Dried flowersYuuri15rank/position

Yuuri – Dry Flower / THE FIRST TAKE

Released in 2020, Yuuri’s “Dry Flower” spread mainly through social media and became a long-running hit.

The song is a breakup ballad told from a woman’s perspective, and many listeners have probably shed tears because of it.

Yuuri’s vocals heighten the sense of heartbreak and really tug at your heartstrings.

It might be a bit challenging to sing perfectly at karaoke, but try adjusting the key and give it a go.

Since it’s from a woman’s point of view, it’s great for women to sing as well.

It’s a song that everyone will naturally find themselves humming.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE16rank/position

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Bitter Vacation” Official Music Video

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE is a band with overwhelming support from young people.

Rather than being characterized by highly original musicality, their hallmark is an approachable sound that prioritizes catchiness, and they’ve released many hit songs to date.

However, despite their catchiness, Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs tend to be extremely difficult to perform.

That’s why we recommend Bitter Vacation.

With a range of mid1 C# to hi A, it’s on the narrower side for a Mrs.

GREEN APPLE song, so you shouldn’t struggle too much in terms of vocal production.

That said, the overall key is on the higher side, so transposing is essential.

As for crowd-pleasing impact, it’s outstanding—definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

SUNHoshino Gen17rank/position

Gen Hoshino – SUN (Official Video)

Gen Hoshino is a singer-songwriter who enjoys wide popularity for his broad musical range, from stylish tracks rooted in R&B and neo-soul to catchy, pop-leaning songs.

He has many classics, but the one I especially recommend for men with particularly low voices is SUN.

This piece sits in an average vocal range of mid1 D# to hi A.

While the arrangement highlights the lower register typical of Hoshino’s vocal quality, the hi A may feel slightly low as a ceiling for men with deep voices, so consider lowering the key with that note as your reference point.

TT-Japanese ver.-Twice18rank/position

TWICE「TT -Japanese ver.-」Music Video

A hit song representative of TWICE, a group hugely popular among young people that also performed at the 2017 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

The TT dance—making a TT pose with your fingers—became a massive craze among the younger generation.

Its charming choreography and catchy pop melody are the main attractions.

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

It goes without saying that this is one of RADWIMPS’s signature songs and one of the main themes of the smash-hit anime Your Name.

Released in August 2016.

While this song is introduced as “easy to sing even for people who aren’t good at singing,” you might find it surprisingly difficult when you actually try it.

Vocalist Noda’s voice is very approachable, which may make you think so, but if you really listen closely, you’ll notice he’s quite skilled.

So when you try it at karaoke, you might end up thinking, “Huh? The key is high!” Since it’s an upbeat, lively rock track, it’s fine to power through even if your voice cracks or gets a bit hoarse, but if you’re worried, it might be safer to lower the key a little before singing.

BUMP OF CHICKEN, beloved across generations for their one-of-a-kind musicality and the distinctive lyrics crafted by vocalist Motoo Fujiwara, have a signature song so iconic that it practically defines them: “Tentai Kansoku” (Stargazing).

It’s also a surefire hit at karaoke.

Chances are, everyone listening will end up humming along together.

BUMP OF CHICKEN「ray」

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s second digital-only single, released in March 2014.

The song drew attention for its collaboration with Hatsune Miku, but since we’re introducing it as a karaoke pick this time, here’s the standalone band version.

It’s a lively, up-tempo pop-rock track that’s very true to their style, and it should be great fun to sing at karaoke.

There aren’t any particularly difficult parts to sing, so enjoy yourself and blow off some steam! High school students might find a lot of the lyrics especially relatable.
