Knock OutOkazaki Taiiku

When someone asks, “What kind of person is the artist Taiiku Okazaki?” it’s hard to answer, isn’t it? He’s got plenty of earnest, moving songs, but also comedy-style novelty tracks like a stand-up comedian, and even songs packed with magic-trick-like gimmicks—if anyone’s multi-talented, it’s him! Of course, Knock Out is another standout track.

A typical message song fixes the artist’s intent—like “give love another chance” or “be brave”—but this one kind of mumbles, “I don’t know what it is, but I want to say something,” without spelling it out.

Finding that ambiguity fun is so very Taiiku.

If you haven’t heard it yet, you should definitely give it a listen.

The Lethal Weapons have a strong following thanks to their authentic rock sound.

They’re a group you could call both artists and YouTubers—a true multi-talented act.

If you ever find yourself at a karaoke session that feels a bit flat, try belting out “The Battle of Kawanakajima” and take on the role of hype-maker! When you listen closely to the lyrics, the first fun twist is wondering, “Is this English? Japanese?”—that ambiguity is spot on and hilarious.

It’s tough to sing out of the blue, so practice on the sly beforehand.

By the way, the Battle of Kawanakajima was fought between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin.

It dragged on for a long time, but there was no decisive winner.

Consider that a little trivia to keep in your back pocket!

Nippon TV’s popular comedy show, “Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende.” There’s a signature segment where the two members of Downtown chat, and the opening jingle for that talk is always composed by Hitoshi Matsumoto.

“Yokan Fūsai,” sung by Akiko Wada, is one of those songs.

Since it was created based on feeling, it doesn’t carry any deep meaning, but it’s a unique track featuring easy-to-get dirty jokes, so it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.

For anyone who wants to enjoy a bit of humor at karaoke, Kyuso Nekokami’s “Ie” is the perfect pick.

Featured in a Tama Home commercial, this song stands out for its simple yet catchy refrain that plays on the word “ie” (house) and the phrase “yay.” Since its release in 2016, it quickly captivated many viewers and has helped liven up karaoke sessions.

With singers taking turns and everyone chanting “ie” together, even those not used to singing can join in the fun.

Short but impactful, incredibly easy to remember, and ideal for creating a sense of unity—this is a go-to track for karaoke!

I’ll sing momo-momo anywhere and everywhere.Yabai T-shatsu Yasan

A short but laugh-out-loud karaoke hit that everyone can sing along to and get hyped with is Yabai T-Shirts Yasan’s “Momomo de Utau yo Dokomademo.” Released in 2022 and also popular as a commercial jingle, this song playfully uses the word “momomo” and breathes new life into the melody of “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” (Senro wa Tsuzuku yo Dokomademo).

It’s irresistibly catchy—sing it and everyone will smile and instantly get into the groove.

Osaka StrutUrufuruzu

Bursting with Naniwa flavor, this is a fun 1995 track by Ulfuls.

Did you know it’s actually a cover of Eiichi Ohtaki’s “Fussa Strut”? With lots of spoken lines and thick Osaka dialect, not everyone may be able to sing it, but if you nail it, it’s sure to be a hit.

It’s upbeat with a great rhythm—why not take on a song that’s uniquely Ulfuls?

The pachislot game Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel, released in 2006, went beyond the boundaries of pachislot with developments like an anime and a video game.

It might make you feel like you’ve gotten a little something extra.
