Cirno's Perfect Math Class (Full Ver.)

This is an arrangement of the theme song of Cirno, the stage 2 boss from the PC game “Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.” It’s a song that almost everyone who knows Nico Nico Douga is familiar with, so it’s easy to get the crowd excited.

Butter-Fly – Kouji Wada (Full) (Digimon Adventure OP)

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Digimon Adventure.

It’s one of the songs I always sing when I go to karaoke.

When I went with men of the same generation, we all belted it out together—that’s how much I love this song.

I especially love how it builds up into the chorus.

Yorushika – Just Clear Skies for You (MUSIC VIDEO)

This Yorushika song evokes the bittersweetness of youth.

Its refreshing, transparent band sound resonates pleasantly.

Suis’s vocals beautifully capture the protagonist’s feelings as they immerse themselves in memories of the past.

Released in May 2018, the track captured many hearts, surpassing 100 million views on YouTube.

It’s a great song to enjoy on a drive or to get hyped at karaoke with friends.

The key is to add accents in sync with the rhythm of the track.

Be sure to give this song—wildly popular among younger generations—a listen.

[MV full] Heavy Rotation / AKB48 [Official]

I think it’s a nationally well-known song that people of all ages can get excited about.

The dance choreography is relatively simple for an AKB song, so I was able to learn it quickly.

I remember that when we danced to it at karaoke, it got the crowd going even more than we expected.

UVERworld “A Drop’s Influence -Double Life-”

It was selected as the opening theme for the MBS/TBS anime Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga, which led to a dramatic surge in popularity.

It’s an intense rock track that packs in everything cool about UVERworld, so it’s guaranteed to get people fired up.

RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION34rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite (2016 ver.)”

A single released by the rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION on August 4, 2004, it is one of their signature songs.

It served as the fourth opening theme for the MBS/TBS anime Fullmetal Alchemist, and is a hugely popular track so well-known that virtually no one in their twenties hasn’t heard of it.

The song is memorable for its fusion of the band’s musical style with philosophical lyrics.

Even if you’re not familiar with ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, many people have likely heard this song.

PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Melissa (Short ver.)' / PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Melissa (Short Ver.)'

Because it was used in the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, it’s very well-known and easy to get the crowd excited.

It’s one of the songs I always choose when I go to karaoke.

This applies to Porno Graffitti’s songs in general, but since the pitch is high, I think men will need to adjust the key when singing.
