Mr. Moonlightimase
This is the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” released on July 11, 2025.
It has a bit of a brisk tempo, so be sure to remember to take breaths between phrases.
Taking breaths will also help you lock into the rhythm of the song! In the chorus, there are lots of switches between chest voice and falsetto, so aim to sing without straining.
When you lift your facial muscles, your eyebrows will probably lift on their own—how about you? That expression is actually important: with a blank face, you’ll never hit the right pitch, and it becomes harder to produce high notes or falsetto.
Raising your facial muscles also makes switching between chest and falsetto much easier, so try singing with the image of lifting your facial muscles and resonating from the top of your head!
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.
protagonistSUPER BEAVER
This is the song chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t really have the image of being “high” in pitch, and the vocal range of this song, “Shujinkou,” is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so I think many men can sing it mostly in chest voice! Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide cue before the vocals come in.
Also, because it’s a band song, if you stay aware of the drums and move your body to the beat as you sing, it’s easier to keep rhythm, it locks in with the melody, and your voice will come out more easily! The opening is already the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, make sure to project the very first consonant without hesitation! For the long notes, keep your eye on the pitch bar all the way to the end!
POP STARHirai Ken
This is singer-songwriter Ken Hirai’s 23rd single, which captivates fans and a wide range of listeners with his melancholy, emotional vocals and inventive pop tunes.
Written as the theme song for the TV drama “Kiken na Aneki,” it was produced in response to a request for a “historic love song.” Even within its sprightly melody, Hirai’s signature edge voice shines through—a nuance you’ll definitely want to recreate in karaoke.
With no tricky leaps or sudden pitch jumps and a breezy arrangement, it’s an uplifting track that’s perfect for kicking off a karaoke session and getting the crowd going.
Gather round! Party people!Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
A rock band from Osaka, Yabai T-Shirts Yasan.
Their song “Atsumare! Party People” is, just like the title says, perfect when you want to enjoy karaoke with a party vibe.
True to punk rock, this uptempo track drives forward with energetic guitar strumming, and singing it will instantly boost your excitement! There are call-and-response parts from start to finish, so it’s great for getting everyone hyped—even people hearing it for the first time.
Since it’s not a particularly melodious song, you don’t need to worry if you’re not confident in your vocals.
Don’t overthink it—just sing and go all out!
swallowtail butterflyPorunogurafiti
This song is striking for its exhilarating sound woven from Latin rhythms and the timbres of folk instruments.
The lyrics, which overlay the fragility of a swallowtail butterfly with the pangs of unrequited love and the theme of unconditional affection, are memorable too.
Released in June 2001, it was written as the commercial song for FT Shiseido’s Tissela Toconuts Coconut and won Song of the Year at the 16th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart for the third consecutive time and sold approximately 920,000 copies.
Enjoy the powerful vocals and Latin groove as you sing it with feeling!
CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
This is a renowned song that has continued to resonate with many as an anthem celebrating life’s new beginnings.
Originally released in September 1980 on the album “Kampai,” it vividly depicts a celebratory scene lit by candlelight and carries a warm message of encouragement for a friend taking their first step forward.
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s powerful vocals deliver hope and courage for the future.
In 1988, it was re-recorded and released as a single, becoming a major hit that reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
In the early 1990s, it was also featured in commercials for Kirin Lager Beer, further boosting its recognition.
To this day, it remains a timeless song passed down through the years, often chosen to convey heartfelt feelings to loved ones at important milestones in life, such as weddings and graduation ceremonies.
