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.
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.
catDISH//
Originally released by DISH// in 2017, the song was a hit at the time, but after being featured on the quickly trending YouTube project video THE FIRST TAKE, it experienced a revival hit in 2020! The acoustic version performed there was also released digitally, making it a major talking point.
The lyrics and composition were done by Aimyon, and it’s easy to see why the beautiful, heartfelt worldview of the lyrics and the song’s familiarity resonate with listeners.
Of course, Takumi Kitamura’s straightforward vocal delivery is wonderful too.
It’s highly recommended for singing at the end of a karaoke session—tenderly, wistfully, and with a dramatic touch.
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS
It’s the theme song of “Your Name.” The movie was such a massive hit that its commercials were everywhere, so there are probably very few people who don’t know this song.
Among RADWIMPS’ tracks, it’s relatively easy to sing, so it’s especially recommended for karaoke.
It’s perfect for anyone thinking, “I want to blow the crowd away again!” The lyrics are written from a male perspective, so it’s naturally easy for men to sing, and it’s also hugely popular with women.
Because it’s such a big hit, it might come off as a bit safe, but if you like it, definitely give it a try!
