[MV full] Heavy Rotation / AKB48 [Official]

When it comes to classic, crowd-pleasing karaoke songs, you just can’t leave out AKB48’s “Heavy Rotation”! Even if you’re not confident in singing, its easy rhythm sticks in your ear right away, and the lyrics aren’t fast, making it very singable.

Even when one person starts singing, for some reason everyone jumps in with call-and-response and ends up singing along—this song is guaranteed to get the energy up! Of course it’s fun to sing, but the chorus dance is also famous, so you’ll find yourself making gestures without even meaning to—that’s another part of what makes this song so enjoyable.

Kenshi Yonezu – Paprika

Speaking of “Paprika,” the version by Foorin is a song hugely popular among children.

It’s perfect for karaoke, and in 2019, Kenshi Yonezu—who wrote and composed the song—released a self-cover version as well.

This version is easier for adults to sing at karaoke, so it’s a track I highly recommend.

The chorus’s expansive rhythm is sure to feel great to sing.

Saucy Dog "Someday" MUSIC VIDEO

Ever since the music video was released in 2016, Saucy Dog’s “Itsuka” has enjoyed enduring popularity among fans.

It’s a song about an eternal farewell—an aching breakup tune set to a gently paced band sound.

While hitting the powerful, cry-like high notes à la Shinya Ishihara might be challenging, the melody doesn’t leap into high notes too abruptly, so try taking your time and making good use of your falsetto.

If you’ve experienced a bittersweet love where your feelings didn’t get through to the other person, you’ll surely relate to this emotional track.

Also recommended for anyone who wants to bask in the sweet, bittersweet memories of love.

Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai70rank/position

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai “Japanese Rice Is the Best in the World”

This is the major-label debut single by the three-piece rock band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, known for the contrast between their modern loud sound driven by a 7-string guitar and a 5-string bass, and lyrics that chronicle everyday life.

The song’s theme—something every Japanese person can relate to—became a hot topic and was one of the reasons they were appointed as a special “FAN-bassador Rock” by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 2019.

Its rapidly shifting arrangement and relentless melody make it a perfect crowd-pleaser for karaoke, where everyone can sing along and get hyped.

It’s a rock tune highly recommended for karaoke that will raise the energy for both singers and listeners.
