SolaninNEW!ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Japanese rock music, commonly known as J-rock, dominated the music scene during the Heisei era.
It still enjoys enduring popularity today, but many people particularly love the raw, unpolished sound J-rock had back then.
That’s why I recommend Sorani n.
As everyone knows, it’s a classic hit by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.
The vocal range is fairly narrow at mid1 B to mid2 G#, and aside from the final phrase’s high B#, there are no high passages at all.
Personally, I think even if your pitch wavers on the last line, it can add character—but that might keep you from getting a perfect score.
So if you really can’t belt it, it’s fine to switch to falsetto just to match the pitch.
SoranjiNEW!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a sweeping ballad that powerfully sings of the dignity of humanity and a vast love that refuses to give up hope, even under harsh circumstances.
Its structure is captivating, weaving a subtle tremble of poignant chords into the brightness of the main key.
Beginning with a quiet introduction and modulating upward toward the finale, it creates an overwhelming catharsis, as if a hidden prayer were expanding skyward.
Released as a single by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE in November 2022, it was written as the theme song for the film “From Lageri with Love.” It’s a song I highly recommend for those whose hearts are weary or who want to immerse themselves in music while thinking of someone dear.
cold; curt; blunt; unfriendlyNEW!RADWIMPS

Its beautiful melody and carefully chosen words profoundly move the emotions of those who hear it.
Included on the album “ANTI ANTI GENERATION,” released in December 2018, this song became widely known when it was selected as the theme for the romantic reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf-kun” in August 2020.
If you’re a man looking to captivate women, consider adding it to your karaoke repertoire.
soireeNEW!Hoshimachi Suisei
This work captivates with its exhilarating, fast-paced rock sound.
It was released digitally in advance in December 2022 and included on the masterpiece “Specter,” which went on sale in January 2023.
Suisei Hoshimachi’s clear, soaring high notes resonate beautifully, delivering a festive finish that makes you want to erupt together near the end of a live show.
The song carries a positive theme that moves from the stillness of night toward a hope-filled morning, giving listeners the courage to live fully in the present moment.
It also drew attention for its 2024 collaboration with the game The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage.
It’s a track you’ll want to revisit again and again—one that powerfully supports anyone striving toward their dreams.
leaving earlyNEW!Oyoidakibisu
A song whose gentle, cold-stricken voice nestles close to the heart.
Created by Vocaloid producer Oyoidakibisu, it was released in August 2025.
It’s included on the album “Let’s Snack on Side Paths” and the compilation album “Cough.” A track that resonates with the feeling of trying to take a small step back from everyday burdens.
Its pleasantly indie-pop sound is recommended for when you’re feeling a bit like you’ve got the May blues and want a little break.
I can only say that.NEW!Haku.
Released digitally in September 2025 as Haku.’s first major-label single, this track is killer—right from the intro, the tight, heavy rhythm and distorted guitars rip through with one of the most up-tempo, edgy, and noisy approaches in Haku.’s entire catalog.
It channels inexpressible feelings into a noisy, high-velocity sound that explodes off the track, conveying raw, relatable frustration with piercing clarity.
Later included on the EP “Sekai,” the song features co-arrangement by Kei Kawano, striking a brilliant balance between indie grit and pop sensibility.
It’s a bona fide killer tune packed with the restless urgency of youth—highly recommended for anyone who can’t quite put their swirling emotions into words and feels that lingering haze inside.
aspiration; longing; ardent desireNEW!Fukuyama Masaharu
Sōbō, written as the theme song for the film If Only I Could Meet You Again on the Hill Where That Flower Blooms, is a ballad released digitally by Masaharu Fukuyama in December 2023.
Sung from the perspective of a kamikaze pilot, it embodies prayers for lovers torn apart by the cruel fate of war and for the future of the ones they love.
Fukuyama’s rich, low timbre layered with sweeping strings creates a moving piece that strikes listeners to the core.
Because it portrays universal feelings for someone dear, it’s a heartfelt masterpiece ballad that is sure to captivate those around you when sung earnestly at karaoke.
