[For Teens] Hype Karaoke Gag Songs (1–10)
I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan
This track, Suki-cchew no!, which could be considered a sequel to HoneyWorks’ smash hit I’m Sorry, I’m So Cute, once again features voice actor–artist Saori Hayami performing as “Chu-tan.” From the chorus that repeatedly chants the title to the hook that sticks in your head after just one listen, its addictive appeal is fully intact.
At the same time, the midsection is captivating too, revealing the inner conflict you can sense beneath Chu-tan’s confident persona.
When you sing it at karaoke, try fully becoming Chu-tan and deliver it with a deliberately cutesy yet endearing vibe!
Love♡Scream!AiScReam
If you’re a teen who wants to sing a poppy, explosively cute song at karaoke, I highly recommend “Ai♡Scream!” It’s the debut single released in February 2025 by AiScReam, a limited-time unit from the Love Live! series, and just like the title suggests, it’s a love song that’s intensely sweet—like ice cream.
The spoken lines in the middle practically beg for a call-and-response at concerts, and it’s sure to hype up any karaoke session, too.
Honestly, it can even be a hilarious pick for guys to sing with friends on purpose!
Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento
Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.
While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.
That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!

Pig Thunder (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi
Vocaloid producer Yukopi shook the Vocaloid scene.
Known as an exceptionally original creator, their music is surreal and inorganic, yet somehow irresistibly cute—a uniquely intriguing style.
Among Yukopi’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Buta Thunder (feat.
Kaai Yuki).” This piece particularly shines with its cuteness and has been covered by many singers and VTubers.
If your friend’s oshi performs it, the crowd will go wild.
SAY KOU SHOWRobāto Akiyama
Comedian Akiyama from the trio Robert, known for filling living rooms with laughter through his highly original comedy.
He has created many comic songs over the years, but among them, the one that’s especially popular with teens is probably “SAY KOU SHOW,” right? The song is about asking couples how they first met, and the punchline packs such a punch that it leaves a strong impression.
The melody is incredibly catchy too, so it’s sure to be a hit if you sing it at karaoke.
Team friendsChiba Yūki
Since resuming activities under his real name, Yuki Chiba has gone global, with tracks like Mamushi featuring Megan Thee Stallion becoming worldwide viral hits.
His comeback single Team Tomodachi, released in February 2024 to announce his return, not only showcased his undiminished presence with overwhelming impact but also became one of the year’s defining hits in music culture, including its meme-ification online.
Chiba’s rap and simple lyrics, which stick in your head over a minimal track, are perfect for tackling at karaoke together with your “friends.” It’s also recommended for those who normally feel rap isn’t their strong suit!
How Many BoogieFuma no KTR × SKRYU × WAZGOGG
The track “How Many Boogie” is a collaboration between popular rapper SKRYU, WAZGOGG—who’s both a DJ and a prolific trackmaker behind many hits—and Fuma no KTR, a notable young rapper born in 2000.
The song is included on the 2023 EP “Wasuremono.” It went viral through platforms like TikTok right after release, and its music video, created in May of that year, racked up over 25 million views.
The lyrics stand out for their sharp sense of humor that sets them apart from hard-edged, tough-guy rap, while still confidently showing off their position and talent.
The earworm of a track is superb, and the prank-like wake-up line at the beginning is a great touch—try nailing it at karaoke to get the crowd going!
