[Karaoke] A roundup of easy-to-sing Ketsumeishi songs (11–20)
heartbreakKetsumeishi
Heartbreak’s sadness wells up and brings you to tears in “Shitsuren” (“Heartbreak”).
It’s a track included on Ketsumeishi’s third album, Ketsuno Police 3.
Set to Ketsumeishi’s signature laid-back hip-hop rhythm, the emotional melody and lyrics really sink into your heart.
Because the melody is mostly understated, it’s pretty easy to sing at karaoke.
The vocal parts flow nicely with the rhythm, so you can sing them comfortably.
If you want to heal the wounds of heartbreak, pick this song and quietly get the vibes going!
My subjectsKetsumeishi
A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.
It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.
Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.
The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.
For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.
Light humming is also recommended.
My friend—now and forever…Ketsumeishi
As the title suggests, the theme is “unchanging friendship and gratitude,” and it’s a warm song that makes you want to share it with someone you love.
There are many comments on YouTube addressed to Ryuhei Ueshima, and just reading them made my heart swell.
This is actually a memorable song for me, too.
When I had just become a vocal coach, I had a student in their 50s who practiced this song all the time.
They said, “It’s easy to get into, it’s fun, and it’s just a great song!” I totally agree—once you nail the rhythm and the flow of the words, you don’t need to worry too much about pitch.
That said, the section right before the second chorus does have some larger intervals, so it’s cooler if you pick out those notes one by one for a tighter finish.
I love this song too—want to practice it together?
balladKetsumeishi
A love ballad from Ketsumeishi that offers a different flavor from their usual cheerful image.
It’s a tear-jerker that gently yet poignantly sings of unfulfilled feelings for someone special, carried by a tender, aching melody.
With rap kept to a minimum and piano and strings that seep into the heart, this piece also surprised longtime fans as a bold departure.
Released in January 2011 as one half of a double A-side single and included on the classic album Ketsunopolis 7, it was also used as the theme song for Nippon TV’s information program Sukkiri!!.
If you sing it softly at karaoke—where upbeat tracks usually steal the show—its contrast will draw everyone in.
Why not showcase a new side of yourself with this hidden gem?
We GoKetsumeishi
A track included on Ketsumeishi’s 13th album, Ketsunopolis 13, released in January 2024.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the drama Jeanne’s Judgment.
The song was released digitally in advance of the album.
Throughout, it has a pleasant groove that imparts a gently heartwarming atmosphere.
The vocal range and the melody themselves don’t demand particularly advanced singing technique or a wide range, so in that sense it’s a song that should be quite easy for anyone to sing.
However, precisely because of that, if the relaxed, expansive groove is lost in the vocal delivery, the song can fall flat.
When you sing it, pay close attention to how you feel the rhythm and the beat.
In conclusion
Every Ketsumeishi song is catchy and perfect for karaoke.
Since their music is rooted in hip-hop, the vocal melodies have a nice rhythm to them, and you get a real sense of accomplishment when you make it through any of their songs.
Enjoy your fun karaoke time!
