Best Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers: Ranks 1–20 (1–10)
Even if we forget springaibii karaa
Highly recommended especially for those who’ve recently had their heart broken.
This is a song by Ivy to Fraudulent Game, a piano rock band from Osaka.
It was released as their first single in 2019.
Centered on a band sound and colored by string tones, it builds into a grand, expansive piece.
The fragile, ephemeral vocals are also distinctive.
The lyrics express a bittersweet longing for someone precious who has gone far away.
Spring is a season of meetings and partings.
If you’re feeling sad right now, why not sing this song, have a good cry, and feel refreshed?
crimsonX JAPAN
This is a song by X JAPAN, a visual kei rock band that sparked a major movement.
It was released in 1989 as their major-label debut single.
The way it builds from a quiet intro into a fast, energetic band sound is really cool, isn’t it? Just listening to the music gets you pumped.
Aim to emulate Toshi’s powerful vocal shouts!
You don’t have to put on a brave face until dawn.Nogizaka 46
Isn’t it natural for anyone to lose confidence when they’re weighed down by anxiety—by failures, setbacks, and regrets? This is a dramatic, ballad-style anthem that I want to recommend to every woman striving to make it in today’s world; it really hits home in moments like those.
Delivered in their straightforward choral style, the vocals highlight the stripped-down, unadorned lyrics, making the message stand out with striking clarity.

How did you like our editorial team’s carefully selected 10 recommended songs? Each one is well-known and perfect for getting everyone involved and pumped up, right? From here, we’ll introduce 10 more classic, can’t-miss tracks. It’s great to hype things up by singing solo, but we also recommend singing as a duo to harmonize, or choosing songs that work as male-female duets!
Shape of LoveMISIA feat.HIDE(GReeeeN)
Rather than a crowd-pleaser, this is a song you’ll want to get excited about with someone you love.
It’s a heartfelt love ballad sung with passion.
If you perform it in front of your boyfriend or the person you like, you’ll both be in tears for sure.
It doesn’t matter if you think, “I’m not a good singer.” If your feelings and heart come through, it becomes a beautiful song.
If there’s someone you like, be brave and try singing it to them.
I want to make you say you love me.IZ*ONE
Instead of just two microphones at karaoke, the top recommendation is to borrow enough mics for everyone and sing together.
Is that too much to ask…? That’s how much this is a song you want everyone to belt out and get hyped to.
Get together with your favorite friends, eat something tasty, share a fun time, and chat excitedly about the boys you like—For all that, “Suki to Iwasetai” is my pick!
So, you are not alone.Little Glee Monster
Karaoke is all about having a lively time with friends, right? I recommend the song “Dakara, Hitori Janai” by Little Glee Monster.
It’s a lot of fun because you can split the parts and sing with your friends! For the chorus, you can sing in unison or add harmonies—either way, use this song to feel that sense of unity with your friends!
sabotageRyokushokushakai
As the theme song of the drama “G-senjou no Anata,” it’s very well-known, and there’s no doubt it will get everyone hyped with its fast beat.
Despite the quick rhythm, the lyrics flow at a slower tempo, making it easy to sing, so I think you’ll really enjoy singing it.
Singing is most fun when you’re enjoying yourself, right? This is a perfect song for those moments.
