If you learn it for karaoke, I’m sure there’ll be a time when it gets everyone excited.

I think this is SiM’s most famous song.

SiM might look like a super intense band at first glance, but when you see them live you can really enjoy the musicianship backed by their years of activity.

Killing Me is the wildest song in their live shows.

The lyrics themselves are simple English, so aside from the shouts, it’s relatively easy to sing at karaoke.

The level of polish is unbelievable for a comedy movie theme song! With this track, Snow Man showcases a camaraderie that feels just like brothers.

Lyrics about little everyday moments—like how getting up in the morning is a hassle or how the pudding’s gone—tickle the listener’s heart.

Released in March 2022, the song gained attention through its tie-in with the film Osomatsu-san.

With its exhilarating melody and catchy choreography, it’s guaranteed to fire up school events and karaoke with friends! Dance along, and you’re sure to spread smiles all around.

This is the first digital-only single by WANIMA, a three-piece rock band from Kumamoto that’s arguably the most popular among melodic hardcore bands in today’s J-pop scene.

It’s a cover arranged from the English folk song “The Picnic,” and its positive message set to a melody everyone knows from childhood is sure to lift your spirits.

With lyrics that teach the importance of taking on challenges and a driving sound, it seems perfect to perform at school cultural festivals.

It’s a simple song, so any band playing it on stage is guaranteed to get the crowd going—an unmistakable rock tune.

It’s a killer tune by the hugely popular band Porno Graffitti.

The song stays in a high register, so it’s tough to sing at karaoke, but if you can pull it off, it’s incredibly cool.

Porno Graffitti has lots of other great tracks too, so I definitely recommend giving them a listen.
