LOSERYonezu Kenshi
It’s a track where the rap and rhythm lock in perfectly, delivering a real sense of groove.
While the theme of the song—“loser”—might sound negative, the beat that makes you want to move and the uplifting melody completely wash that away.
Above all, if you can pull this song off well, it’s seriously cool, so I recommend it to anyone who’s up for a challenge!
LemonYonezu Kenshi
When it comes to Kenshi Yonezu—now one of Japan’s most beloved national artists—his signature song has to be “Lemon.” He even performed it at the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and the music video on YouTube has surpassed 400 million views.
It’s popular across generations, so it’s a surefire crowd-pleaser.

Happy life175R
This is the major-label debut single released on January 16, 2003.
It debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon chart, and along with the second single “Sora ni Utaeba,” it achieved a remarkable feat as a representative anthem of youth punk.
It features a bright, catchy melody and positive lyrics, produced by Masahide Sakuma.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to C5, and the key point is how powerfully you can hit the high notes right at the start.
Also, since the tempo is on the faster side, if you can harness that tempo to build momentum, the high parts in the chorus shouldn’t feel too tough.
In any case, get your whole body into it and have fun!
Bacchi DancerDOES
This is a song that was used as the theme for the anime film Gintama.
It’s not only upbeat, but its fast-paced progression keeps it from dragging.
And since it has a slightly Japanese (wafuu) flavor, you might even find yourself feeling a bit chic and spirited while singing it.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
When it comes to the first song at karaoke, you can’t help but feel nervous wondering, “Will I be able to sing it well?” In times like that, pick something easy and low-pressure.
MONGOL800’s signature song “Chiisana Koi no Uta” is excellent in every respect—ease of singing, catchy vibe, and popularity.
It’s a song you can belt out loudly and comfortably right from the first track.
Put an end to the “what should I sing first?” dilemma with this one!
rainbowAqua Timez
If you want to kick things off with a bright, cheerful vibe, I recommend singing “Niji.” It’s a signature song by Aqua Timez, released in 2008, with warm lyrics that have encouraged many people.
It’s also famous as the theme song for the drama Gokusen: Season 3.
With its sparkling sound, it’s a song that lifts you up whether you’re singing it or listening to it.
It feels like the perfect opener that gets you excited! The music video is a great reference, and the hand claps make it easy for everyone to enjoy together.
If a friend sang it for me when I was feeling down or low on energy, I’d be really happy—and it would definitely lift my spirits!
GO!!!FLOW
GO, the signature song by the rap-rock band FLOW that made a huge breakthrough upon its 2004 release, especially among younger listeners.
With its high energy, hard-hitting beat, and cool rap, it’s a reliable track that can get anyone hyped—even if you’re not from that generation.
At karaoke with people your age, it hits that nostalgic sweet spot and is truly an unbeatable choice.
Don’t hold back just because it’s the first song—this one’s perfect for those who want to fire up the crowd from the very start! Get everyone singing along at the top of their lungs!
