366 daysHY22rank/position
A signature ballad by HY, released in 2008 and widely known as the theme song for the film “Red Thread.” “366 Days” has been covered by many artists and is especially popular.
It’s basically composed in a lower range; if you resonate in your mouth and sing with a deep tone, you can achieve a powerful voice like Izumi Nakasone’s.
The key is switching to falsetto in the pre-chorus—if you don’t nail that, it feels hard to flow smoothly into the chorus.
Aim gently and accurately for the pitch bar there.
The chorus builds up a lot, so singing with an explosive burst of emotion should also help enhance your expressiveness!
JOYYU-KI23rank/position
How about trying to sing one of YUKI’s classic songs? Its upbeat rhythm and lyrics expressing the joy of love are truly appealing.
The message about cherishing everyday happiness resonates with listeners.
Released as a single in 2002, it was also included on the album “joy.” The music video—featuring a memorable performance with dancers—was such a sensation that it was honored at SPACE SHOWER MVA 06.
Sing it at karaoke and the atmosphere will instantly liven up.
If you perform it at karaoke after a mixer with the opposite sex, it’s sure to become a wonderful memory.
It’s also perfect when you want a boost of energy.
Be sure to practice and enjoy singing it together with everyone!
EverythingMISIA24rank/position
The stage name of MISIA, a female singer who has earned high acclaim both in Japan and abroad, was born from the desire to “bring music to people across ASIA.” Her 7th single, “Everything,” was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama Yamato Nadeshiko and became a massive hit that is now synonymous with MISIA herself.
Its grand ensemble, which evokes an ethereal snowy landscape, is sure to liven up karaoke sessions during the Christmas season.
Relatively easy to sing among MISIA’s songs, it has been a staple winter track for women at karaoke ever since its release.
cherry blossomKetsumeishi25rank/position
Ketsumeishi established a melodic rap style in the 2000s, appealing even to listeners who weren’t hip-hop fans and achieving nationwide popularity.
Their 2005 release “Sakura” is the landmark smash hit that truly brought their name into living rooms across the country.
Many people probably have memories of listening to their music in their twenties while driving with friends or a significant other.
Even in the Reiwa era, it remains a karaoke favorite.
Not only is the melodic part catchy enough to hum right away, but the rap sections aren’t particularly difficult, so even those who feel unsure about rapping should give it a try.
It can be a lot of fun to split the song with friends—one person handling the melody and another the rap!
Paradise BabyRIP SLYME26rank/position
For those in their 30s today, the April 2025 announcement that RIP SLYME would be restarting with all five original members must have been electrifying news.
They produced many hits in the 2000s, but when it comes to karaoke, the first song that comes to mind is undoubtedly Rakuen Baby, released in 2002.
In recent years it’s enjoyed a revival on platforms like TikTok, so it’s well-known among younger generations too.
With its Latin-flavored arrangement and the group’s strength of having four distinct MCs on full display, it’s a super-charged killer tune that always brings the hype, making it a karaoke favorite.
The melody is woven in generously, so even those who aren’t confident with rap should find it approachable.
Sing it with friends while trading rap lines, and you’re guaranteed to have a blast!

Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Unfavorable Gene” starring Yuko Takeuchi, it reached No.
8 on the Oricon charts.
The song expresses a desire to move forward and captures the feelings YUI had when she decided to move to Tokyo.
Its clear vocals and melody are captivating, making it perfect for moments when you want to express yourself or convey your emotions.
It’s also recommended if you want to win someone’s heart at karaoke after a night out.
Marigoldaimyon28rank/position
A song by Aimyon that gently sings of the fragility of love and the hope within it.
