Relieve Stress with Karaoke! A Special Collection of Songs That Make You Feel Refreshed (21–30)
Tomorrow never knowsMr.Children
This is a song that looks forward while carrying anxiety about the future and pain from the past.
Released as a single by Mr.Children in November 1994, it also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Wakamono no Subete.” While based on a melodic pop-rock sound, the track features powerful guitars and emotionally resonant lyrics.
Kazutoshi Sakurai’s vocals gently envelop feelings of life’s uncertainty and loneliness.
It’s the perfect song for belting out at karaoke to blow away everyday frustrations or for moments when you want to face yourself.
IRIS OUTYonezu Kenshi
It’s the theme song for the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc movie—rather than something you “shout out loud,” it’s a fierce song that feels like you’re “screaming with your heart.” Its themes are fragility, destruction, love, and parting.
It alternates between Kenshi Yonezu’s signature whispery delivery and explosive emotional singing.
That might make it seem difficult, but the range isn’t very wide, so most male singers should be able to sing it in the original key.
There are also rap-like sections and parts closer to whispering than singing, so if you’re not used to those, you may need some practice.
If you pay attention to accents, it’s easier to lock into the rhythm, so give it a try.
For those flip-into-falsetto moments, it’s easier to produce the sound if you imagine pulling the voice up and back toward the rear of your head.
A Naked Heartaimyon
This song honestly expresses the emotions deep in the heart.
Released in June 2020, it was written and composed by Aimyon, who infused it with her own experiences and feelings.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san,” resonating with many listeners.
Featuring an arrangement centered on piano and melodica, its sound is modern yet nostalgic.
It’s a track that those struggling with love can relate to.
Why not belt it out at karaoke and blow off some of that everyday frustration?
VirusIwatatakanori
An addictive up-tempo track that vividly paints the sickness of love in colorful hues! Featured on Takanori Iwata’s “ARTLESS,” this song sings about feelings of love spreading like a virus.
The lyrics, depicting an intense attachment to a loved one and the emotional surge it brings, leave a strong impression.
It stands out as one of the highlights of the album released on March 5, 2024.
Its colorful, artful music video is also creating buzz.
Perfect not only for those troubled by love, but also for blowing off steam.
Why not belt it out to Iwata’s richly expressive vocals?
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!
Bring it onKishidan
Kishidan is a six-member rock band that calls their style “Yank Rock,” a fusion of punk rock and Yankee delinquent culture, and their highly freewheeling songs captivate fans.
Their 17th single, Kenka Joto, used as the theme song for the TV drama Wicked Gambo, is catchy with its expansive brass-driven sound and poppy melody.
The lyrics, which portray female strength, let you unleash a range of emotions—so much so that singing it at karaoke can make you forget your anger—making it perfect for stress relief.
It’s a breezy, upbeat rock tune that feels refreshing even as it strings together impactful phrases.
Shut up.Ado
It’s a perfect song for belting out.
The strongly messaged lyrics are so striking that you’ll want to shout along.
Released in October 2020, this track made big waves as Ado’s major-label debut.
The lyrics convey the difficulty of asserting oneself and frustration with social pressure, resonating especially with young listeners.
It’s recommended for anyone who wants to sing their heart out at karaoke and blow off some steam.
The powerful lyrics, combined with Ado’s distinctive voice, make it a song that truly hits home.
