Here we go! First song at karaoke.hobo nichi P
This is a song made specifically to be the perfect first track at karaoke.
The lyrics are packed with unspoken karaoke etiquette and helpful tips.
You can even put this song first and let it speak on your behalf.
There’s an instrumental break for an MC section, so you can hype up the room however you like.
The first song often makes people overly considerate of others, but by choosing this as your opener, you give everyone else time to pick their next song and get ready to sing.
It’s an easy-to-listen-to track with a nicely balanced rhythm.

This is Memeshikute, which held the No.
1 spot on the karaoke rankings for 49 consecutive weeks.
It’s performed by Golden Bomber, known by the nickname “Kinbaku.” I bet many people got to know Golden Bomber through this song.
Their boundary-free performances are always entertaining.
I think many of you also know the choreography for the chorus.
It’s a song that everyone in the room can enjoy—not just by singing or listening, but by dancing along together.
The lyrics carry a sad vibe, yet somehow it doesn’t feel negative at all.
If anything, it puts smiles on people’s faces and is a perfect choice for the first song at karaoke.
Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
This is the eighth single by back number, a three-piece rock band known for lyrics that resonate as people relate them to their own experiences, paired with emotional melodies and arrangements.
With its catchy title and refreshing rock sound, it’s a track that feels great—lifting your spirits while leaving a tinge of bittersweet emotion.
The key is low and there aren’t any difficult interval leaps, but falsetto appears in the latter half of the chorus, so you’ll want to be careful not to miss the notes.
The intro progresses from strings into a rock arrangement, making it perfect for a karaoke opener—an upbeat rock tune you’ll want to sing first to get the crowd going.
LOVE YOU ONLYTOKIO
If you want to kick off karaoke with a refreshing band tune, consider adding “LOVE YOU ONLY” to your list.
Released in 1994 as TOKIO’s debut single, it’s a catchy song that’s easy for anyone to get into.
The lyrics are sweet and a little bittersweet, making it a good choice as a confession song to sing to someone you like.
Even more than that, what I recommend are the parts where it’s easy to add call-and-response and shout-outs! Engaging the audience through the mic and having fun together will make it even more exciting!
Dance, please.DISH//
DISH//’s masterpiece Odoryanse, released digitally in September 2025.
It’s a highly unique track, with a distinct, shallow-sounding auto-tune applied throughout.
Overall it follows a J-rock flow, but the pre-chorus shifts into a slightly reggae-like feel, and the chorus unfolds with a murky, almost visual kei-style melody.
Because the song packs so many developments into a single track, it’s a bit less singable, but you can expect it to be a real crowd-pleaser in terms of energy.
