Song of BeginningsGReeeeN
It’s the perfect song to hype up a karaoke session! Packed with GReeeeN’s upbeat, positive message, it was released as a digital single in September 2016.
It was also featured as the theme song for Able’s spring 2016 TV commercial.
True to GReeeeN—whose members all have the unique background of being dentists—the warm vocals and melody really stand out.
With lyrics about new beginnings and hope, it’s ideal as the first song at karaoke.
It’s a crowd-pleaser, so you can sing it with confidence at work gatherings or karaoke with people you’re meeting for the first time.
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS
This is the ninth single by THE BLUE HEARTS, a four-piece punk band that enjoyed explosive popularity among junior and senior high school students from the 1980s to the 1990s and is still talked about today as a legendary presence.
The track was used as the theme song for the TV drama “High School Graffiti 2” and is also a beloved staple as a cheering song in high school baseball.
With a relatively flat melody line and a low key, it’s a safe choice as the first song in karaoke.
Despite its simplicity, the driving arrangement will energize any karaoke session—a rock tune that especially makes those of the generation want to sing along at the top of their lungs.
HOT LIMITT.M.Revolution
The eighth single from T.M.Revolution, the solo project of Takanori Nishikawa, who is known for his overwhelming vocal power—often called a “volume monster”—and his funny personality, and who thrives across a wide range of fields.
The music video’s outfits left a strong impression, and the track is also known as a summer staple in J-pop.
With its piercing high notes backed by immense vocal power and a complex melody, it’s quite challenging, so you’ll need to practice before performing it in front of others.
It’s an upbeat tune that evokes the arrival of summer, making it the perfect number to learn and use to hype up the opening of a karaoke session.
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!
BeginningBLUE ENCOUNT
It’s a rousing youth anthem whose powerful performance and straightforward lyrics strike a chord.
It features driving drums and a memorable guitar riff.
A song by BLUE ENCOUNT, it was released in January 2016 as their third single and was also selected as the support song for the 94th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.
It’s perfect for those about to take a new step or determined to take on a challenge.
Highly recommended as the first song in karaoke—sing your heart out and get the crowd going!
