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.
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.
BibbidebaHoshimachi Suisei
Suisei Hoshimachi’s “Bibideba” became a hot topic on YouTube in 2024 as an “insanely difficult rap” and a “top-tier challenge” song—have you heard of it? Some of my students actually tried it, and when I taught it, I felt that on a first pass it’s quite hard and the melody is tough to anticipate.
Beyond rhythm and pitch, it includes rapid-fire sections and rap parts—there are lots of elements packed in.
If you can master it, it’s a super fun and satisfying song to sing! In the chorus, many phrase endings switch to head voice, so lift your facial muscles and keep centering your pitch between the eyebrows, imagining the sound traveling from the brow up through the head as you transition to head voice.
Raising your hand toward your head while singing can make the visualization easier and help the voice come out more freely.
For the word-heavy sections, don’t try to articulate every syllable crisply; instead, let the words flow so they ride the melody as you sing.
360°miwa
MIWA is a Japanese singer-songwriter.
This song was released in 2015 as her 17th single.
It was the theme song for the Doraemon movie, and its bright, catchy melody was popular with children.
The upbeat lyrics and her expansive vocals are a perfect match, making it an exciting, uplifting track.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
This is a song distinguished by its acoustic guitar and bright melodic line.
Released in June 1991, it became a massive hit, surpassing one million sales in just six months.
The lyrics convey a message of “no matter what difficulties you face, ultimately believe in yourself and keep moving forward,” which has given courage to many listeners.
Long cherished as one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature songs, it was also chosen as the entrance march for the 64th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in the spring of 1992.
This piece is highly recommended for those feeling lost or anxious in life, and for anyone who wants to live true to themselves.

Ado, who dominates the scene with her mysterious presence that never reveals her true face and a powerful voice you can’t forget once you’ve heard it.
Released in April 2025, this track is included on her first best-of album, “Ado no Best Album,” and it’s a hard-hitting rock number that feels like a distillation of her essence.
The song belts out a strong resolve to push forward, overcoming the impatience of chasing dreams and the sneers of those around you.
It was also featured in a Marubeni commercial, and its message—calling out powerfully to people who feel lonely, “You’re not alone”—aligns with the ad’s theme.
It’s perfect for shouting your heart out at karaoke to blow off stress, or for rousing your soul when you’re yearning for change.
If you sing it with the same power as Ado, you’ll surely feel courage welling up.
