CreepHyp – Love Hotel

Creephype’s “Love Hotel” is themed around common stories between men and women.

Released in 2013 as the lead track from the album “Buki Koboreru Hodo no I, Ai, Ai,” the album reached No.

6 on the Oricon charts.

A fleeting, surface-level summer romance feels heartbreaking when you step into the protagonist’s shoes.

Even if you later think, “What was I doing back then?”, in the moment you’re serious and throw yourself into it completely.

It’s a pop tune that’s become a staple at the band’s live shows and festivals, so definitely give it a listen!

My Hair is Bad – Deep Crimson (Official Music Video)

When it comes to writing songs about unrequited love or romance, My Hair is second to none.

They’re incredibly good at speaking for the feelings of teens and people in their twenties.

Their view of love may feel a bit extreme, but since they’re a band popular among teenagers, their songs are great picks for unrequited love.

The clinginess might just get addictive.

Sakanaction / Kaiju -Music Video-

This song, created as the theme for the anime “Chi.: On the Movements of the Earth,” marks a new frontier for them.

It features intricate arrangements and emotive vocals, was released on February 20, 2025, and in March of the same year a video release of an arena tour named after the song followed.

The A-melody has a distinctive rhythm, and the chorus stands out with a melody line that stretches and swells.

If you get drawn into vocalist Yamaguchi’s delivery, it might become difficult to hit the pitches, so I think it’s better to sing it in a matter-of-fact, steady manner.

Arigatou – Ikimono-gakari (Full)

This is Ikimono-gakari’s 18th single, released in May 2010.

It was reportedly written as the theme song for the first half of NHK’s 2010 morning drama series Gegege no Nyobo.

The piece has a slightly ballad-like feel and has been crafted into a very gentle and beautiful song.

Perhaps because it expresses a “tender feeling,” the vocal melody is also very straightforward and beautiful, making it quite easy to sing—especially for many women choosing it at karaoke.

If you try singing by placing the resonance toward the upper palate inside your mouth, you’ll likely get a brighter, sparkling tone with rich high overtones similar to the original singer’s.

Give it a try!

Golden Bomber “Memeshikute” Music Video

This is the sixth single by Golden Bomber, a four-member band that created the one-of-a-kind genre of “visual kei air band” and has earned high praise for the quality of their songs.

It’s also known as Golden Bomber’s signature track, as they performed it for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015 on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

With catchy choreography—starting with the window-wiping dance—it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke with friends.

The key is on the higher side for the average male, making it an easy and recommended number for teenage girls to sing.

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan – “Gather Around! Party People” Music Video [Major Version]

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan is a rock band from Osaka.

Their song “Atsumare! Party People” is, just as the title suggests, perfect when you want to enjoy karaoke with a party vibe.

True to punk rock style, this up-tempo track features driving, energetic guitar, and singing it will instantly get you hyped! There are call-and-response parts from start to finish, so even people hearing it for the first time can join in and get pumped together—that’s the best part.

It’s not a melodic song, so don’t worry if you’re not confident in your singing ability.

Just sing without overthinking it and have a blast.

High schoolers are guaranteed to get fired up with this one, too!

Spitz / Beautiful Fin

Spitz is a Japanese band that has continued to be popular since the 1990s.

Their catchy melodies stick in your head no matter where you pick them up.

Especially since the 2020s, they’ve been churning out hits to the point that you could call it a resurgence.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Utsukushii Hire (Beautiful Fin).

Their music is orthodox pop, which makes it easier to sing compared to other genres, and this track, too, stands out for its friendly, approachable melody with that same quality.

It might seem a bit high, but it’s a range that most women can handle without issue, so try not to switch to falsetto unnecessarily.
