[Recommended for people in their 20s] Songs that hype up a karaoke session | From the latest hits to classics (1–10)
Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON
Osaka reggae anthem “Inbakuto.” I think it’s rare for people who were in their 20s to have enjoyed it in real time when it was released, but there are probably many who discovered it through CHEHON’s participation in MC battles.
Although the track is structured with few break points, its vocal range is narrow, so as long as you memorize the lyrics and flow, you should be able to sing it without any issues.
It’s a sure-fire hit for guys’ karaoke, so definitely add it to your repertoire.
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s hit song “Habit.” Many listeners were likely astonished by this track, which departs from their usual fantastical worldview and instead delivers somewhat caustic, realistic lyrics.
As the groove is emphasized throughout, the song sits within a generally standard vocal range for a SEKAI NO OWARI track, from mid1 C to mid2 F.
However, since the highest note (mid2 F) appears fairly frequently, it may be better to lower the key slightly depending on the singer’s range.
While it’s overall on the easier side, there are several rap-like sections, so it’s recommended to firmly memorize the flow that matches the lyrics.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO’s hit song “Ashita mo.” The key change in the chorus feels incredibly satisfying, and thanks to its exhilarating vibe, this J-rock number gained popularity nationwide.
The vocal range is standard, spanning mid1F# to hiC.
The highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, so it’s a song that requires a bit of stamina.
If it feels tough, try lowering the key.
If the lowest notes are hard to hit, you can alternatively shift them up to around mid1G#.
It’s a track that’s sure to hype up any J-rock fan, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

together; along with; bothWANIMA
WANIMA’s hit song “Tomoni.” While many of its lyrics are negative, the chorus suddenly shifts to a highly positive message, and that strong contrast made the track popular with many listeners.
In this piece, the lowest note is mid1 F and the highest is hi C#, which is a relatively wide range for a male vocal song.
However, the hi C# only appears twice in the first verse’s A section; the song is basically structured with hi A# as the top note, so with key adjustment it can be quite singable.
Since it tends to have fewer natural breakpoints, lowering the key by one step from your optimal key may work better when actually singing.
Team friendsChiba Yūki
The release Team Tomodachi sent shockwaves through the hip-hop scene.
It’s an essential work when discussing Japan’s J-trap movement—hugely popular in Japan and it sparked major hype overseas as well.
People in their 20s are the generation that lived through the peak of the MC battle boom.
A lot of them probably became heads from there and were quick to check out this project.
As a trap track, it’s put together with an especially singable flow, so be sure to rap it with your my men!
EdisonSuiyōbi no Campanella
Speaking of Wednesday Campanella since Shiina took over as vocalist, isn’t “Edison” the track that leaves the strongest impression? In this song, the highest note is a hi C#—but that only appears in a few falsetto phrases.
If we look at just the chest voice, it spans from mid2 B to hi A, which is relatively narrow for a female vocal piece.
Thanks to its addictive catchiness and singability striking just the right balance, it’s a song many women will likely want to add to their repertoire.
SAY KOU SHOWRobāto Akiyama
Robert Akiyama’s masterpiece “SAY KOU SHOW.” It’s a relatively recent song, and with its lyrics packed full of dirty jokes, it seems to land better with people in their twenties and up than with teens.
Despite being a comic song, it features a groovy, smooth melody.
The vocal range is narrow and mostly sits in the lower to mid register, so most men can sing it in the original key without trouble.
It’s a song that’s more about expression than technique, so it’s best performed with exaggerated facial expressions in true Akiyama style.
