It’s a perfect karaoke song for Christmas that looks like it’ll be a lot of fun.

“Melody Until Today,” also famous as Yuko Oshima’s graduation song.

Its gentle, soothing melody is easy on the ears, and the moving lyrics make it a karaoke number that draws you in.

It’s perfect for moments when you want to convey your feelings to someone or express gratitude.

The song doesn’t have a wide vocal range and has a relaxed tempo, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

It’s also recommended for farewell gatherings and other send-off occasions—choose it and sing it with feeling.

[MV full] He’s My Ex / AKB48 59th Single [Official]

This is a dance track packed with lingering feelings and frustrations toward an ex.

Performed by the popular idol group AKB48, it was released in 2022 as their 59th single.

One of its charms is the bass-heavy sound arrangement that makes you feel like you’re in a club—you’ll want to turn up the volume.

Even in the chorus, the melody stays within nearly the same range as before, making it especially easy for women to sing.

Match the vibe of the track and keep it cool!

Nagorizakura

AKB48 is an idol group launched in 2005 under the overall production of Yasushi Akimoto, and after passing the major milestone of its 20th anniversary, it has begun carving out a new chapter in its 21st year.

Their 67th single, “Nagori Zakura,” released in February 2026, has drawn attention as a track that features Momoka Ito from the recently joined 19th generation in her first-ever center position.

The lyrics weave past and present together as they depict nostalgic scenes of school routes and classrooms—something many people facing the season of graduation and new departures are sure to relate to.

It’s a perfect springtime sakura song that blends wistfulness with forward-looking resolve, bolstered by footage brimming with the energy of their Budokan performance and a diverse selection of coupling tracks that are also highlights to enjoy.

Your crush suddenly looks so much more mature after summer vacation ends…

What a bittersweet story.

It’s included on TYPE-B of AKB48’s 41st single, “Halloween Night.” It’s a love song I’d recommend to junior high and high school girls who are in love right now.

You don’t need any complicated commentary to sing an AKB song! As you’d expect, the song follows the classic path of modern idol pop, with an easy-to-remember, easy-to-sing, and catchy melody and lyrics, so there shouldn’t be any tricky parts that make it hard to sing at karaoke.
