I’m Not OKchanmina
Chanmina, a female rapper who is extremely popular among young people.
Although she’s a rapper, she also boasts impressive vocal skills as a singer, and her powerful voice has won her many fans.
Among her tracks, one I especially recommend is “I’m Not OK.” It starts off feeling like pop with a trap-based hip-hop flavor, but when the chorus hits, it shifts into a power-pop vibe.
The chorus has plenty of moments where you can shout along, making it perfect for blowing off steam!
I am the strongest.Ado
This song, written for an animated film, portrays strength and inner conflict.
Released for streaming in June 2022, it’s a memorable track highlighted by Ado’s distinctive vocals.
It expresses the film character’s strong determination and hope, centering on themes of self-affirmation and connection with others.
Composed by Motoki Omori of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, its energetic sound and powerful lyrics combine to inspire courage in listeners.
It’s perfect for relieving stress or psyching yourself up—why not sing it out at karaoke to refresh your mood?
SynchrogazerMizuki Nana
A symphonic rock piece themed around awakening and resolve! If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a showstopper worthy of the name “Senki Zesshō,” showcasing overwhelming expressive power! I love Nana Mizuki and sing many of her songs, but “Synchrogazer” is quite challenging—the tempo is about 140, which is pretty fast.
On top of that, the pitch jumps are intense, and when you try singing with a pitch guide, you’ll often find the notes don’t seem to lock in, to the point where you might think, “Am I singing this wrong?” Solid rhythm and diaphragmatic breathing are absolutely essential! It’s such a cool song, so try practicing by changing the playback speed on YouTube and the like!

Perfect-Sense DreamerONE OK ROCK
This energetic song is perfect for blowing off steam at karaoke.
Released as a single by ONE OK ROCK in February 2010, it became a key work that marked a fresh start for the band.
The lyrics, which urge you to follow your instincts rather than logic and seize your dreams, give listeners a strong sense of determination and hope.
It was also used as the ending theme for the TBS variety show “Arabikidan.” The track captures the raw energy of their live performances, making it highly recommended for anyone who wants to belt it out at karaoke and clear away their everyday frustrations.
NINE LIVESchōtokkyū
They’re releasing a TikTok-linked project called “Episode of NINE LIVES,” a series of short dramas starring each of the nine members.
The limited first-press Blu-ray reportedly includes a director’s cut and behind-the-scenes footage.
It’s a groovy dance tune themed around a nine-member group × “cats have nine lives”! If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a guaranteed attention-grabber! You can sing it solo, or split the parts and sing it as a duo—how you approach it makes it even more fun! Within a single track you’ll find ultra-high notes and rap sections; keeping pitch, managing breath control, and handling the relatively fast tempo will test your sense of rhythm.
If you firmly memorize the melody line and focus less on “pushing your voice out” and more on “resonance,” you’ll find it feels great to sing!
That’s not it.atarashii gakkou no rīdāzu
A track packed with explosive energy and a rebellious spirit.
Released by ATARASHII GAKKO! in April 2023, this song carries a message that questions society’s so-called “normal.” The chorus’s repeated phrase—the title, “Janain da yo” (“That’s not it”)—is striking and resonates powerfully with listeners.
Sing it at karaoke and you’re sure to blow off everyday stress and frustration.
It’s a perfect song for those who value their individuality and want to live without being swept along by others’ values.
Sing your heart out and recharge for tomorrow!
ultra soulB’z
This is a song packed with fiery energy and a positive message.
Released by B’z in March 2001, it was chosen as the official theme song for the 2001 FINA World Championships in Fukuoka.
Set to a hard rock sound, it portrays the determination to push one’s limits and chase one’s dreams.
The empowering lyrics are sure to resonate with many listeners.
At live shows, it’s customary for the audience to jump together during the chorus, creating a moment when the whole venue becomes one.
It’s a perfect track to blast away stress when you want to give your all in daily life or fire yourself up.
