Kyentamadoburokku

The comedy duo Doburokku’s famous song “Kyentama.” It became a nationwide hit after being performed on the sketch show “Chidori no Kusesugo!,” hosted by the duo Chidori.

The song’s biggest appeal is, without a doubt, the explosive chorus.

They belt out the straightforward word “kyentama” with an energetic voice that somehow also has a touch of cuteness, and the result is exquisitely surreal and funny.

You could even say it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at all-male drinking parties.

When you think of karaoke, isn’t it often tied to scenes involving alcohol—like heading out after drinks with friends, or a New Year’s gathering where there’s always a tipsy uncle in the mix?

It’s a song that resonates with people who love a drink, cheerfully celebrating how every season offers some kind of excuse to enjoy alcohol.

It’s a feel-good number that will get everyone going at karaoke—even those who don’t drink.

A breakup song with a dash of humor might be a surprisingly good idea.

It’s a track by Okazaki Taiiku from his EP “Suplex,” released in March 2024—despite the title, it’s an incredibly high-energy piece.

Places full of memories with a lover—like movie theaters and amusement parks—pop up one after another.

But what he wants to say to his ex is basically a tossed-off curse: “Regret breaking up with me for the rest of your life!” Still, maybe a breakup that makes you feel that strongly actually helps you bounce back faster in the end.

Sing it at karaoke and it’s sure to spark laughs and resonate with people.

A Sign of CourageUshiwakamaru Santarō

Many of you have probably tried Regain, the energy drink sold by Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare.

It’s a real lifesaver when you’re exhausted and need that extra push.

The song that became instantly famous through Regain’s commercials is “Yūki no Shirushi” (Sign of Courage).

In the midst of the bubble era, the catchphrase “Can you fight for 24 hours?” left a strong impression.

The singer is Saburō Tokito as the character Santarō Ushiwakamaru, and his youthful look was reassuring, too.

It’s a guaranteed hit at karaoke with a slightly older crowd.

It’s a song you’ll want to sing while reminiscing about the old days!
