room for growthCreepy Nuts
A track by the music unit Creepy Nuts, a duo of Japan’s top rapper and the world’s best DJ, who continue to set new standards in the Japanese hip-hop scene.
Featured on their major 2nd album “Case,” this song was used in the commercial for au’s “povo 2.0.” Unlike the intimidating image hip-hop still has in Japan, its laid-back flow takes the edge off and makes it a great opener to warm up the room at karaoke.
It’s an upbeat tune that’s fun for the whole group to sing along to, with relaxed yet snappy rhymes throughout.
We are!kitadani hiroshi
The anime One Piece enjoys worldwide popularity.
Since it’s been airing for many years, it has featured a variety of theme songs, but the most famous one is probably We Are!, right? This track is sung by anison singer Hiroshi Kitadani, and unlike typical pop singers, he really captures the spirit of the original work in his vocals.
The song’s range spans from mid1 D# to mid2 G#, which falls within the typical range for a male vocalist.
The pitch movement is relatively gentle as well, so while it’s exciting, it’s also very easy to sing.

A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
This is the 11th single by legendary anison singer Yoko Takahashi, long beloved as the opening theme of the TV anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion.” It’s famous not only among fans of the anime but also among listeners who haven’t seen the series, and it’s been a karaoke staple for many years.
Since it’s a song everyone knows, it’s perfect as the first track at karaoke.
Because it’s originally sung by a woman, men may find it more comfortable to lower the key or sing an octave down.
Of course, singing it in the original key can hype up the room even more, so if you’re confident in your high range, give it a try!
NINE LIVESchōtokkyū
This is a dance number by Choutokkyuu released on September 24, 2025.
The song’s theme is the proverb “A cat has nine lives,” and it features lots of cat-related words.
Choutokkyuu often has songs with high vocals, but NINE LIVES isn’t one that keeps pushing into ultra-high notes, so once you lock into the rhythm, it should be pretty singable! Since it’s a twin-vocal track, there may be spots where singing solo is tricky timing-wise, but the song’s vibe is super cool, so definitely use it to hype up the karaoke room! In general, you can get a strong, steady tone if you resonate in both your head and chest; try placing a hand on your chest to feel that chest resonance as you sing.
By the way, TAKASHI, Choutokkyuu’s vocalist, raises his eyebrows quite a lot when he sings.
It also makes it easier to hit the right pitches, so give it a try!
IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
A collaboration between these two artists is incredibly extravagant, isn’t it? Actually, I sang this live with a male student, and from a woman’s perspective the key is on the lower side, so it was a bit tough…
But it was really fun to harmonize on top and trade lines back and forth! There’s also a death growl at the very end, so it’s definitely a song I’d love to hear sung by two men! Basically, it’s a song where the two of you alternate between lead and harmony, but there are various ways to harmonize—Hiro often takes the higher harmony and HYDE the lower.
There are parts sung an octave lower as well, so I think it’s best to switch things up and enjoy the different approaches!
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
A four-piece rock band whose name was chosen because it’s “short and cute, yet has a punk vibe,” Spitz released this as their eighth single.
It’s famous for being the theme song of the TV drama “Hakusen Nagashi,” but did you know it was originally written on request to be the theme for a different drama? The opening, which starts with a catchy guitar riff, seems perfect for easing everyone’s nerves as the first song at karaoke.
The tempo is relaxed and it’s easy to sing, but the melody actually stays in a high range throughout.
If the original key is tough, adjust it to a key that’s comfortable for you.
The RumblingSiM
An awe-inspiring metalcore sound that brilliantly captures the world of Attack on Titan.
Amid the intense roar woven by heavy guitar riffs and powerful vocals, the protagonist’s inner conflict and resolve are vividly portrayed.
The lyrics convey a desire to protect loved ones while avoiding violence, and a determination to move forward even after losing everything.
Featured as the opening theme for the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2 from January 2022, the track also reached No.
1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.
A highly recommended song for those who want to experience SiM’s signature heavy sonic textures and profound message.
