Ellie Goulding – Burn (Official Video)

This is a cheer song by Ellie Goulding, whose luxurious musicality and catchy yet heavy melodic sense create an overwhelming presence.

With its energetic vibe, it sets a pleasant mood and feels approachable for teenage girls, making it a song you’ll want to sing at karaoke.

Kenshi Yonezu – Eine Kleine

Kenshi Yonezu is such a national artist that there may be no one in Japan who doesn’t know him now.

The song “Eine Kleine” is a track from his second album “YANKEE,” released in 2014, and it’s a very popular love song.

It’s the kind of number that conveys, almost painfully, the feeling of caring for someone so deeply that you’d rather be the one to get hurt than hurt someone else because of that love—the emotions come crashing in.

Although it’s a song by a male artist, it’s sung from a female perspective, and it’s a piece that women can sing naturally without feeling out of place.

Make you happyNiziU94rank/position

NiziU 『Make you happy』 M/V

A single by the girl idol group NiziU, released in June 2020.

They even performed it at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s an adorable, upbeat song that’s very idol-like, so giving it some fussy analysis here would be pretty pointless.

Don’t worry about whether you’re good at singing or not—just sing it with your friends and have fun! Some people might find the key a bit high, so keep that in mind when you pick it at karaoke.

Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya95rank/position

Where Our Blue Is / Tatsuya Kitani

Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, also known as a Vocaloid producer and bassist.

Selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death, this track was released in July 2023 as the title song of his third EP.

Its lyrics poignantly capture the bittersweet shift in a once carefree friendship, while celebrating the lingering glow of youth that stays in the heart.

The piercing high-tone vocals and driving ensemble make it perfect not only for anime-loving kids, but also for anyone confident in their karaoke chops.

A must-hear rock tune that received a Special Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards.

I am the strongest.Ado96rank/position

[Ado] I’m the Strongest (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)

A singer who continues to captivate the world with overwhelming vocal power and expressiveness, Ado.

Many people may feel her signature songs are so challenging that they give up on singing them.

That’s exactly why we recommend taking on “I’m Invincible.” A massive hit as an insert song in the 2022 film ONE PIECE FILM RED, this track is a refreshing pop tune provided by Motoki Omori of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Among Ado’s songs, its melody is catchy and easy to remember, and the chorus delivers an exceptional sense of release.

While switching between chest voice and falsetto is essential, you can absolutely pull it off with enough momentum.

The lyrics, infused with a strong belief in oneself, will fill you with courage just by singing them.

It’s the perfect song for hyping up a karaoke session with friends or for when you want a boost of confidence.

MonitoringDECO*2797rank/position

DECO*27 – Monitoring feat. Hatsune Miku

DECO*27, a pioneer in the Vocaloid scene, enjoys overwhelming support.

The name is pronounced “Deco Nina.” He has created numerous classic tracks, but the one I especially recommend to teenagers is this piece included on the album TRANSFORM.

Released with a music video in November 2024, it captivated audiences with its dark worldview depicting a gaze through a door viewer, and sparked a huge reaction—topping the UGC charts in the first half of 2025.

It blends a nostalgic, Showa-era kayōkyoku-style melody with a heavy low end, and the overall vocal range isn’t very wide.

There are many spoken, conversational sections, so even those who aren’t confident in their high notes should be able to sing it comfortably.

Once you lock into its distinctive rhythm, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.

Tokyo Shandy RendezvousMAISONdes feat. Kafu, Tsumiki98rank/position

[239] [feat. KAF, Tsumiki] Tokyo Shandy Rendezvous / MAISONdes

The remake of the anime Urusei Yatsura garnered overwhelming support from younger generations.

“Tokyo Shandy Rendezvous” is the theme song for the remake version and also became a topic of discussion in Japan as a meme related to Teikyo Heisei University.

The vocal range is mid1 F# to high D, but the most frequently appearing high note is high E, so it’s best to adjust the key with an emphasis on making that note easier to sing.
