Chosen as the theme song for the film Tokyo Revengers, it delivers a message that reminds us of the important things we often overlook because they feel too obvious—words that truly move the heart.

With lyrics like that and a driving, fast-paced arrangement, it’s the perfect first track to kick off a karaoke session with close friends and get everyone hyped.

If you’re ever unsure what to sing, this is the number to remember.

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.

Love SongGReeeeN

This is the third single by GReeeeN, a four-man vocal group popular for their pop sound that blends a wide range of genres including pop, rock, reggae, breakbeats, and hip-hop.

Boasting numerous tie-ins—most notably as the ending theme for the audition show “Uta-Star!!”—it’s known as one of GReeeeN’s signature tracks.

The overall key is high, and from the middle it moves into rap, then a low-register melody, and back to a high-pitched melody again, making it quite challenging to sing solo.

With its brisk beat and catchy melody, it’s perfect as the first song at karaoke, so it’s a number you’ll want to sing together with friends.

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!
