A roundup of easy-to-sing Southern All Stars karaoke songs (1–10)
Love Boogie-Woogie NightSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars is a band that has continued to be supported by a wide range of people for decades.
They’ve kept releasing hit songs consistently, so even younger listeners are likely familiar with them.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Koi no Boogie Woogie Night.” It has a charmingly retro vibe—like a mix of synth-pop and disco—and the vocal lines are kept simple, reminiscent of older songs.
If you’re aiming for a perfect score, be sure to check it out.
HOTEL PACIFICSazan Ōrusutāzu
As a dance track to liven up the atmosphere, I’d like to introduce “HOTEL PACIFIC.” This song was written specifically for an event planned by Southern All Stars, and its appeal lies in a sound that blends Latin music with rock.
Matching its rugged tone, the vocals convey a passionate impression.
However, the tempo itself isn’t particularly fast, so you should be able to belt it out.
Perfect for those moments when you want everyone to sing together and have a lively time.
Suddenly, SinbadSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars’ debut single, the song that made their name echo across the country, is “Katte ni Shindobaddo” (“Sinbad at Your Pleasure”).
It’s a powerful track that evokes a summer carnival.
Even now, it’s beloved by many as a classic summer anthem.
Its biggest hallmark is its highly distinctive sense of tempo.
Just when you think it’s slow, the vocals turn rapid-fire, and there are occasional pauses—so tackle it with care.
And of course, those call-and-response shouts that get everyone pumped are a real highlight, so be sure to join in.

My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
A classic song that’s indispensable when talking about Southern All Stars is Itoshi no Ellie.
It was their third single and their first ballad.
It’s also known for being used in a hugely popular TV drama and for winning music awards.
Since the lyrics tenderly sing about love, it’s perfect for anyone looking for a timeless love song.
Overall, it’s easy to sing, but there are parts where the rhythm changes and can be hard to catch.
So it might be good to go over those sections repeatedly.
The sun is a sinful guy.Sazan Ōrusutāzu
The exhilarating summer song “Taiyo wa Tsumi na Yatsu” is also recommended.
It’s a track about summer love and that bubbly, excited feeling.
Fittingly, the melody is arranged in an up-tempo style.
Another hallmark of this song is that it incorporates a lot of English.
So be sure to check the pronunciation carefully as you sing.
By the way, the Japanese parts are set just a little higher in key, so it should suit both those who struggle with low notes and those who struggle with high notes.
BLUE HEAVENSazan Ōrusutāzu
It’s a song packed with the full charm of Southern All Stars! Amid its graceful, calm atmosphere, Keisuke Kuwata’s vocals, singing of the fragility of love and life, truly resonate in the heart.
Released as a single in November 1997, it was also used in a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial.
It’s included on the albums “Sakura” and “Ballad 3 ~the album of LOVE~,” making it a great recommendation when you want to relax and enjoy music.
If you sing it at karaoke with feeling, it will surely warm the hearts of those around you.
Ya Ya (I Won’t Forget That Time)Sazan Ōrusutāzu
Many of you probably go to karaoke with longtime companions and friends.
A song I’d like to recommend is “Ya Ya (Ano Jidai wo Wasurenai).” It’s a bittersweet ballad whose lyrics portray the beautiful memories of youth and the longing that comes with them.
Singing it might spark a lively trip down memory lane.
The tempo is relaxed and it’s easy to sing, but there are English lyrics and a few high notes.
Try focusing your practice on those two points!
