Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓
This is the 22nd single by the four-piece rock band ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓, formed around Hiroto Kōmoto and Masatoshi Mashima, who were active as members of the legendary rock band THE BLUE HEARTS.
It’s a track with numerous tie-ins, including serving as the theme song for the film “Zebraman,” as well as being featured in commercials and as theme songs.
With its pop, laid-back arrangement and sing-along-friendly intro and instrumental breaks, it’s perfect for closing out a karaoke session.
However, since the song runs over six minutes, be sure to choose it when you have enough time left.
The Never-Ending SongTHE BLUE HEARTS
Even if it’s just karaoke, it’s sad when the fun has to end, isn’t it? A lot of people want to wrap things up on a high note at times like that.
The Blue Hearts, Japan’s iconic punk rock band—finishing with one of their hits is a great move.
If that’s what you’re thinking, you’ve got style.
Shouting out that you’ll sing a song that never ends for the final pick—doesn’t that sound cool? It also doubles as a message that you want to get together with this same crew again, so try it at reunions where multiple generations come together, or when you’re doing karaoke with people you don’t get to see often.
We Were AngelsKageyama Hironobu
A song by singer-songwriter Hironobu Kageyama, who made his major debut as the vocalist of the rock band LAZY and is now known as the “Prince of Anison.” It’s the coupling track to his 25th single, “WE GOTTA POWER,” and was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Dragon Ball Z.
As the ending theme of a legendary anime, there’s hardly a better song to close out a karaoke session for people of the same generation.
With a powerful yet translucent melody and ensemble that wraps up a fun time, it’s a perfect number for the finale.
A Man’s Badge of HonorYokohama Ginbae
A classic packed with masculinity, “Otoko no Kunshō” (A Man’s Medal of Honor).
Though it’s a nostalgic tune released in 1982, it gained widespread recognition among younger listeners after being used as the theme song for the 2018 drama “From Today, It’s My Turn!!”.
The original is by Daisuke Shima, who is also active as a TV personality and actor, but the version by Yokohama Ginbae in this video is also highly popular.
Its energetic melody makes it a perfect way to wrap up a guys’ karaoke session.
Smile BombMawatari Matsuko
This is the second single by singer Matsuko Mawatari, who also drew attention for starting musical activities under the name “Kisaragi -kisa-” in 2022.
The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Yu Yu Hakusho, and its refreshing arrangement featuring a lively cutting guitar feels great, doesn’t it? While it’s an opening tie-in, anyone from the anime’s generation will undoubtedly want to sing it together at the end of a karaoke session.
Although it’s a song by a female artist, the key is relatively low, making it a recommended number for men as well.
TRAIN-TRAINTHE BLUE HEARTS
The sixth single by the legendary rock band THE BLUE HEARTS, who helped make punk a mainstream genre in the J-pop scene.
Used as the theme song for the TV drama “High School Graffiti” (Haisukūru Rakugaki), it’s become a staple cheer song for high school baseball, so even listeners who didn’t grow up with it have likely heard it at least once.
The arrangement opens with a piano-driven sense of speed and a touch of melancholy, making it a perfect choice for the final song at karaoke.
It’s a timeless classic that everyone can sing together to wrap up a fun karaoke session.
Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenKawashima Eigo
This is the debut single by singer-songwriter Eigo Kawashima, who released numerous songs that resonated with men but passed away suddenly at the young age of 48.
Used in a commercial for the sake brand Kizakura, the song’s lyrics are lyrical, evoking the sorrow and vulnerability of men.
There’s an anecdote that it was inspired by watching his relatives eat and drink—a feeling that might connect with that fun yet somehow lonely mood after getting hyped with friends at karaoke.
It’s a timeless classic, loved across generations, and the perfect song to close out a karaoke session—sung gently yet powerfully.
