peace signYonezu Kenshi21rank/position
From children to adults, it’s no exaggeration to say that everyone now knows Kenshi Yonezu.
He has many hit songs, but this track, “Peace Sign,” served as the opening theme for the anime My Hero Academia, so it’s likely known to an even wider range of generations.
When we struggle with worries, anxieties, or seemingly insurmountable obstacles, we tend to focus on them—but this song feels like it gives us the power to look beyond.
It empathizes with our pain and hardship, yet the chorus delivers a solid sense of salvation—that’s the impression it leaves.

This standout track sets a sweet and bittersweet love story to a catchy pop melody.
Featured on the album “melt pop,” it’s inspired by the fuzzy navel—a cocktail mixing peach and orange.
The song skillfully captures youthful emotions like the tang of first love and the looming sense of goodbye, resonating deeply with listeners.
Released digitally in April 2023, it also sparked a big reaction on TikTok.
It’s the perfect song for anyone wanting to revel in the sweet-and-sour memories of youth, or for high schoolers looking to light up a karaoke session.

You don’t listen to rock.aimyon23rank/position
A signature song by Aimyon that has surpassed 100 million streams.
It’s a refreshing rock number that sings of unrequited love alongside youth.
Love and music are inseparable.
We all experience the joys and bittersweet moments of love while being supported by various songs.
Especially in our teens, we’re drawn to lyrics that express our feelings.
Even if the person you love isn’t the type to listen to the music you like, this song conveys the feeling of: “This song supported me! Please fall in love with the me that it helped!” Released in September 2017, this track is also popular for karaoke.
SignalWANIMA24rank/position
A song filled with courage and hope that sets listeners’ hearts ablaze! It features a driving, fast-paced sound and uplifting lyrics, carrying the message: “Even if we’re unfinished, let’s keep challenging ourselves.” Included on the January 2018 album “Everybody!!,” it was performed with 1,000 eighteen-year-olds on the NHK special program “18-sai Matsuri.” It was also used as the commercial song for Lotte Ice “Sou.” This is a track that gives a push to young people standing at life’s crossroads, such as during entrance exams or job hunting.
All the more reason to listen when you’re struggling with worries or anxiety—you’re sure to find courage.
On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon25rank/position
A bittersweet love story that beautifully depicts springtime farewells and new encounters.
Set on an April night, this love song richly portrays the wavering feelings of two people keeping their distance, alongside the sight of cherry blossoms blooming in the city.
Released in February 2021 as the theme song for the romantic reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by Love and the Wolf,” the piece highlights Aimyon’s delicate expressive power, featuring a sweet yet somehow heartrending melody that leaves a strong impression.
Also included on the album “Falling into Your Eyes Record,” it drew attention together with its music video set in the urban landscape of Shinjuku.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to savor the poignancy of love while feeling the atmosphere of spring and the passing of cherry blossom season.
Drunkenness UnknownKanaria26rank/position
An irresistibly catchy dance number produced by Kanaria, a massively popular Vocaloid producer.
Released in May 2022, the track is also known for taking the top spot on Billboard JAPAN’s UGC chart.
It’s included in games like “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku,” so many teens may have discovered it while playing.
The worldbuilding, which blurs the line between reality and unreality, paired with its rhythmic beat, is truly addictive.
It might seem challenging at first glance, but the vocal range is relatively narrow and there are few demanding high notes, making it surprisingly easy to sing.
It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke, and even those with lower voice types can perform it stylishly.
A Little Love SongMONGOL80027rank/position
This beloved song by MONGOL800 is packed with memories of youth.
Its gentle lyrics about long-distance love and the bittersweetness of first love resonate with many.
Included on the album “MESSAGE,” released in September 2001, it’s a long-running hit that continues to be covered.
It also drew attention as an insert song in the drama “Operation Love” (Proposal Daisakusen).
Perfect for your morning commute to school or when you want to get hyped at karaoke with friends.
Why not listen to this song and paint a beautiful page of your youth?
Blue SpringSUPER BEAVER28rank/position
It is a heartwarming song that celebrates the radiance of youth and the bonds between people.
Released as a single in March 2016, it became well-loved as the web commercial song for Taisho Pharmaceutical’s Lipovitan D.
It powerfully expresses the resolve to live with faith in the future and how memories with loved ones give life its meaning.
The track is included on the album “27,” created when the members were 27 years old, and proudly reached No.
16 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
SUPER BEAVER’s earnest vocals and band sound deliver moving emotions that resonate in the heart.
It’s recommended for times when you want to sing together and get energized with friends, such as for class performances or school festivals.
This is a song that accompanies those who wish to share their feelings with someone special, as well as those who feel nostalgic for their youth.
KanadeSukima Suichi29rank/position
Many people are probably familiar with Sukima Switch’s signature song, “Kanade.” When you perform in front of everyone at karaoke, choosing a song no one knows can kill the vibe.
So it’s better to pick something everyone recognizes.
“Kanade” is also set in a key that’s easy to sing even for boys whose voices are changing, so you don’t have to worry about messing up.
If you’re nervous about singing at karaoke, you can’t go wrong by choosing “Kanade.”
hundreds of millions of light-yearsOmoinotake30rank/position
Released on February 28, 2024, this song became an explosive hit, and many vocal students practiced it in lessons! The overall range is A#3 to F#5, which is typical for a female artist, but I think it’s singable for pre-voice-change males as well.
Of course, those who are good with high notes will also find it approachable, but since it stays high right from the start, sustaining that level is crucial.
In any case, focus on deep diaphragmatic breathing, resonating in the same placement, and maintaining strong core awareness—you should be able to make it through at least the first verse.
I also recommend starting softly in falsetto at first.
