Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu
This is a famous song by Masaharu Fukuyama that’s becoming a wedding standard.
It’s a tear-jerking ballad inspired by a bride’s letter to her parents at the ceremony.
A touching song that conveys family as a bond—something irreplaceable—that truly resonates with the heart.
ifCHAGE and ASKA
A wonderfully charming song by CHAGE and ASKA that, despite being a gently delivered ballad, topped the Oricon charts for two consecutive weeks.
You’ll be enchanted by the melody, grow to love it as you listen closely to the lyrics, and before long you’ll probably want to sing it yourself.
If you try it at karaoke, you’ll notice not only ASKA’s remarkable vocal ability but also CHAGE’s exquisite harmonies—this uniquely pleasing sound is something only Chage and Aska can create.
The lyrics, which simply wish happiness for a loved one, are pure.
A must-hear ballad, even if you’re not a fan.
CITRUSDa-iCE
This is a song by the dance-vocal group Da-iCE, who began their activities in 2011.
Some of you might recognize it as the theme song for the 2020 drama “The Way of the Househusband.” I think the appeal of Da-iCE’s music lies in the impressive high tones delivered by their two vocalists.
In this track, you’ll hear plenty of falsetto phrases starting from the first verse, and the chorus features piercing high notes as well.
Beyond simply hitting high notes, it requires solid vocal technique, including smooth transitions between chest voice and falsetto—but if you can pull it off, it’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd.
Highly recommended as a ballad for those confident in their vocal skills.
evening primroseNovelbright
Novelbright is a rock band that skyrocketed to fame after footage of their street performances spread online.
They have steadily grown in popularity through self-produced content on the internet, especially on social media, but at the core of their success are vocalist Yudai Takenaka’s overwhelming singing ability and their catchy songs.
This track is no exception, featuring Takenaka’s high-toned voice and a beautiful melodic line.
It’s a very challenging song to sing at karaoke, but if you can pull it off, you’re sure to earn instant respect!

SAYONARAORANGE RANGE
This song weaves a heartrending melody of acoustic guitar and strings, expressing lingering feelings for a former lover.
While fusing rock and hip-hop—the hallmark of ORANGE RANGE—it’s crafted with a ballad sensibility, resulting in a gem that runs over six minutes.
Released in October 2006, it was also included on the album “ORANGE RANGE.” Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Teppan Shoujo Akane!!,” it offers a heartwarming message of newfound hope after a breakup and gratitude for the time shared together.
It’s a perfect track for relaxed karaoke sessions with fans or for reflecting on memories with someone special.
SparkleRADWIMPS
“Sparkle” is one of the theme songs from the 2016 smash-hit animated film Your Name.
For many listeners, hearing this track brings back memories of the protagonists’ strong bond and the movie’s beautiful visuals.
While all of RADWIMPS’s love songs are popular, this one is especially well-known as a film theme, so it’s highly recommended.
It’s a very calm, easy-to-sing piece, making it a great choice even for those trying a RADWIMPS song for the first time.
It’s a song that expresses feelings for someone special—men in particular, give it a try!
Beyond the Night SkySMAP
Even after their disbandment, the five-member idol group SMAP continues to captivate fans through each member’s individual success.
Their 27th single, Yozora no Mukō, used as the theme song for the variety show SMAP×SMAP, became the group’s first million-selling hit and has been covered by countless artists.
With its relaxed tempo and low key—and because it’s a song everyone knows—it’s a perfect choice for karaoke.
It’s a surefire karaoke classic that’s also fun to sing by splitting parts with friends.
