I want to be your lover.Abe Mao85rank/position
A must-have heart-fluttering song that captures the pure feelings of unrequited love, “I Want to Be Your Lover.” It’s a track released in 2009 by singer-songwriter Mao Abe, known for her cool, powerful guitar-and-vocal style.
The song vividly portrays the bittersweet emotions of a crush, especially common during school days, and many listeners will surely find it nostalgic.
Your feelings naturally flow into it, so you can sing it with lots of emotion without even trying! When your emotions come through, your expressiveness shines and you’ll sing it well! Highly recommended!
Close your eyesHirai Ken86rank/position
Ken Hirai’s famous song, which portrays the pain and heartache of losing someone dear, is sure to resonate at karaoke.
The sorrow of losing a loved one seeps through every line of the lyrics.
You may find yourself in tears as he sings of a cherished person he can only meet in memories.
Released in April 2004, the song drew attention as the theme for the film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World.” It’s a recommended karaoke choice that comforts those who have experienced heartbreak or farewell.
If you sing it with feeling, it will surely move the hearts of those around you.
A Sunlit SlopeDo As Infinity87rank/position
Hin no Ataru Sakamichi by Do As Infinity, released in 2002.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “Hatsu Taiken.” Originally, the song was intended to be used only at a staff member’s wedding, but after the decision to release it, the lyrics were changed.
It’s a cool rock ballad with a touch of melancholy.
The key is a bit on the low side, so if it’s hard to sing at karaoke, try adjusting it to a suitable key.
Adding vibrato to the long notes will further enhance the quality of your performance!
MelissaPorunogurafiti88rank/position
Porno Graffitti is a musical duo that still enjoys strong, enduring popularity.
Among men in their thirties, more than half probably sing their songs quite often.
Of all their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Melissa.
It’s memorable for its sharp, punchy chorus, which carries a slight Latin flavor.
The A and B verses feel like refreshing rock, and the contrast creates a distinctive atmosphere.
SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu89rank/position
Masaharu Fukuyama is undoubtedly one of Japan’s most iconic figures, both as a singer-songwriter and as an actor.
It’s truly remarkable that he has continued to release hit songs from the 1990s through the Reiwa era.
While each generation likely has its own “Fukuyama songs,” Sakura-zaka, released in 2000, is a quintessential Heisei-era classic that achieved a record-breaking double million in sales.
Some may find ballads challenging, but the simply crafted melody line makes it easy to sing, and the relatively low key makes it approachable for those with lower voices.
If you carefully follow the scale, you can definitely aim for a high karaoke score; at the same time, the song’s charm lies in its lower register, so if you’re not confident with low melodies, this is a great piece to practice with.
Baby Babyichou BOYZ90rank/position
Ging Nang BOYZ is a rock band led by Kazunobu Mineta, a figure often called a charismatic presence in Japan’s rock scene.
Did you know that “BABY BABY,” included on the album “Kimi to Boku no Daisanji Sekai Taisen-teki Renai Kakumei,” is a song that has been performed since their predecessor band, GOING STEADY? Its lyrics weave poetic lines into a straightforward message, creating impact alongside catchy phrases.
With its hooky melody, it’s fun to sing and a rock tune that really fires up the room at karaoke.

Choo Choo TRAINEXILE91rank/position
If you want to hype up the karaoke room with an EXILE song, you can’t leave out “Choo Choo TRAIN”! It’s no exaggeration to say everyone knows this track—it’s the song that catapulted EXILE to fame and a true emblem of its era.
With its fun, infectious rhythm and the signature “spinning dance” moves that anyone can imitate, it’s a number you can enjoy solo or with a group, singing and dancing together.
While EXILE is known for their strong vocals, this song’s melody line is simple and easy to sing, and its high recognition factor guarantees excitement.
It’s a massive hit that’s perfect for unleashing pure joy while you sing.
