The Blue Hearts Karaoke Popular Song Rankings [2026] (1–10)
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS1rank/position

One of The Blue Hearts’ signature songs, and the kind you can just scream and have fun with—whether live or at karaoke! For the quiet intro, sing carefully and with feeling, then for the chorus don’t worry about pitch—just belt it out and it’ll always get everyone hyped! Momentum is important, of course, but if you just shout recklessly you’ll hurt your throat, so focus on engaging your vocal cords and resonating in your chest.
Even just placing a hand on your chest while you sing helps you feel the resonance and hear your own voice better! You might get caught up in the intensity, but don’t forget to breathe—and enjoy singing!
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS2rank/position

Released on July 25, 1990, this signature song—written and composed by vocalist Hiroto Kōmoto—became the band’s first to reach No.
1 on the Oricon chart.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “High School Graffiti 2” and in commercials, and its driving punk rock sound and upbeat lyrics have continued to be loved across generations.
A distinctive feature is that the chorus appears only once in the latter half of the song, which I think really hits listeners hard.
I want to sing solidly building up to that chorus.
By the way, I always thought the beginning was the chorus, so I was surprised when I realized it wasn’t…! The opening is also very important, and it seems best to sing it clearly and crisply.
Be kind to othersTHE BLUE HEARTS3rank/position

This song has no intro and starts singing right from the beginning.
The first note is E4, a mid-range pitch, so if you take a good breath and prepare before the song starts, you’ll likely produce a steady voice.
It begins without the backing band, so practice repeatedly to align the timing of the lyrics with the point where the band comes in.
Once you get past that, strong drums kick in, and if you listen closely to the backing track while you sing, you’ll be able to ride the groove.
The average pitch used in this song is C4, so overall it’s not high.
If you clearly separate each phrase and take a breath each time, it should make it easier to keep the rhythm.
The call-and-response parts in the song are energizing, so sing them with gusto! To avoid straining your throat, try projecting your voice as if you’re aiming into the distance.
You’ll likely find your voice comes out comfortably!
TRAIN-TRAINTHE BLUE HEARTS4rank/position

A powerful portrayal of relentlessly sprinting toward one’s goals, this signature work by THE BLUE HEARTS is set in the real world—not a utopia or a hell—and boldly declares that life itself has meaning even if we can’t be perfect.
Released in November 1988, this track, which lends its name to the album TRAIN-TRAIN, uses piano for the first time in the band’s history to create a sense of exhilarating momentum and reached No.
5 on the Oricon singles chart.
In 1989, it was also chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “High School Rakugaki.” For those standing at a crossroads in life, this is a song that will be a powerful ally.
When you’re torn about a decision, let it be a source of courage that gives you a push forward.
The Never-Ending SongTHE BLUE HEARTS5rank/position

One of the signature tracks from THE BLUE HEARTS’ debut album, THE BLUE HEARTS, which left a major mark on Japan’s punk rock scene.
It’s an anthem that delivers a powerful declaration to keep singing for oneself and for kindred spirits, set to a straightforward and catchy melody.
In 2002 it was used as an insert song in the Fuji TV drama ‘Hito ni Yasashiku’ (Be Nice to People), and in 2011 it was featured in a JRA commercial.
The repeated phrase in the chorus is structured to make you hum along naturally, creating a sense of unity that transcends generations.
It’s the perfect song for linking arms and getting fired up together at year-end or New Year parties.

The song “Yume,” the 13th single, was released as an advance single from the 6th album STICK OUT.
In addition to being used in a commercial for Suntory Beer “Lites,” it was later chosen as the theme song for the 2002 TV drama Be Nice to People, ten years after its release.
Although the melody has considerable ups and downs, many recurring patterns make it easy to remember, and its simplicity makes it easy to sing.

1000 ViolinsTHE BLUE HEARTS7rank/position

Recut from the 6th album “STICK OUT,” the 15th single “1000 no Violin” had its orchestral version featured in 2006—13 years after its original release—as the CM song for Asahi Soft Drinks’ “WONDA 100-nen Black.” The lyrics, which evoke the pure feelings of one’s boyhood, stir the heart alongside a driving ensemble.
Because many of the melodies repeat the same pitch, it’s hard to go off-key, and the vocal range isn’t very wide, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
The key is also low, so it’s a recommended rock tune even for those who aren’t very confident in their singing.
