PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism
Speaking of hit songs from 2019, Official HIGE DANDism’s “Pretender” is a must.
It’s not the kind of song where you shout it out and feel refreshed; rather, it’s one where you sing the high chorus lines smoothly and gracefully, leaving you with a real sense of accomplishment.
It’s a sad, heartrending love song, but the build-up toward the chorus and the explosive hook capture listeners’ hearts—making it perfect for karaoke.
Be sure to belt out those highest notes and savor the feeling of achievement when you finish!
Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy
Singer-songwriter Vaundy is beloved for his music that layers an R&B-tinged melody over a languid, ennui-laden vibe.
While he usually performs songs infused with R&B elements, this particular track is crafted with an alternative rock sound distilled into pop music.
Its soaring high notes in the chorus and a brief, striking shout leave a strong impression, making it a staple choice for karaoke.
Released in May 2020, the song was also featured in a commercial for Maruha Nichiro’s WILDish series, “For Us.” It’s a perfect track for people coping with modern-day stress, and highly recommended for anyone who wants to belt it out at karaoke and blow away the fatigue of daily life.
Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This song was released as a single cut from their sixth album, “ark,” which came out in 1999.
In karaoke, the official music video with the artist is also popular.
The grand scenery, fast-paced visuals, and flow of the lyrics match perfectly, making it really cool—highly recommended.
The overall tone is bright, and if you focus on the lyrics and channel hyde as you sing, you can really capture the vibe.
Give it a try!
Black SheepMori Calliope
Mori Calliope, a VTuber popular among overseas audiences, boasts high vocal ability—unsurprising given that her performer is an established international singer—and delivers outstanding performances even in Japanese, which she’s less familiar with.
She can handle anything from cute tunes to sharp-edged rock, but among her tracks, the one I recommend for a shout-along is Black Sheep.
It features many mid-range shout phrases, so it’s a great pick if you like songs in the vein of Ado.
YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA
Loved as one of CHAGE and ASKA’s signature songs, it’s been a karaoke staple for many years.
While the song’s overall appeal lies in its refreshing vibe, the chorus makes you want to thrust your fist in the air and belt it out with passion! It’s a versatile track that works great solo or as a group sing-along.
Perfect for when you want to shout-sing and feel refreshed, or when you want to crank up the energy in an instant.
It’s a timeless classic loved across generations, so it’s a safe pick at any karaoke where the crowd might vary.
Hungry PrideMakishimamu Za Horumon
With their unique worldview and one-of-a-kind presence, Maximum the Hormone truly stands apart.
What’s amazing, above all, are their lyrics.
It’s fun to take your time reading and unpacking them.
Their song “Hungry Pride” was used in a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, so many of you have probably heard it.
It’s fast and packed with words—you might trip over your tongue—but if you can sing it, you’ll feel utterly refreshed! Finishing this song gives you a real sense of completion and achievement.
And then, finish it off with that final torrent of shouts for the knockout blow!
peace signYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu, who transitioned from the Vocaloid scene to the J-POP scene, is now thriving as a wildly popular singer-songwriter.
His songs and vocals tend to have a cool vibe, but this track in particular feels like one that really gets the crowd going! Especially the chorus, which is full of speed and momentum—I think it’ll still look cool even if you roughen your voice a bit when you sing it.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to sing songs by currently popular artists!
