Kana Nishino 'Torisetsu' MV (Short Ver.)

The lyrics are like an instruction manual for how to handle a girl, and everything about it—the words and the melody—is just unbelievably cute.

If you sing this in front of guys and it helps them understand how girls feel, that would be perfect.

I think it’s a song that’s sure to make you popular if you sing it at karaoke.

Star Lablationkerakera

Kerakera – Star Liberation

This is Star Love Ration by Kerakera, the theme song for the Fuji TV drama Last Cinderella.

The title is Kerakera’s original coined word combining “star” (sparkle), “love” (romance), and “vibration” (heartbeat).

Just like the title, it’s a love song that cheers on sparkling, heart-throbbing romance.

I love you!Little Glee Monster

Little Glee Monster 'I Love You.' -Short Ver.-

A hugely popular song by the female group Little Glee Monster, known for their strong vocals and beautiful harmonies.

It’s a bright track that wholeheartedly sings about the feeling of “I like you.” As an upbeat, lively song, it’s a lot of fun to sing at karaoke.

Blue JeansHANA

HANA / Blue Jeans -Music Video-

Produced by Chanmina, HANA is one of today’s most talked-about girl groups.

When their debut single “ROSE” was released in April 2025, it topped the Billboard JAPAN Hot 100.

Among HANA’s songs, the one I especially recommend is their second single—the group’s first mid-tempo ballad love song.

The highlight of this track is, above all, its lyrical world.

You want to stay true to yourself like a pair of well-worn jeans, yet in front of the person you like, your confidence falters and jealousy creeps in.

It paints a picture of those bittersweet late-night feelings of love.

Many listeners will likely relate to the anxious thought of not knowing when you’ll see each other next.

It’s a stylish and emotional piece that also features a collaboration with the casual brand DIESEL.

miwa “Miracle -short ver.-”

This is miwa’s 11th single, “Miracle.” It’s a song written specifically for a Shiseido SEA BREEZE commercial, and even through the TV screen you could feel the sparkling expressions of summer.

Let’s sing while thinking of the radiant face of the one you love!

Golden Bomber “Memeshikute” Music Video

Golden Bomber, who had appeared on the Kouhaku every year until last year.

Their debut song has choreography that really gets the crowd going at karaoke, so I always pick it.

If you listen closely from a man’s perspective, the lyrics are thought-provoking too, and I think it’s a really great song.

hummingIkuta Rira

Rira Ikuta “Humming” Official Music Video

Although Rira Ikuta is known for her captivating high notes, Humming is, as the title suggests, a song you sing in a relaxed, humming style.

There isn’t much movement up and down in pitch, so I think it’s easy to sing.

Since there’s humming in the intro, I’d love for you to join in.

When you relax and hum, it becomes much easier to stay on pitch, and your vocal cords resonate properly rather than singing from the throat.

The trick is to take in plenty of air through your mouth and let it bounce lightly! One thing to watch out for is that if you end up making sound from your throat, your singing voice will stay throaty.

So, make a surprised expression and let the resonance lightly buzz between your eyebrows.

If you open your mouth just a little, the resonance will more easily travel to the area between your eyebrows.

The key is to keep it light and effortless, without tension.

The higher the notes get, the more breath you need, so it’s important to inhale and exhale for each phrase!
