This is the third installment of the “FIVE Series,” a member-introduction song produced by Masahiro Nakai and included on the 2012 album GIFT of SMAP.

It’s an up-tempo dance number that weaves the members’ characteristics into the lyrics, and it’s a signature track that expresses the group’s bond and resolve, with call-and-response with fans being a staple at concerts.

The first half focuses on member introductions and dance, but the latter half features a solid vocal melody, making it a likely crowd-pleaser at karaoke as well!

STAYNEW!SMAP

A celebrated classic included on the 2006 album “Pop Up! SMAP,” adored by fans.

Lyrics by Keiko Sahara, music by Genki Hibino.

Loved as a song about the bond with fans, it ranked first in the fan vote on the 25th-anniversary best-of album “SMAP 25 YEARS” in 2016.

The track is a medium ballad, crafted so that steady vocals resonate over a gentle accompaniment.

When singing it, I think it’s best to imagine projecting your voice confidently without hesitation.

It’s an upbeat, cheerful pop song that became a huge hit as the theme for the TBS drama “Jinsei wa Jojo da,” starring Downtown’s Masatoshi Hamada and Takuya Kimura.

Written and composed by Kenji Ozawa, it’s notable for its bright horn section.

Listening to it, I feel each SMAP member’s part really shines.

The chorus sits in a higher range, so it’s best to project your voice into the distance rather than belting too hard.

Try to stay aware of your vocal folds and aim to produce every pitch from that same place.

This is a double A-side single written and composed by Ringo Sheena, released on February 18, 2015.

Created as the theme song for the drama “War of Money” starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, it’s a pop number with an adult vibe, featuring SMAP themselves dancing intensely.

Since the melodies keep coming one after another once the song starts, it’s best to be mindful of your breath placement.

The original range is slightly high, and in the final chorus it modulates and climbs even higher, so try singing with an open face while getting into the rhythm.

Released on December 12, 1992 as an 8cm single, this is SMAP’s classic winter ballad.

With lyrics by Hiromi Mori and music by Koji Makaino, it’s a masterpiece that depicts memories of a former lover and poignant winter scenes.

The song maintains a gentle mood throughout with piano accompaniment.

When singing, it’s best to keep your voice soft rather than belting, as it suits the song’s atmosphere.

Try raising your eyebrows, placing a hand on your chest, and focusing on chest voice—you’ll likely find it easier to sing.

DynamiteSMAP

“Dynamite” is SMAP’s 24th single, and it was used as the theme song for SMAP×SMAP.

It’s a charming number that fuses a playful, up-tempo vibe with the same coolness as “Blue Lightning.” It peaked at No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and sold over 731,000 copies.

Its catchy melody makes it easy to sing and perfect for livening up karaoke.

The key is to sing boldly; if you’re not confident singing it solo, performing it with multiple people will definitely get the crowd going.

BEST FRIENDSMAP

SMAP’s “BEST FRIEND” has a simple melody line that’s easy to sing and makes you want to listen on repeat! The friendship-themed lyrics express gratitude to dear friends and depict bonds that overcome hardships, delivering a message that truly resonates.

If you want to have a great time at karaoke with your close friends or teammates, I highly recommend this song! Its easy-to-remember melody and unifying lyrics will draw empathy and help deepen the bonds among your group.
