Island Nation DNANEW!Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
A song by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai that boldly sings about Japan’s unique fish-eating culture—born from being surrounded by the sea—over a heavy sound.
Released as a single in August 2016, it’s a rock tune that irresistibly pairs top-tier loud rock with everyday subject matter.
With an arrangement that incorporates a “3-3-7” cheer rhythm, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going in karaoke with call-and-response.
A perfect track for moments when everyone wants to laugh together.
Anyone who pisses me off is an enemy.NEW!Chōnōryoku Senshi Dorian

It turns feelings of irritation and anger—like being fed up or pissed off—into comically straightforward, even absurdly blunt words.
With its catchy melody and easy-to-chant structure, it’s the perfect song for everyone to shout together and get hyped at karaoke.

Anison (1–10)
LionNEW!May’n / Nakajima Ai
The second opening theme of Macross Frontier, a 2008 duet by May’n and Megumi Nakajima.
It’s an upbeat electropop track produced by Yoko Kanno, featuring the two divas’ high-tone harmonies.
I’ve performed it live with a student before; the range is on the higher side, but it’s more than enough to get the crowd going.
Since the vocals alternate, you can sing it solo, and if you’ve got the bandwidth, singing it as a duo with added harmonies makes it even more fun.
It’s a song that can hype the audience from the intro, so definitely consider adding it to your setlist.
Limit-Break x SurvivorNEW!Hikawa Kiyoshi
This is the 32nd single, released on October 25, 2017.
It’s the opening theme for the anime Dragon Ball Super, and instead of enka, it’s a fiery band-rock anisong.
I was surprised at the time too, but it’s a fast-paced track that goes beyond the bounds of enka, and I remember Hii-sama with bold, striking makeup looking incredibly cool.
It’s very popular among Dragon Ball fans, and the lyrics are cleverly written, so if you put it in at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
By the way, I once saw a band cover it live, and they were truly awesome—watching them got me super hyped! The chorus has a feeling of sprinting straight through, so I think it’s best to sing it without stopping.
New EraAdo
Have you already seen the anime film ONE PIECE FILM RED? Many music fans were probably interested in the fact that Ado performs songs provided by seven different artists.
The movie’s main theme is New Genesis, composed by Yasutaka Nakata.
Both the lyrics and the powerful, fast-paced feel matched the film’s story perfectly.
The melody jumps sharply up and down, so it’s a bit challenging, but it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism
The pop band Official HIGE DANDism.
The song they created by expanding on images from the anime’s story is “Mixed Nuts.” The lyrics portray the characters by likening them to peanuts in a mix of nuts.
The melody, centered on the piano, is crafted to feel exhilarating and fast-paced.
The complex interweaving of many instruments also effectively expresses the anime’s worldview.
Because the tempo is quick, be mindful of your breathing when you sing it.
BlessingYOASOBI
This is a song by YOASOBI that was selected as the opening theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.
YOASOBI is a duo that turns novels into music, and this track was created based on Cradle Planet, an original story written by Ichiro Okouchi, the anime’s scriptwriter.
The sound conveys a refreshing sense that evokes robot action, while maintaining a lightness that keeps it from becoming too dark.
The lyrics, which seem to depict a resolve to carve out the future with one’s own hands, are also striking, carrying an encouraging strength that feels like a push forward.
It seems like the song could show many different expressions depending on how the emotions are conveyed when singing.
