Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE / “R.Y.U.S.E.I.” Music Video

This is a popular song by Sandaime J Soul Brothers that enjoys overwhelming popularity among female university students.

I don’t think there’s a college student who doesn’t know it.

Not only women but many men like it too, so it’s a track that will get everyone hyped at karaoke no matter who you go with!

Monster’s Flower Song / Vaundy: MUSIC VIDEO

Singer-songwriter Vaundy, who showed musical sensibility from a young age and also creates his own artwork.

His song “Kaiju no Hanauta,” featured in Maruha Nichiro’s WILDish series commercial “For Us,” was released as an advance single from his first album strobo and became a hit with over 200 million streams.

The powerful chorus—true to the title—is highly recommended as a karaoke pick for college students.

It’s a pop tune with modern flair that we’d love to see you belt out with friends at karaoke.

Masaki Suda 'Niji' (Rainbow)

Masaki Suda, an actor who is also making waves as a singer-songwriter.

His songs always show up in the mainstream, so any college student has probably heard his music.

“Niji” is his new track.

It may sound like a high-pitched song, but in reality it’s just that Suda’s voice is high; the song itself doesn’t have a wide vocal range.

As long as you set the key properly, anyone can sing it easily, so give it a try the next time you go to karaoke.

Fifth Harmony – Miss Movin’ On (Official Video)

This is a breakup song for optimistic women who want to overcome heartbreak and move forward.

Fifth Harmony, who sing it, are energetic and cheerful women, so I hope you’ll sing this track with the same brightness and energy—jamming along with your girlfriends.

Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen (PPAP)Pikotarō50rank/position

PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen Official) Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen / PIKOTARO (Pikotaro)

Pikotaro’s debut song, which became a global hit.

Rather than just singing it, it’s a popular track everyone can enjoy while doing the choreography together! I don’t think there’s a college student or young person who doesn’t know it, and it’s perfect for karaoke with a big group.

You could say it’s a hot topic right now!
