dancerVaundy
Vaundy’s “Odoriko” is a stylish, feel-good track that lets you sing along with the vibe of a true dancing girl.
Released in 2021, its music video features Nana Komatsu.
The lyrics paint scenes of a man and woman meeting, falling in love, and living life as they dance together.
While it’s mostly written from a male perspective, there’s a brief switch to a female point of view that’s worth noting.
It’s great to sing solo, and also perfect for a duet!
StormyNissy × SKY-HI
A collaborative track by Nissy and SKY-HI, two leading figures in the pop music scene.
Released in April 2024 as the theme song for the anime film BLUELOCK THE MOVIE -EPISODE NAGI-.
Driven by a powerful beat, the song delivers a fresh musical experience with Nissy’s emotionally charged vocals and SKY-HI’s razor-sharp rap.
The lyrics portray fierce competition for success and power and the strength to face mounting chaos, perfectly aligning with the anime’s world.
It’s a passionate work that will stir listeners’ hearts.
Highly recommended not only for anime fans but also for anyone who wants to enjoy a new sound that fuses pop and hip-hop!
Mr. Monster feat. AimyonHirai Ken
Ken Hirai, a male singer who represents J-POP, and Aimyon, who has now become a youth icon, collaborated on the song “Kaibutsu-san feat.
Aimyon.” While many duets with male and female vocals feature back-and-forth lyrics sung from each perspective, this one is a love song from a woman’s point of view.
Falling in love brings joy, but it also makes negative thoughts sprout rapidly.
This track feels like an outpouring of those backward-looking emotions.
It would be a blast to sing as a duet at karaoke!
Mr. Moonlightimase
This is a track by imase, notable for its dazzling brass sound that evokes jazz.
Written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” it was released in July 2025.
The expressive vocals conjure a slightly bittersweet, romantic night.
The lyrics capture the inner conflicts of the protagonist who works at a hotel for assassins, and the way their heart changes through encounters with others.
Many listeners will likely find themselves drawn into this poignant world, where guilty feelings mingle with the warm emotion of caring for someone.
DRESSING ROOMnatori
Born in 2003, Natori began posting songs on TikTok in his teens, and his 2022 release “Overdose” became a massive viral hit that quickly raised his profile as a much-anticipated singer-songwriter.
Whether it’s a stylish city-pop-inspired track or an intense, rock-tinged number, his unique low register—rich with a distinctive allure—anchors his vocals and melodies, creating a world that’s unmistakably his.
For those who want to sing like Natori, I recommend “DRESSING ROOM,” released in February 2025.
It’s a chic track with a characteristically danceable, groovy production and sultry melodies—perfect for a nighttime drive.
Because the pitch sits low, it’s especially great for people who struggle with high notes and want to give it a try.
The rapid phrasing and the way the lyrics fit the melody, as well as the rhythmic feel, aren’t exactly easy, but if you listen to the original repeatedly and let both the melody and rhythm sink into your body, you’ll be well-prepared for the performance!
LemonYonezu Kenshi
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s eighth major-label single, released in February 2018.
It was written as the theme song for TBS’s Friday drama “Unnatural.” The minor-key, melancholic melody and overall tone are very appealing.
The vocal melody is also easy to sing and remember, and even now, long after its release, its polish makes it easy to understand why the song remains beloved by many Japanese listeners.
While it doesn’t rely heavily on high notes overall, it does showcase higher-register singing at key moments—especially in the chorus—so it’s highly recommended as a karaoke pick for men with higher voices or those confident in their upper range.
Listen closely to the original and pay attention to switching between chest voice and falsetto when you sing.
