Released digitally in June 2018, the track was included on the album “Aestheticism & Violence.” It’s a perfect song for those who value being themselves and want to walk through daily life with pride.
In karaoke, conveying the down-to-earth lyrics authentically will surely resonate with listeners.

Eric.B.
Jr.” It’s a song about their musical styles, delivering a rugged, masculine vibe.

Give it a try!
cherry blossomKetsumeishi
This iconic song that symbolizes the spring season is also extremely popular at karaoke.
It’s a bittersweet yet heartwarming track that sings of past love, revived alongside scenes of cherry blossoms.
The contrast between the rap-driven storytelling and the catchy chorus that anyone can sing along to is truly moving.
Released as a single in February 2005, it became the group’s biggest hit despite having no tie-in.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and the emotional atmosphere is sure to deepen.
When the chorus comes, join in together for a rousing sing-along and enjoy the sense of unity!
FateAnarchy
By now, there probably isn’t a hip-hop fan in Kansai—or even in all of Japan—who doesn’t know this track.
It’s ANARCHY’s signature song, depicting his harrowingly tragic upbringing with nothing held back.
With its simple rhymes, memorable lyrics, and striking hook, you might think it’d be easy to pull off at karaoke, but his unique vocal projection and delivery—he himself says, “No one can imitate my rap”—pose a significant challenge.
Rather than approaching it like hip-hop, it’s recommended to tackle it with the attitude of singing rock.
