Singing the latest hits can show you’re on trend, but classic anthems are still essential for getting the crowd going at karaoke.

That’s why we recommend “Hai Yorokonde.” It’s often seen as high and difficult, but that’s only if you try to replicate the falsetto in the chorus; the highest chest note is mid2 F#, which isn’t particularly high.

The song is guaranteed to hype up the room, but since it has many rapid-fire lyrics, make sure you identify your breathing spots in advance.

This is a song that reminds you of the innocent dreams of childhood.

The story, depicted through Vaundy’s unique worldview, resonates deeply alongside its energetic sound.

The protagonist’s attempt to reclaim a fading passion through the song of someone dear is striking, and it gives courage to those who listen.

Included on the May 2020 album “strobo,” the track was also featured in a Maruha Nichiro commercial, and after its performance at the 2022 Kouhaku Uta Gassen, it became beloved by many.

Released in July 2020 as a single by Nana Mori, it became a big hit as the commercial song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Oronamin C.

It’s hugely popular, with over 30 million views on YouTube.

Loved by a wide range of age groups as a staple tune, it’s sure to be a lifesaver when you’re stuck choosing a karaoke song.

Rira Ikuta “Sparkle” Official Music Video

A song with a refreshing vibe that stands up to the summer heat.

Lila Ikuta’s transparent, airy vocals are especially striking.

This work gently portrays the bittersweet ache of a first love, likening it to a shooting star.

The lyrics, imbued with a wish to cherish the memories of a fragile romance, are sure to resonate.

It’s included on the album “Sketch,” released in March 2023, and was also selected as the theme song for ABEMA’s show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita.” It’s a perfect pick for karaoke, too.

How about singing out the feelings you keep in your heart to its gentle melody?

Just a little more

A music unit, YOASOBI’s digital single released on May 10, 2021.

It is their ninth digital single.

The song was also selected as the 2021 annual theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV.” This track has a light, slightly swung rhythm, making it easy and fun to hum along to at karaoke—even for those who don’t often sing.

Of course, YOASOBI’s singer ikura is highly regarded for her vocal ability; if you listen closely to her performance, you’ll notice how skillfully she switches her vocal delivery depending on the melody and lyrics.

Also, perhaps because YOASOBI’s songwriter Ayase started out as a Vocaloid producer, the sound production uses pitch correction as an effect.

Some people who aren’t confident singers might find that off-putting, but the song itself—especially the vocal melody—is very approachable and pop-leaning.

Don’t let your first impression fool you; feel free to pick it at karaoke and have fun with it!

Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai62rank/position

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

With an unmistakably provocative band name that sticks in your head once you hear it, this is a track from the Japanese loud rock band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai’s mini-album “Mada Mada Shinmai,” released in April 2015.

Judging from the band name and the song title, you might assume it’s a novelty/comic song, but it’s actually crafted at a fairly high level as a rock tune.

If you’re not confident in your singing and try to perform it exactly like the original, you might end up frustrated.

There are many sections that require high-tone shouts, so it’s important to lower the key just enough that the high notes don’t become too easy, but still have some challenge.

To sing high notes without straining your throat, vocal training lessons are essential, so if you don’t have experience, be careful not to force shouts and hurt your throat.

Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu / “Super Strongest” Music Video

An idol group that has gained popularity with a music style and aesthetic fully devoted to uniquely Japanese cuteness, Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu.

Because they are known as successors to Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, I think any high school otaku well-versed in idol culture would know them.

Their song “Cho Saikyo” is a signature piece of theirs.

While it gives a pop impression, the vocal range is not that wide at mid2C to hiC♯, and the vocal lines don’t have abrupt pitch jumps, so it’s relatively easy.
