Rick Astley – Together Forever (Official Video) [4K Remaster]

If I had to name an artist from the ’80s who left a strong impression, it would be Rick Astley.

The gap between his looks and his voice was incredible and really shocked me.

His singing voice is excellent, and many of his songs are catchy, pop numbers that are very easy to sing along to, so I especially recommend him.

Cyndi Lauper – True Colors (Official HD Video)

Released in 1986.

A hit song that reached No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

The lyrics are great, so I definitely recommend checking out the Japanese translation.

It has been covered by Phil Collins and The Gospellers.

With its slow tempo, it’s a soothing ballad that’s perfect to choose when the atmosphere starts to feel a bit tired.

Irene Cara – Flashdance What A Feeling (Official Music Video)

Irene Cara’s hit single.

It’s also famous as the theme song for the 1983 film “Flashdance.” In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Stewardess Story.” Just hearing the intro probably gets a lot of people moving already.

Be sure to sing it while you dance!

This karaoke song by the diva Mariah Carey, whose powerful vocal work proves her high musicality and commands overwhelming popularity worldwide, is especially favored by women in their 30s.

Its melody is easy to sing, with a range that even those who struggle with pitch can comfortably try.

Baby, Come BackPlayer68rank/position

Player – Baby Come Back

It’s a song released in 1978 by the American band Player, and it even reached No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

(They didn’t have much success afterward, so they’re kind of a one-hit wonder.) I don’t think it’s too difficult to sing at karaoke.

It sounds even cooler if you can harmonize on the chorus.

Kenny Loggins – Danger Zone (Official Video – Top Gun)

A single that captured the speed and thrill of fighter jets, opening the 1986 film Top Gun.

Crafted by Italian maestro Giorgio Moroder, its fusion of synthesizers and hard-edged guitar is the very symbol of ’80s rock.

Peaking at No.

2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and featured on the film’s soundtrack, which sold over 9 million copies in the U.S.

alone, this track is guaranteed to light up any karaoke session.

The tempo is brisk, but the powerful chorus lines are perfect for belting out, delivering an exhilarating rush.

For those who remember the era, it’s a definitive karaoke staple—easy to sing at full throttle while picturing that iconic jet launch sequence.

To Be With YouMr. BIG70rank/position

Mr. Big – To Be With You 4K Video

A four-piece American hard rock band, Mr.

Big—hugely popular in Japan as well—released this ballad as a single from their 1991 album “Lean into It.” It was their biggest hit, topping the U.S.

Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks and reaching number one in more than 15 countries worldwide.

Characterized by simple acoustic guitar strumming and beautiful vocal harmonies, it has an easy, handclap-friendly groove that makes your body move naturally.

The lyrics express a desire to be there for a love that isn’t going well, making it a song often played at weddings and in nostalgic moments.

Known as a group of virtuosos, they deliberately dialed back their technical showmanship here to put the emotion of the song front and center—another key highlight.

It’s a perfect karaoke pick to sing with friends, sure to bring back the heat of your youth.
