GaraGara GO!!NEW!BIGBANG
Released on July 8, 2009, it’s a party tune known for its addictive hook and great groove.
It’s their signature song in Japan, the one that won them the Best New Artist Award at the 51st Japan Record Awards that same year.
When it comes to BIGBANG’s hype tracks, I’d say “Gara Gara GO!!” fits the bill! It’s got good rhythm, and the melody isn’t too difficult, so it should be easy to sing.
Of course, since it’s a group song, it can get pretty busy if you sing it solo… Still, with its chorus and call-and-response parts, it’s a great pick for karaoke.
Try singing it with your whole body grooving and go all out!
WillNEW!ive
This is IVE’s first full-fledged anime tie-in and their first Japan-original song in about 11 months, released in 2024.
It’s a pop track packed with excitement, sparkle, and IVE-like themes of self-love and strength that align with the TV anime Pokémon.
There are bits of English lyrics here and there, but it’s not difficult, and the abundant chorus parts make it easy to get into the groove.
When singing, rather than belting in chest voice, it’s better to keep it light with a head-voice feel.
MisterNEW!KARA
This is the single that marked their Japan debut and explosively boosted their popularity in 2010.
The “hip dance,” where you shake your hips side to side, became a social phenomenon and helped ignite the K-pop boom.
When K-pop first started getting popular, everyone around me was getting excited about it, too.
The melody is very catchy and the lyrics are simple, so it should be easy to sing at karaoke.
The vocal range isn’t that high, so you can relax your shoulders and sing.
However, the key changes in the last chorus and the range goes a bit higher, so be careful not to tense up there.
PiTaPaNEW!Rocket Punch
This is an original Japanese track featuring a sparkling pop sound, included on their first full-length Japanese album “Dokidoki LOVE,” released on October 5, 2022.
It’s a bright, energetic dance number that sings about a girl in love.
The second verse includes rap-style vocals, and the latter part features English lyrics, letting you enjoy various melodies and vocal approaches.
The song’s range is slightly on the higher side, so it might be good to sing with consistent head resonance.
I recommend singing with a relaxed, loose feel.
CALL CALL CALL!NEW!SEVENTEEN
This is their Japanese debut track, featuring a driving, exhilarating sound and addictive, phone-themed lyrics.
The energetic performance has generated buzz, and it’s a fan favorite at concerts.
When you listen, your energy shoots up and your body starts moving on its own.
The overall vocal range is A2–C5, which is on the higher side for many male singers, so adjusting the key could help.
For hitting high notes, the keys are breath support and quick vocal attack, plus keeping the throat open.
Be mindful of these while singing, relax your shoulders as much as possible, and keep it rhythmic—you’ll likely find it much easier to sing.
TTNEW!Twice
It’s the lead track from the mini-album “TWICEcoaster: LANE 1,” released on October 24, 2016.
The “TT pose,” where you make a crying face with your fingers inspired by the “(T_T)” emoji, became a worldwide trend on social media, and its popularity was reported by outlets like Oricon News and SPICE.
It’s a catchy pop song that expresses the bittersweet feelings of a girl troubled by love.
For many people, TWICE is synonymous with K-pop.
It’s also fun to do the “TT pose” together while singing it at karaoke! The song isn’t too difficult, so if you follow the lyrics closely, you’ll pick up the melody in no time.
Swaying -Flower of Destiny-NEW!ZEROBASEONE
A nine-member K-pop group formed from the audition show “BOYS PLANET.” Their name signifies a free journey from 0 to 1 and a brilliant beginning; the abbreviation is “ZB1,” pronounced “Ze-be-wan.” Composed of multinational members who debuted in 2023, they are said to have a fixed activity period of about two and a half years.
In March 2024, they made their Japan debut with the single “Yura Yura -Unmei no Hana-,” achieving the highest first-week sales ever for an overseas artist.
The song itself feels very catchy and easy to sing.
Be sure to enjoy singing along as you groove to the rhythm.
