It’s a track you couldn’t miss in 2020! With its dramatic melody and a touch of nostalgia, it’s the kind of song that people of any generation will find agreeable.
Above all, it exudes a fresh, cool vibe.
The phrasing has great dynamics and flows smoothly, so if you sing it lightly without pushing too hard, it’ll really suit you.
It’s a bit on the long side, but the mood is great, so it’s recommended for any situation.
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!
Latest episodewanuka
This song portrays the unique embarrassment and courage of adolescent love with true-to-life emotions.
It serves as the ending theme for the TV anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun,” and it perfectly marries Wanuka’s distinctive word choice with the sound arrangement crafted together with Hyakkai Outo.
The lyrics delicately express the feelings of being unable to be honest precisely because you care about the other person, and they’re sure to resonate with many listeners.
Released in October 2025, this fresh and vibrant anime song is one you should definitely check out.
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.
lampSakiyama Soshi
Singer-songwriter Soushi Sakiyama gained attention after winning the Grand Prix in the “High School Folk Song GP” segment of AbemaTV’s variety show “Variety Kaitaku Variety Himura ga Yuku.” His 10th major digital single, “Akari,” was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death.
Its message—that precious things can be found within the ordinary—may prompt those who feel unlucky to look around and notice what surrounds them.
It’s a soothing number, marked by a gentle vocal delivery and a richly layered ensemble.
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.
