[2026] Recommended for Karaoke! A Compilation of Popular Female Idol Songs

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Every song is catchy and easy to remember, and with choreography included, they’re ideal for livening up any karaoke session! Whether you love idol songs or haven’t been interested before, take this opportunity to check them out.

Sorrow Calibrationmousou kyaribureeshon

This is a song that was also used as a TV show’s theme.

Its slightly bittersweet lyrics about heartbreak are part of its appeal.

If you sing it with a touch of sorrow, it will likely come across as sultry.

There’s a distinctive call-and-response in the instrumental break, so everyone who knows it can join in and have fun.

Compared to AKB48, NMB48 tends to have a cooler image, but they also sing cute songs like this.

It’s an upbeat track, so I think listeners will enjoy it too.

The music video is adorable, so be sure to sing it with the visuals if you can.

[Momoiro Clover Z MV] Farewell, My Beloved Sorrows / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER Z / Saraba Itoshiki Kanashimi Tachiyo)

Farewell, my beloved sorrowsMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

This song became popular as a TV drama’s theme song, and it also drew attention because it was composed by Tomoyasu Hotei.

While Momoclo usually has many fast-paced tracks, this one isn’t that fast, so it’s easier to sing at karaoke.

It combines both coolness and cuteness.
