Don’t go.Souta22rank/position

Uta-nee Yuki “Don’t Go” (remaster)

This is one of Sota’s signature songs, depicting a heartrending moment of parting.

The protagonist’s plea—“Please don’t go”—sinks into the heart alongside the sound of the piano.

Released in October 2013, the track is included on the album “Shonen Shoujo no Kotoba.” It’s a song that stays close to those who carry the fear of losing someone important or the weight of loneliness.

If you’ve had such experiences, you might find yourself in tears while singing it.

Sing it with all your heart.

Butterfly on the Right Shouldernori P23rank/position

Kagamine Len Original Song: “Butterfly on the Right Shoulder”

This is a 2009 track by Nori-P that beautifully blends a stylish sound with bittersweet romance.

A Kagamine Rin version was released in April, followed by a Koi version in May, and both have enjoyed great popularity.

It features a somewhat mature vocal tone and a melody reminiscent of 1990s J-pop.

You’ll be drawn into the song’s alluring world, which portrays a precarious romantic relationship.

If you want to look cool at karaoke, be sure to give this song a try.

Melancholic / Junky feat. Kagamine Rin

A cute unrequited-love song that portrays the feelings of a girl who just can’t be honest.

With its memorable, catchy melody, it debuted in September 2010.

Set to an upbeat band sound, it skillfully expresses a girl’s frustrating emotions.

If you’ve ever struggled with love, you’ll surely relate to that slightly bittersweet heart.

Why not belt it out while thinking of the person you adore?

Charles / Balloon (self cover)

Released in 2016, this historically successful Vocaloid song won support for its bittersweet breakup-themed lyrics and emotional melody, surpassing 130 million total views on YouTube.

Balloon/Suda Keina’s self-cover is also extremely popular, and in karaoke I often notice many men sing an octave lower while keeping the original key.

The song itself rides on a fast-paced band sound, resulting in a fragile yet beautiful piece that depicts a breakup and what follows from a male perspective.

Many people struggle where the pitch jumps up suddenly in the chorus, but if you avoid belting and skillfully switch to falsetto, you can sing it smoothly.

Deep Sea Girlyūyu27rank/position

Yuyu feat. Hatsune Miku “Deep Sea Girl” MV (with translation)

Even now, long after its release, “Deep Sea Girl” continues to impress listeners.

The lyrics, centered on a girl steeped in deep sorrow, have been widely praised for being relatable when you’re feeling down.

From that alone you might think it’s a dark ballad, right? But the sound features an overwhelmingly powerful band arrangement with cool, ringing guitars.

The chorus explodes with energy, making it a perfect pick for karaoke!

Ego Rocksurii28rank/position

Ego Rock (long ver.) / Surii feat. Kagamine Len

Released in 2018 as the second installment of the 60-second series, this track is a powerful Vocalo-rock number that can be called one of Surii’s signature works.

Its condensed sense of speed, distortion-heavy sound, and Kagamine Len’s strong vocals are a perfect match.

The lyrics, which cynically depict rebellion against society, wavering self-consciousness, and inner conflict, are compelling—seamlessly fusing satisfying wordplay with an aggressive message.

In 2021, a long version and a PV were released.

It’s the perfect song to instantly hype up the room at karaoke.

The short version is easy to memorize, and it’s great fun to sing with friends! An energetic number that blasts away the suffocating feel of everyday life.
