A mixed-gender four-piece band with a name that evokes a decadent image, SEKAI NO OWARI released this as their sixth single.
In their amateur days, they were often booked alongside death metal bands because of that name.
The track was chosen as the theme song for the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-class Gourmet Survival!!, and its fanciful world is a pleasant counterpoint to metal sounds.
With a march-like beat and a melody carrying a positive message, it feels perfect as the first song in a karaoke session.
The key is low and the melody is simple, making it a pop tune we’d love to see you kick off your karaoke with.

The song was used as the ending theme for the debate variety show “Koko ga Hen da yo Nihonjin,” and despite being their major-label debut, it became a huge hit thanks to its modern, catchy melody and distinctive worldview.
Because the tempo is fast and the chorus features repeated leaps in the melody, thorough practice is necessary before performing it in front of others.
With an arrangement that kicks off right from the chorus and instantly amps up the energy, it’s a recommended rock tune to start off a karaoke session.

The upbeat rhythm amplifies those feelings of love! This is a signature song by Gen Hoshino, a singer-songwriter who’s also active as an actor, released in October 2016 as his ninth single.
It became a massive hit after being chosen as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu).
Many of you might remember the Koi Dance craze.
The lyrics charmingly express the joy and happiness of being in love.
Rather than trying to sing it perfectly, flashing a smile and having fun might go over better.
If you’ve got the energy, try singing it while dancing, too.
