on Germany’s rock airplay chart—it stands out as a globally recognized track.
Its first live performance at VIVA LA ROCK 2022 in Saitama Super Arena sent the venue into a frenzy.
It’s the perfect anthem to push you forward when you want to move ahead with strong will and passion.

(sic)boy is a crossover artist who’s gained popularity for his wide-ranging sound, from hip-hop to rock.
With a visual-kei-like appearance delivering trap, every track keeps us on our toes.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for shouting along is “Dark Horse feat.
JESSE (RIZE / The BONEZ) Prod.
KM.” It carries a Linkin Park-like vibe, and every section has parts you can really scream to.
Bye-Good-ByeBE:FIRST
This is the second single by BE:FIRST, a seven-member boy group formed from winners of an audition led by SKY-HI, known as the rapper of the dance-vocal group AAA.
Selected as the theme song for the drama “Before We Say Goodbye: Fantastic 31 Days” within the information program ZIP!, this number’s catchy chorus and modern arrangement make it irresistibly addictive.
With rapid-fire melodic developments and sleek rap parts, it’s a track you can belt out with friends at karaoke.
