Rap songs you want to sing at karaoke: tracks everyone can sing together to hype up the crowd (51–60)
Above the cloudsKokoro no Suke
This piece is highly popular as a song that celebrates a deep bond with friends.
It’s a track Shinnosuke created around the theme of friendship with his longtime partner and producer, portraying a rival relationship that pushes both to grow.
The song is included on the EP “PURPLE,” released in August 2021, and it held the No.
1 spot on the Billboard JAPAN charts for four consecutive weeks.
It’s perfect for singing with friends at karaoke—why not crank it up and reaffirm that fiery friendship together?
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.
beautiful womanchanmina
This is a song by Chanmina that’s guaranteed to turn heads when you sing it at karaoke.
It carries a powerful message that challenges society’s imposed standards of “beauty.” Released as a single in April 2021, it’s also included on the album Harenchi.
Her raw, unfiltered performance on THE FIRST TAKE became a major talking point as well.
It’s perfect for when you want to strongly affirm yourself or blow away the frustration.
Grab the mic and give it a try!
Paradise BabyRIP SLYME
A classic summer tune that someone plays somewhere every year when the season rolls around.
Many of you have probably heard it on TV, the radio, or by the seaside.
The Latin-style guitar and percussion feel incredibly pleasant.
It’s such a famous song that if you sing it at karaoke, everyone can join in on the chorus.
RIP SLYME, who made a name for themselves in the 2000s, are a skilled group that steadily built their achievements since the 1990s.
Their laid-back, fun style—slightly different from American hip-hop—leaves a charming impression that anyone can enjoy.

Easy Breezychelmico
It’s the opening theme of the anime “Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!”.
As the title suggests, the opening sequence that perfectly matches the song became a huge talking point.
The rapid-fire rap, packed with rests, is extremely high-level.
Perhaps thanks to the anime’s influence, American fans rushed to cover the track, and many faithfully recreated the fast rap on YouTube! When practicing, it might help to break it down into eight-bar sections.
The trick is to avoid pronouncing every syllable exactly as written and to drop vowels wherever possible.
MomotaroSuiyōbi no Campanella
It’s a work packed tightly with a unique worldview—the quintessential essence of Wednesday Campanella.
Included on the 2014 mini-album “Take Me to Onigashima.” As the title suggests, the lyrics are inspired by the folktale Momotaro, reimagined with modern, game-influenced elements.
The melody and flow—ones you’ll want to hear over and over—snap perfectly into the crisp sound.
When you find yourself escaping reality by getting too absorbed in games at home, why not step outside and try singing it at karaoke?
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!
