Included on Cocco’s 12th single “Onesoku Punch,” released in 2006.
The single reached No.
5 on the weekly Oricon chart, making it a smash hit.
This track is full of drive and gives a wonderfully exhilarating feeling, as if you’re streaking across the night sky like a shooting star.
It’s especially recommended for summer nights, when singing it heightens the sense of immersion even more.

It’s JUDY AND MARY’s seventh single, released on June 19, 1995, and it was used as a theme song and in commercials.
In karaoke, you’ll want to sing it with all your might, soaring ever higher like vocalist YUKI.
Incidentally, they originally wanted to title it “Buggy Buggy.”
Paradise BabyRIP SLYME
Since the full-on summer season is here, you naturally feel like singing a famous, summery song, right? For you, I recommend RIP SLYME’s “Rakuen Baby.” Released in 2002, it quickly became a huge hit and secured its place as a quintessential summer tune.
It’s still a karaoke staple today, so definitely give it a try.

This is Yuzu’s major debut single, released on June 3, 1998.

The chorus is guaranteed to get everyone fired up at karaoke.
left-right confusionYorushika
A fragile yet beautiful ballad that portrays the bond with a loved one.
Created as the theme song for the film Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight, released in July 2022, it features narrative lyrics inspired by Oscar Wilde’s classic The Happy Prince.
The protagonist’s emotions, as they desperately try to retrieve lost memories, are delicately rendered, evoking a poignant sense of transience and impermanence in the face of forgetting words.
Its gentle, crystalline melody is perfect for reflecting on memories with someone dear.
A song I’d recommend to anyone who cherishes the intangible bond we call memory.
