[Hype Songs!] Surefire, Popular Karaoke Tracks That Are Easy to Sing (1–10)
Adventure Beyondchōtokkyū
It’s a full-throttle, uptempo track packed with that signature Chotokkyu entertainment flair, and it gets the crowd hyped at live shows with lots of call-and-response parts everyone can shout together! The overall vocal range is two octaves, from C#3 to C#5, but thanks to the headbanging sections and the unique lyrics sprinkled with otaku terms and internet slang, you can hit those high notes pretty easily if you sing brightly and keep the energy up.
Don’t worry about pitch—just have fun singing, that’s the most important thing! By the way, I love Ryoga’s funny faces during the song and always burst out laughing, haha.
Definitely check out the video!
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
One of The Blue Hearts’ signature songs, and the kind you can just scream and have fun with—whether live or at karaoke! For the quiet intro, sing carefully and with feeling, then for the chorus don’t worry about pitch—just belt it out and it’ll always get everyone hyped! Momentum is important, of course, but if you just shout recklessly you’ll hurt your throat, so focus on engaging your vocal cords and resonating in your chest.
Even just placing a hand on your chest while you sing helps you feel the resonance and hear your own voice better! You might get caught up in the intensity, but don’t forget to breathe—and enjoy singing!
Mela!Ryokushokushakai
A song I definitely want women to sing when they want to pump things up is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s “Mela!”.
The range is on the higher side (G#3–F5), so it’s recommended for those who are good with high notes.
Many people practice this song in vocal training, and with practice you can definitely master it! You’ll probably want the high notes in the chorus to come out more powerfully than in falsetto.
Start by practicing with falsetto, then gradually strengthen that sound.
Raise your facial muscles and eyebrows, and focus on resonating in the same spot at all times; keep the same awareness when switching between chest voice and falsetto.
Stay relaxed, place the accent as far forward as possible, and project your voice clearly!
[Hype Songs!] Go-to Karaoke Favorites That Are Easy to Sing and Super Popular (11–20)
I am the strongest.Ado
This is a character song by Uta featured in the movie ONE PIECE FILM RED.
ONE PIECE FILM RED took the world by storm at the time.
Uta has a total of seven character songs, and they became so popular that almost all of my students chose them for vocal training! In particular, New Genesis and I’m Invincible are fan favorites, and they’re sure to get the crowd hyped if you can sing them at karaoke.
Since Ado is the vocalist, I’m Invincible is a song that keeps going into high notes, but as long as you don’t force it, you can absolutely pull it off! Relax, support your voice properly, and above all, lock into the rhythm.
U.S.A.DA PUMP
A comeback hit by DA PUMP that popularized the term “so uncool it’s cool.” It’s easy for anyone to get into, and the choreography isn’t difficult, so it’s easy to copy! That said, since vocalist ISSA has a relatively high range, the song’s overall range is narrow at B3–B4, but the chorus stays high.
If you’re good at sustained high notes in chest voice, you’ll be able to sing the whole thing comfortably.
If high notes are tough for you, try moving your body while you sing—matching your movement to your timing should help you lock in those high notes more and more.
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
A pop dance number by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
It became a hot topic thanks to its flashy music video where the members themselves show off their dance moves! The overall vocal range is A3 to F#5, and aside from the very last high note in the chorus, it’s a range most male singers can handle.
If you consciously keep your energy high, your facial muscles and eyebrows will naturally lift, making it easier to project your voice! The rhythm is distinctive—if you feel it with a bouncy swing or count it in double-time, you’ll likely find it easier to groove and sing along.
For the high notes at the end of the melody, don’t be afraid—charge in with momentum! Aim to let it all out and project your voice confidently!
absolute zeronatori
As a singer-songwriter born in the 2000s, Natori continues to charge at the forefront of the scene.
While he challenges a wide range of styles regardless of genre, his April 2024 release Zettai Reido was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime WIND BREAKER, with Jin contributing guitar and arrangement to showcase a strongly rock-oriented, aggressive side.
At the same time, it still incorporates Natori’s signature sultry, sophisticated melodic lines—proof of his impeccable taste.
Once you get used to the rapid-fire delivery, it’s not all that difficult, and it’s definitely the kind of song that can hype up a karaoke session, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
