cherry blossomFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
A lot of people like to warm up with an easy-to-sing song for the first track, right? Definitions vary by person, but a ballad with a steady pitch and no high notes is probably easier to sing.
A perfect fit for that is FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY’S “Sakura.” It’s a passionate song about bonds with friends or a partner.
Although it’s a ballad, it carries an uplifting message, so it won’t bring down the mood—that’s a plus.
It’s also great for harmonizing with multiple people.
Song of BeginningsOhashi Takuya
A warm, feel-good pop tune that’s perfect for your first karaoke song.
Released in February 2008 as the solo debut single of Sukima Switch’s vocalist, Takuya Ohashi, it was chosen as the opening theme for the drama “The Beast Player Erin” and peaked at No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
With upbeat lyrics and a pleasant melody, it’s ideal for energizing the karaoke room.
Highly recommended for anyone starting something new or needing a boost of courage.
Sing it with a gentle voice like Ohashi’s and warm everyone’s hearts!
Roco LotionORANGE RANGE
This song captivates with a liberating, tropical vibe.
It’s a track by ORANGE RANGE, included on their 2004 album “musiQ.” It was also used in a commercial for MATCH, making it widely familiar to many.
The lyrics paint scenes of summer sunshine, blue skies, and seaside settings, expressing excitement for new encounters and cross-cultural connections.
Kick off a karaoke session with this song, and it’s sure to instantly light up the mood.
It’s the perfect pick when you want to savor that summer feeling or sing along and have fun with everyone.
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS
A four-piece rock band, RADWIMPS, captivates fans with pop sensibilities that let you picture scenes from the chord progressions alone and with a uniquely imaginative lyrical world.
This song was written specifically as an insert track for the animated film Your Name, which became a massive hit and social phenomenon, and its title—crafted from a perfectly apt coined word—makes an immediate impact.
The tempo is fast, so it might feel challenging, but the overall key is low, making it a good choice even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
With an exhilarating guitar riff that lifts your spirits from the intro, it’s a rock tune that’s perfect for kicking off a karaoke session.
loveHoshino Gen
The upbeat rhythm amplifies those feelings of love! This is a signature song by Gen Hoshino, a singer-songwriter who’s also active as an actor, released in October 2016 as his ninth single.
It became a massive hit after being chosen as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu).
Many of you might remember the Koi Dance craze.
The lyrics charmingly express the joy and happiness of being in love.
Rather than trying to sing it perfectly, flashing a smile and having fun might go over better.
If you’ve got the energy, try singing it while dancing, too.
Perfect-Sense DreamerONE OK ROCK
If you’re going to karaoke with close friends, I think it’s totally fine to kick things off with a high-energy song.
In that case, I recommend “Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer” by the rock band ONE OK ROCK.
It’s a track characterized by its fast tempo and driving feel.
There are lots of shout-heavy parts, so if you can pull it off, it’s guaranteed to hype up the room.
Also, while the lyrics contain a lot of English, the same phrases repeat often, so it’s relatively easy to remember.
Kokoro-eroodo obu mejyaa
Despite their short-lived activity, the band Road of Major made a splash in the rock scene.
They are known for their refreshing rock sound and have left behind many great songs.
Among them, Kokoroe is especially recommended as a high-energy anime song.
It was used as the opening theme for Major: 1st Season and continues to enjoy strong popularity among readers and viewers to this day.
While the vocal range spans from mid1 D to high C and is relatively wide, it doesn’t require delicate falsetto, so as long as you can belt, it’s by no means a difficult song.
