Ed Sheeran – Shape of You (Official Music Video)

The person singing this song is a man named Ed Sheeran.

Believe it or not, it’s said that the person who sparked his popularity in Japan was Chiemi Blouson.

During her huge boom, she announced on TV, “I like Ed Sheeran,” and it seems things took off when she had him appear on the show.

Of course, I’m sure there were many fans even before that.

Aimyon – You Don’t Listen to Rock [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyong’s signature song, and a karaoke favorite, is “Kimi wa Rock wo Kikanai” (“You Don’t Listen to Rock”).

Sung with acoustic guitar, it portrays the struggle between a man and a woman who just can’t see eye to eye.

The lyrics can be taken as a heartbreak song or an unrequited love song.

Overall, it sits in a high, powerful range, so it may take some technique to pull off.

However, because it’s slow-tempo and the melody is fairly steady, it also makes it easier to showcase your vocal ability.

Biri MillionYuuri80rank/position

Yuuri “Birimirion” Official Music Video

It’s a passionate cheer song that celebrates life’s infinite possibilities and the preciousness of living in the moment.

Tekken’s flipbook-style animated music video became a hot topic, and the song has gone viral—surpassing 100 million streams—and continues to give many people a boost.

The overall vocal range is fairly wide, from D3 to C5, so it’s recommended for those who are good with high notes.

Also, the vibe changes drastically in the latter half, so being able to sing that part well is key.

If you approach it like there are two songs within one, you should be fine.

Stay calm and give it a try.

M!LK – So in love it’s devastating! (Official Music Video)

M!LK is a dance-vocal group gaining attention for their high-energy pure love songs that comically and poppily express explosive infatuation.

To mark their 10th anniversary, they began releasing this work in October 2025.

It’s packed with classic idol pop elements, punchy, phonetically striking phrases, and rhythmic callouts, giving it an irresistibly catchy vibe that makes you want to sing along.

The shout-along hook in the chorus leaves a powerful impact and is incredibly addictive—perfect for everyone to chant together and get hyped.

Designed with call-and-response in mind, it’s an ideal upper-tune to kick off a karaoke session, warming up the crowd as you have a blast with friends.

The Story You Don’t Knowsupercell82rank/position

The Story You Don’t Know – supercell

Now it’s an absolute karaoke classic: “The Story You Don’t Know” by Supercell.

This track, Supercell’s major-label debut single, was chosen as the ending theme when the hugely popular manga Bakemonogatari was adapted into an anime.

It’s a thrilling, adventurous song that gets your heart racing! I especially recommend it if you’re not too familiar with anime yourself but have lots of friends who love it.

It’s guaranteed to hype up the room and earn you some serious respect!

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.

First Love Killernozomi84rank/position

Noashi (noa) – First Love Killer [Official Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Noshiki, who’s popular for her quirky melodies and lyrics that resonate especially well with women.

She’s known for a genreless musical style, releasing songs with a different vibe each time compared to her previous work.

Speaking of her signature tracks, wouldn’t “First Love Killer” be the one? While it carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, the freshness of the track keeps it far from sounding outdated.

The vocals weave in some rap, and because the range is very narrow, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.

It also goes over great at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
