Miracle EarthKuwata Keisuke & Mr.Children
When it comes to male duets for people in their 40s, isn’t “Kiseki no Hoshi” the first that comes to mind? Released in 1995 as a charity single for the Act Against AIDS campaign, this collaboration between two top artists of the time sold over 1.7 million copies and is characterized by the passionate vocals of Kuwata and Sakurai singing in alternation.
The lyrics and composition were by Keisuke Kuwata, and the arrangement was by Takeshi Kobayashi and Mr.
Children.
There’s also harmonizing in the chorus, making it a very satisfying song to sing.
Interestingly, it became a topic of discussion that Sakurai’s singing at the beginning imitates Kuwata’s style.
Since the backing track isn’t surprisingly intense, as long as the two vocalists project their voices solidly, it should turn into a powerful performance!
Summer Colorsyuzu
When talking about Yuzu, this song is absolutely indispensable.
It features a summery, refreshing sound, yet it’s a track you can enjoy all year round.
With its great rhythm, easy-to-catch tempo, and bright melody, it’s full of elements that naturally make you smile, so from the very first track everyone can be grinning together.
Peter PanYuuri
This is Yuuri’s major-label debut single, dedicated to everyone chasing their dreams.
It powerfully sings about the protagonist’s unwavering resolve to follow the path they believe in without being swayed by others, and the importance of holding onto your dreams no matter how old you are.
Featuring a funky track and a commanding vocal performance, the song was released in August 2020 and also drew attention as the theme for a Dip Corporation commercial.
It’s included on the album “Ichi.” If you belt it out passionately at karaoke, there’s no doubt its coolness will captivate everyone around you!
RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
The quintessential Japanese guitar rock: ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s song Rewrite.
It shot to fame in 2004 as the theme song for the TV anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
Its popularity hasn’t waned since, and it’s enjoyed in all kinds of settings.
Of course, it’s also a perfect pick for karaoke.
Belt out the shouted chorus and get the party started!
GOBUMP OF CHICKEN
A song by the four-piece rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN, which has had a tremendous impact on Japan’s rock scene since 2000.
It’s the opening track of their eighth studio album, Butterflies, and was used as the CM song for the mobile game Granblue Fantasy as well as the opening theme for the TV anime GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation, based on the game.
The spacious, delay-driven guitar phrases heighten your anticipation for the album as a whole.
With its driving pace and exhilarating feel, it’s also a perfect choice for the first song at karaoke.
This is a sure hit! Hype-up songs men will want to sing first at karaoke (41–50)
Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy
A song by Vaundy, a currently enrolled art university student singer-songwriter who is attracting attention for his original sensibilities and who studied music at Voice, the music school led by music producer Yoshihiko Nishio.
Released in advance from his first album “strobo,” the track was used as the CM song for Maruha Nichiro’s WILDish series, “For Us.” The opening, which starts with a melody over transparent-sounding guitar arpeggios, instantly lifts the tension.
While certain fine techniques—such as falsetto in the chorus—are required, the overall key isn’t too high, making it an easy pick as the first song to sing at karaoke.
CQCQKamisama, boku wa kizuite shimatta
If you’re quite confident in your singing, how about “CQCQ” by Kami-sama, Boku wa Kizuite Shimatta? It’s in a high register, so it’s challenging, but I think it’s a real crowd-pleaser.
Both the sound and the lyrics are cool, and it’s a song worth singing.
It might suit younger singers especially well.
