giftedNEWS
A song by NEWS featured as the theme for the drama “Gifted.” Its sound weaves a dramatic story, and the stirring lyrics resonate deeply with listeners.
Offering a chance to reconsider the unique “gift” everyone possesses, the track was released as NEWS’s 30th single in November 2023 and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It’s a perfect song not only for romantic scenes, but also for those who haven’t yet noticed the feelings sleeping within them or who are about to take a new step forward.
King & Queen & JokerSexy Zone
Many of you were likely captivated by Kento Nakajima playing the “King,” Shori Sato the “Queen,” and Fuma Kikuchi the “Joker.” Released in May 2014 as Sexy Zone’s sixth single, the song uses the world of playing cards as a motif to portray the push and pull of a fated romance.
The highlight is its dramatic sound, where a passionate dance beat fuses with pop rock.
It’s a mood-lifting track—perfect for when you want to immerse yourself in a thrilling love story!
Asymmetrynaniwa danshi
With the recent boom of K-POP and the like, I think it’s become more common for guys to sing idol songs even at karaoke with just men.
One track I recommend is Naniwa Danshi’s “Asymmetric.” Naniwa Danshi have always excelled at a more orthodox musical style, and this song in particular is crafted with an extremely catchy melody reminiscent of Arashi in the mid-Heisei era, so it’s sure to get everyone hyped.
The phrase right before the chorus is a bit distinctive, so be mindful of the sudden pitch changes there and prepare to handle them.
Sweetest TuneTravis Japan
A sweet and bittersweet love song that rhythmically captures the flutter and confusion of falling in love.
Lightly singing of pure feelings for the other person, this track was released in June 2024 as an insert song for the TV Asahi drama “Tokyo Tower,” and is also included on Travis Japan’s album “VIIsual.” It’s a song anyone harboring pure romantic feelings won’t be able to help but relate to—perfect for those who want to spend a heart-fluttering moment with bright, pop sounds.
Cinderella ChristmasKinKi Kids
It’s a sparkling, classic Christmas song that makes you want to hum along about “spending the holy night with your lover”! It’s not up-tempo or a ballad, but sits at a perfect in-between pace, so it’s easy to find good spots to breathe and keep a groove while singing.
The melodic line from verse to pre-chorus to chorus is smooth, making it easy for beginners to learn.
Up to the chorus it stays relatively low, so be careful not to let your voice get muffled.
Try to sing with care and project clearly into the mic! It’s also popular as a duet, perfect for harmonizing with a friend.
Of course, it’s a lovely song to sing solo as well! Sparkly songs like this are easy to sing at karaoke and highly recommended!

Summer PatternKinKi Kids
This is KinKi Kids’ 23rd single, whose blend of a nostalgic Okinawan scale and Showa-era pop melody strikes a chord.
The melody and lyrics conjure scenes of summers gone by, tightening the chest and inviting many listeners to bask in that wistful nostalgia.
Released in July 2006, the song debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, extending their streak of consecutive No.
1 releases since debut to 23.
It’s also included on the album “I album -iD-.” This is a song that gently keeps you company on summer evenings when you want to sink into memories with a touch of sentimentality.
Our Great JourneyKing&Prince
A song for which C&K provided the composition, performed by King & Prince! Its exhilarating, up-tempo melody evokes an endless blue sky and a shining sun, setting listeners’ hearts dancing.
Brimming with positive energy, it feels like an anthem about stepping into an unknown journey with friends and moving forward just as your heart leads.
This track is included on the limited First Press Edition A of their third album “Re:Sense,” released in July 2021.
Play it on a summer drive or at a lively get-together with friends, and it will surely lift the mood even higher.
And when you need the courage to take a new step, it might just give you a gentle push forward.
