I Wishnaniwa danshi
I Wish, the sixth single by Naniwa Danshi, was chosen as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama My Second Aoharu.
The melody has the feel of a Heisei-era idol song, with a moderate mid-tempo.
The vocal range spans from mid1 G# to hi B, with the highest chest note at hi A.
Both the falsetto and chest voice peak notes only appear in the final chorus, so overall it leans more toward a mid-to-high range rather than purely high.
Its catchiness is outstanding, so it’s sure to go over great at karaoke.
Ultra Music PowerHey! Say! JUMP
This is Hey! Say! JUMP’s debut song, overflowing with fresh appeal.
Released in 2007 and used as the image song for the Volleyball World Cup, “Ultra Music Power” has the energy to brighten any scene.
It carries a slightly emotional feel, and its hopeful, positive message is uplifting.
The refreshing vibe and universally appealing melody are wonderful, making it a great recommendation as the first track to warm up the atmosphere.
Wonderful Worldarashi
A song that continues to be loved as one of Arashi’s hidden gems.
It was included on their 2005 album “One” and is also known as the ending theme for the variety show “Mago Mago Arashi.” The lyrics, which portray the struggle and loneliness of everyday life while still striving toward the future, are deeply moving.
Although it was never released as a single, its beautiful and easy-to-remember melody has made it a popular choice for karaoke.
The vocal range isn’t too wide and it’s comfortable to sing, so why not pick it when you want a gentle, heartfelt moment with friends or when you want to convey the message of the song with care?
The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP
One of the Johnny’s groups that defined the Heisei era, SMAP, released their 35th single, “Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana,” on March 5, 2003.
It also drew attention for being written and composed by Noriyuki Makihara.
Among songs released in the Heisei period, it was the first to achieve triple million sales, and it’s a tune that people of all generations have likely heard at least once and can hum along to.
It’s a peaceful number that celebrates everyone’s individuality—not competing, but respecting one another.
Since it’s a song everyone knows, it’s a great choice to get the crowd going at karaoke regardless of age!

encoreHey! Say! JUMP
This song really brings out the best in the group! With lots of unison and harmonies, it’s fun both to sing and to listen to.
Idol groups don’t usually have a strong image of using harmonies, but lately everyone’s vocal skills have been improving, so instead of just unison, there are members who handle harmonies too, which makes it more enjoyable to listen to! The harmonies in this song mostly move a third above, so they’re easy to understand and sing.
Since it’s a group song, I think it would be fun to split the parts among your favorite members and sing it that way!
Life goes onKing&Prince
This song was included as the title track of the 12th single released in February 2023.
It was used as the ending theme for the drama “Yugure ni, Te wo Tsunagu,” starring Ren Nagase.
It’s a motivational song with a down-to-earth message that accepts everyday doubts and anxieties while giving you a gentle push, saying, “Tomorrow will surely be better.” Its breezy pop melody lets you relax and warms the listener’s heart.
The choreography by s**t kingz’s Oguri also became a hot topic, and the dance shown in the drama’s ending drew a lot of attention.
Achieving million-selling status in its first week, it’s a record-breaking track that’s perfect for getting everyone excited together.
It’s an uplifting song, so be sure to try singing it at karaoke!
Everythingarashi
This piece is memorable for its melody that evokes the bittersweet feel of twilight and a sense of hope for tomorrow.
It carries a message that no matter how long or steep the hill, we should keep walking, believing in what lies ahead, and it has a warmth that gently gives listeners a supportive push.
Released as a single in July 2009, it’s widely known as the song used in the au commercial featuring the members.
It’s also included on the popular album “Boku no Miteiru Fūkei.” With its gentle tempo and a comfortable vocal range, it’s perfect for karaoke.
The build-up of emotion toward the chorus is satisfying, and by the time you finish singing, you’re sure to feel more positive.
