so gooSweet William & Jinmenusagi
Jinmenusagi started his career as a net rapper.
When people hear “net rapper,” many imagine something inauthentic or think the tracks sound uncool.
However, he shattered those expectations by releasing many highly sophisticated songs.
With him at the forefront, I believe the image of Japanese net rappers has improved tremendously.
His track “so goo” delivers a languid, ennui-tinged rap vibe.
It’s also very easy to sing, so give it a try!
DiplomaTHE BOYS&GIRLS
A rock band based in Sapporo, Hokkaido, THE BOYS & GIRLS.
Let me introduce “Graduation Certificate,” a track from their album Things We Want to Cherish.
Written with the hope that the song would serve as proof of the youth they spent, it pairs intense rock sounds with lyrics that bid farewell to school.
The highlight is how it captures feelings everyone can relate to—anticipation and anxiety about the future.
The music video, which features a performance at a school, is also a helpful reference.

SO YOUNGTHE YELLOW MONKEY
The Yellow Monkey’s “SO YOUNG” is a song about the love of two people who were too young.
Released as a single in 1999, it reached No.
5 on the Oricon Singles Chart and was used as the theme song for the film “trancemission.” Composed in London during an overseas tour and recorded in New York, it’s said to be a particularly special track for Kazuya Yoshii, who wrote the lyrics and music and serves as the vocalist.
The lyrics remind us that “the present exists thanks to the past,” and the melancholic, wistful sound leaves a strong impression.

I’ll be by your side.Uru
This is a digital-only single written and composed by Yuuri, selected as the theme song for ABEMA’s original romance series “We Got Married SEASON 4.” Its clear, soothing vocals are appealing, and the chorus features striking, repeated falsetto leaps.
Released digitally on November 4, 2022, the song gently expresses the feeling of staying close to a partner, making it perfect for couples.
It can also be enjoyed as a wedding song, offering a warm sense of mutual support.
soramimiVaundy
The track “soramimi,” included on the 1st album “strobo.” It’s a memorable number featuring decadent lyrics set to a driving four-on-the-floor beat.
While there are many challenging parts—such as the fast-paced rap sections and the suddenly leaping melodies—it’s catchy, easy to memorize, and sits in a lower key, making it relatively approachable for karaoke.
However, because there are spots with pronounced dynamic shifts, I recommend practicing thoroughly so you don’t miss pitches or lose confidence in your tone.
Such a bitter storyVaundy
A song about a heartrending romance has become popular at karaoke.
It features a luscious melody and lyrics that express the bitterness of love.
It was selected as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating show “Hanataba to Ookami-chan ni wa Damasarenai” and was released in March 2023.
Packed with Vaundy’s distinctive worldview, the track is pop while incorporating synth-pop and electronic elements.
It’s a song that resonates with those who have experienced the complexities and inner conflicts of love.
The key isn’t particularly high overall, and as long as you know where to use falsetto in the chorus, you can sing it comfortably at karaoke!
