SUNRISE Japanarashi
SUNRISE Japan is a song that evokes the image of a hopeful new morning and a youthful sense of momentum.
Despite feelings of anxiety or doubt, its lyrics about moving toward the future with your friends will surely give many listeners a push forward.
Released as a single in April 2000, it was also loved as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Professional Baseball News 2000.” Its rhythmic groove makes it perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke.
The key to the rap section is to ride the beat and sing it with fun energy.
It’s a great song to try when you want to brighten the mood or enjoy a sense of unity with everyone.
D.D.Snow Man
With a powerful beat, a track was born that lets the individuality of all nine members shine.
It’s a song filled with Snow Man’s strong passion for their dreams and their determination to move forward.
Released in January 2020 as a joint debut with SixTONES, it sold 1.328 million copies in its first week and topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
An uplifting anthem meant for those striving to overcome hardship and keep moving ahead, it’s a gem packed with a heartfelt message and a flawlessly synchronized dance performance by the nine members.
Glass BoyKinKi Kids
The debut single of Kinki Kids, the duo of Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto, is “Glass no Shonen.” The lyrics were written by Takashi Matsumoto and the music composed by Tatsuro Yamashita—an impressive lineup.
Despite being a debut song, its minor-key melody evokes kayōkyoku more than pop.
At the same time, the lyrics sing about the fragile, glass-like nature of boys and girls, which I think helped it gain popularity across generations.
It’s also a favorite at karaoke regardless of age, so definitely consider choosing it!
Fluttering Cherry BlossomSnow Man
In this song, which serves as the theme for the stage production “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO,” Snow Man delivers a dazzling performance accompanied by elegant, classical Japanese lyrics.
The show is renowned for its dreamlike staging and refined costumes, and the performance of dancing amid a flurry of cherry blossoms drew significant attention on social media.
It’s a powerful track for moments when you want to feel the arrival of spring or are about to take a new step forward.
Shout out lovearashi
Arashi’s song “Ai wo Sakebe,” known as the CM song for Recruit’s “Zexy,” is a bright, dance-inducing track in contrast to the many mellow wedding songs out there.
It’s a wonderful song you’ll want to gift when someone special gets married.
The tempo is a bit fast, but the melody doesn’t have large pitch jumps, so it should be easy to sing at karaoke.
Since the lyrics are like a man speaking to the bride, it’s a song I’d especially love to see men try.
Sora-buneTOKIO
TOKIO’s signature song “Sorafune” was released on August 23, 2006.
It became a hit as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “My Boss My Hero,” starring the group’s Tomoya Nagase, and was also chosen as the entrance march for the opening ceremony of the 79th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament held in March 2007.
It also drew attention for being written and composed by singer Miyuki Nakajima.
The powerful, message-driven lyrics and melody characteristic of Nakajima, delivered with a bold, soaring vocal by Nagase, left a lasting impression.
It’s a great song to sing at karaoke, so be sure to give it a try!
passwordSnow Man
Snow Man is a nine-member idol group that captivates fans with high-level acrobatics and dance performances.
“Aikotoba,” which opens their third album, i DO ME, is striking for its radiant sound and a melody that’s gentle yet powerful.
Its message about the bonds and connections with loved ones will likely warm the hearts of listeners, even those who aren’t fans.
Overflowing with a sense of love throughout, it’s a quintessential J-pop number.
