White KissSuzuki Suzuki
Suzuki Suzuki, the brother duo known for lyrics that resonate with teens, made waves with their 2021 release “White Kiss,” a love song that hints at the beginning of romance.
It’s filled with honest words that openly express feelings for someone special.
With a steady key that makes it easy to sing, it’s perfect for karaoke.
The slow tempo and the duo’s refreshing vocals will gently echo your bittersweet emotions.
Try singing it the next time you go to karaoke with someone you’re interested in!
Zankyo SankaAimer
If you like high-energy anime songs, I recommend Zankyo Sanka.
Aimer, whose powerful yet translucent vocals move listeners, released it in 2022.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc and became a hot topic.
Her beautiful, fragile voice captures the song’s splendor.
Also pay attention to the brass band and piano layered onto the rock sound.
Be sure to sing it at karaoke with friends who love rock or anime songs!
LOVE or HATE?Maeshima Mayu
This is a digital single by Mayu Maeshima, released in January 2024.
It has been selected as the opening theme for the TV anime ‘Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord.’ With its very powerful high-tone vocals and slightly idiosyncratic singing style and phrasing, it’s a challenging song with several hurdles to clear in order to sing it well.
Precisely for that reason, it’s a track I’d love confident singers to take on.
In addition to requiring consistently powerful vocals throughout, I think feeling the rhythm and groove of the so-called digi-rock backing track is also a crucial point when performing it.
Be sure to study those aspects thoroughly before you try singing it.
buddy-buddy servezutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
Known by the abbreviation “Zutomayo,” the music unit Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
has won strong support—especially among younger listeners—for their modern arrangements.
The track “Nareae Serve,” included on their third album Jinkōgaku, kicks off with an aggressive, bass-forward opening that immediately amps up the energy.
Many listeners will likely relate to its cynical lyrics, delivered over a sharp, hysteric ensemble with a distinct edge.
It’s a stylish pop tune with a sense of speed that’s sure to hype up any karaoke session.
XTCNakajima Kento
By boldly sampling Shonentai’s “Kamen Butokai,” the track became a major talking point on social media.
As Kento Nakajima continues to evolve as a solo artist, he released this work in January 2026 ahead of his second album “IDOL1ST,” slated for February 2026.
He was directly involved in writing and composing, depicting the light and shadow—and the inescapable fate—of being an idol through the keyword “mask.” The balance between the mysterious sound lurking beneath the glamour and his cool vocals is exquisite.
Savor the truth behind the dazzling stage at your leisure.
What is it? lolFuji Kaze
That’s quite a distinctive title.
It’s a song by Kaze Fujii, a musician from Okayama Prefecture who has gained recognition through his activity on YouTube.
It was released digitally in 2019.
The city-pop-inspired production and his sweet, gentle vocals are stylish and delightful.
The word choices in the lyrics are unique, but the way he sings makes them feel natural—that’s the charm of Kaze Fujii.
The scat-style phrases are cool, too.
Be sure to practice so you can sing like him.
NorseShingāzuhai
Singers High is a four-piece rock band that first drew attention on TikTok and has been turning heads with a modern yet down-to-earth sound.
Their sixth digital-only single, “Norse,” pairs a tight rock ensemble with loose guitar riffs for a stylish contrast.
The thrilling, ever-evolving beat and cynical lyrics also make it a blast to sing at karaoke.
It’s an emotional rock tune whose addictive quality leaves a lasting impact and keeps you coming back for more.
