Mela!Ryokushokushakai
This is the song that became a hot topic after being featured in the commercial for Dariya’s Palty Coloring Milk.
The band Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s charm really shines through—the catchy, instantly ear-grabbing melody line and Haruko Nagaya’s straight, expressive vocals stand out right from the intro! The song is simply great, so if you can sing it well, it’ll look super cool.
That said, the key is high and the tempo is fast, so it’s on the harder side.
I think it’s a song that’s really worth practicing!
Brain Narcotics Remix feat. CHEHON, MAKA, Ku-Jun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keithRAY
The track “Nounai Mayaku Remix feat.
CHEHON, MAKA, Kujun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keith” is currently blowing up in the hip-hop and reggae scenes.
Born from DJ RAY’s entry into the battle scene, it features verses that transcend the boundaries between hip-hop and reggae.
The hook in this piece has a very narrow vocal range by RAY’s standards, so many people should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.
Heads, be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Dream FireworksNovelbright
You know those songs where, as soon as you hear the chorus, you go, “Oh, that one!”—even if you don’t know the title? Novelbright’s “Yume Hanabi” is one of those.
It was used in a mobile game app commercial featuring Kanna Hashimoto, so lots of people have probably heard it.
With its crystal-clear vocals and soaring high notes in the chorus, you might think it’s a bit challenging—but if you can sing it, you’re sure to stand out! It’s a love song packed tightly with a bittersweet, aching feeling.
mysteryHoshino Gen
For a moody, nighttime karaoke vibe, I recommend “Fushigi.” It was released by Gen Hoshino in 2021 and chosen as the theme song for the drama “Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte.” You’ll hear synths and snare sounds that evoke an ’80s feel.
If you can sing this slow-tempo soul track, it will give off a mature impression.
The lyrics, which capture moments of everyday life, are filled with his gentle warmth.
At karaoke, try singing it without rushing, as if speaking softly and kindly.
A Naked Heartaimyon
When it comes to female singer-songwriters who command overwhelming popularity in the J-pop scene, Aimyon immediately comes to mind! Her songs span a wide range of styles—from breezy, upbeat tracks like “Marigold,” to catchy, high-energy numbers like “Anata Kaibou Jun Aika ~Shine~,” and even eerie, atmospheric pieces like “Midsummer Night’s Smell.” But among them, this one is a rather rare, straight-down-the-middle love ballad! It lays bare an uncontrollable feeling of love, and it would be so cool to sing it with the same smooth, graceful touch as the artist herself.

ultramarineYOASOBI
It’s the commercial song that became a hot topic through its collaboration with the manga Blue Period, which depicts a protagonist aiming for art school.
The refined track, so characteristic of YOASOBI, pairs beautifully with ikura’s straight, crystal-clear vocals.
It’s an upbeat, rhythmic track, yet the vocal phrasing flows smoothly and effortlessly over it—the contrast is incredibly cool! I think many people will be moved by the lyrics, which speak both to the beauty and the anxieties of single-mindedly pursuing what you love.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
The hit song “Bunny Girl” has become so popular nationwide that there’s hardly a day you don’t hear it on TikTok or Instagram.
It’s well known as the signature work of the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.
Among recent hits, this piece has a particularly narrow vocal range.
When the original key is too low, people sometimes sing it an octave higher, and this song can be sung comfortably even at that higher octave.
If you adjust the key, it becomes even easier to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
