A moving song about the bond between parents and children and the love of family, created through a collaboration between MISIA and HIDE from GReeeeN.
Released in August 2018, it was also used as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues.” With simple yet heartfelt lyrics woven together with MISIA’s overwhelming vocal power, this track is perfect for women in their 30s who want to liven up a karaoke session.
It’s an ideal choice for get-togethers with childhood friends or classmates, or for wedding after-parties—adding a special touch to time spent with loved ones.
Sing it together, and it will surely become a wonderful memory.
travelingUtada Hikaru
It was released in 2001 as Hikaru Utada’s ninth single.
Created under the concept of an “energy-boosting song,” it was used as the CM song for NTT DoCoMo’s FOMA.
The innovative music video—featuring extensive CGI and animation by her then-husband, Kazuaki Kiriya—became a hot topic, and the song is fun to sing along to.
Ride on timeMAX
Released in 1998 as MAX’s 10th single.
It’s a Latin-style dance number produced by Terukazu Yokoyama and was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s Monday drama “Sweet Devil.” The song won the Excellence Award at the 40th Japan Record Awards, was performed at the 49th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and features a chorus that everyone can dance to.
AM11:00HY
Many people in their thirties probably grew up listening to HY during their youth.
Just hearing HY’s signature song “AM11:00” gets you hyped from the intro.
Back then, lots of people even used it as their mobile ringtone.
It’s also a popular karaoke staple, and for those in their thirties, it’s truly a song that brings back the feeling of youth.
Singing it as a male-female duet makes it even more exciting.
DESIRE -Passion-Nakamori Akina
It was released in 1986 as Akina Nakamori’s 14th single.
It became her first song tied to a commercial, being featured in a Pioneer audio equipment ad.
The bob wig and high heels, along with a Western-styled kimono outfit, drew a lot of attention at the time.
It’s a song that really hypes up the crowd if you sing it with the distinctive choreography.
Silent majorityKeyakizaka46
Released in April 2016 as a debut single, this track’s greatest appeal lies in its powerful message that goes beyond conventional idol songs.
The lyrics question conformity and the loss of individuality, emphasizing the importance of speaking up, and they resonate with the everyday frustrations we all feel.
Its edgy dance-rock sound and commanding performance are stunning—and it’s the kind of song that naturally fires you up at karaoke.
It was also featured in a commercial for the fashion app “Mechakari.” With a relatively compact vocal range and an easy-to-remember melody line, it’s perfect for singing with friends.
A highly recommended track when you want everyone to raise their voices together and get hyped!
Mela!Ryokushokushakai
A song I definitely want women to sing when they want to pump things up is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s “Mela!”.
The range is on the higher side (G#3–F5), so it’s recommended for those who are good with high notes.
Many people practice this song in vocal training, and with practice you can definitely master it! You’ll probably want the high notes in the chorus to come out more powerfully than in falsetto.
Start by practicing with falsetto, then gradually strengthen that sound.
Raise your facial muscles and eyebrows, and focus on resonating in the same spot at all times; keep the same awareness when switching between chest voice and falsetto.
Stay relaxed, place the accent as far forward as possible, and project your voice clearly!
