X Japan - Kurenai

Now that X Japan has become a band representing Japan, weren’t they the first to bring the genre of heavy metal—previously unfamiliar to many Japanese households—into living rooms across the country? Their songs, which fuse intense rock with elegant classical elements, left many people in their thirties stunned and fervent during their youth.

Their major debut song, “Kurenai,” still electrifies audiences today as one of X Japan’s signature tracks.

ORANGE RANGE “Shanghai Honey” MV

Among the songs you can belt out at karaoke, this is the one I want to recommend not as a heartfelt ballad, but as a track you can sing, dance, and have fun with! Released by ORANGE RANGE in 2003, it’s one of their signature hits.

The back-to-back mic relay is a blast, so when you sing it at karaoke, make sure everyone joins in and enjoys it together! The upbeat, catchy chorus has a groove that’s so fun it’ll make you want to start dancing.

The song was later used as an insert track in the 2004 drama “Orange Days,” which boosted its popularity even more.

With its light, lively rhythm capturing the fresh emotions of youthful love and coming-of-age, it’s a perfect pick for gatherings with friends or parties.
