Songs that make you popular at karaoke: Japanese hits that are a hit with the opposite sex

Because you are hereUru

[Official] Uru “Because You Are Here” — Theme Song for TBS Sunday Theater ‘Ship of Theseus’

If you watched the drama “Theseus no Fune” (Theseus’s Ship), you’ll know it: Uru’s ‘Anata ga Iru Koto de,’ which was chosen as the theme song.

It was released as a digital single in 2020.

It’s a bittersweet yet pure love ballad that says, “I’m thinking of you, someone precious to me, always and forever.” The fleeting vocals seem to blend with the sound of the strings, creating a beautiful effect.

It’s perfect for karaoke with a guy you like, and if, for example, couples or spouses sing it while looking into each other’s eyes, something good might just happen afterward…!

SHAMROCKUVERworld

UVERworld　『SHAMROCK』

It’s a high-energy, cool rock band song.

It gets even more exciting with the music video.

There’s a scene where the vocalist jumps, so jumping along while singing looks cool.

There’s also a rap-like part in the song, and that part really hypes things up too.

Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze

Shonan no Kaze “Junrenka” Music Video (Special ver.)

It’s a song about the shy and pushy sides of a man in love, and the feeling of not being able to be honest with your own emotions.

Even so, he expresses his feelings straightforwardly—like it’s speaking on behalf of a man’s heart.

The voice is cool too, so it sounds really cool when you sing it at karaoke.

If you sing this song gently in front of someone you like or someone you’re interested in, it will surely change the impression they have of you.

This is a hit song by the popular artist Ayaka.

Although it’s a bittersweet love song, it’s a track that tends to be popular with men at karaoke and is considered a “charming” choice for women.

It’s a calm ballad, so it’s easy for women to sing—please consider giving it a try.

EXILE is a group so full of “date-song” hits that you could almost say they define the genre, and among them, this especially famous track is one everyone knows.

If you sing it beautifully and earnestly like vocalist ATSUSHI, it’s surely a song that can resonate in people’s hearts.

SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu

Masaharu Fukuyama – Sakurazaka (Full ver.)

Masaharu Fukuyama has a distinctive voice and singing style, so this is a song I’d love people who are good at impressions to try.

I think almost anyone could make a decent imitation.

The vocal range isn’t very wide, so it should be easy to sing.
