countrysideNEW!Tamaki Kōji
A masterpiece that can be called one of Koji Tamaki’s signature songs.
Released as a single in July 1996, it became a major hit as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Coach,” in which he starred.
While empathizing with the powerlessness and setbacks everyone faces in everyday life, it powerfully sings of the preciousness of striving to live each day.
Rather than forcing listeners to be upbeat, its message affirms vulnerability, and it continues to touch many hearts even today.
At karaoke, its expansive melody and driving rhythm will lift the mood, while subtly showcasing a mature warmth and deep humanity.
With its approachable tune, if you pour your feelings into it, you’re sure to captivate those around you.
Lil’ InfinityAAA
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that’s easy to clap along to, with a catchy melody that everyone can sing together and get excited about.
It’s filled with gentle, forward-looking words, making it a recommended song that can continue to empower someone even after the excitement fades and they head home.
EverythingMISIA
Although it’s a difficult song to sing, I recommend it as a closing number for those confident in their vocal skills.
This grand ballad, as a sing-it-out type of song, is perfect as the ending for a mature girls’ night or a gathering of friends.
Practice hard and make everyone go, “Oh!”
UnderdogNEW!EVE
An irresistibly fast-paced sound grounded in alternative rock, this is Eve’s single released in November 2025.
It was put out as a work heralding a new chapter after the major fourth album, “UnderBlue.” Characterized by tight beats and an emotional track, its theme—depicting the resolve to face forward while carrying one’s vulnerabilities—strikes a chord with many listeners.
The song combines a sense of speed with a comfortable tempo and has the power to instantly heat up the atmosphere.
The melodic leaps in the chorus are guaranteed to bring the energy to a peak from the very first karaoke song.
Since the key is on the higher side, adjust it to a range that suits you and belt it out to your heart’s content with your closest friends.
So in love I’m gonna perish!NEW!M!LK
M!LK is a dance-vocal group gaining attention for their high-energy pure love songs that comically and poppily express explosive infatuation.
To mark their 10th anniversary, they began releasing this work in October 2025.
It’s packed with classic idol pop elements, punchy, phonetically striking phrases, and rhythmic callouts, giving it an irresistibly catchy vibe that makes you want to sing along.
The shout-along hook in the chorus leaves a powerful impact and is incredibly addictive—perfect for everyone to chant together and get hyped.
Designed with call-and-response in mind, it’s an ideal upper-tune to kick off a karaoke session, warming up the crowd as you have a blast with friends.
Shanghai HoneyNEW!ORANGE RANGE
ORANGE RANGE is a five-member rock band from Okinawa.
Their breakout hit that made their name known across the country is undoubtedly their second major-label single, Shanghai Honey, released in July 2003.
It was also used as an insert song for the TBS drama Orange Days, becoming a track loved by a wide range of generations.
Its catchy melody, packed with midsummer cheer and the thrill of romance, along with the lively triple-vocal mic relay, instantly energizes any karaoke session.
Of course it’s great for karaoke with close friends, but why not try it as the first song to break the ice even with people you’ve just met? Pass the mic around with your crew, and this surefire tune is guaranteed to take the hype even higher.
