You are the Best aroundJoe Esposito
The classic song “You’re the Best Around,” released in 1984 by Joe Esposito, gained popularity as the theme song for the film “The Karate Kid,” which came out the same year.
Many people may know it from the 2010 remake by Jaden Smith, the son of Jackie Chan and Will Smith.
Its lyrics, which match the film’s themes, are memorable for their bold encouragement to “do your best!” It seems to have become established as a celebratory song overseas.
Your Favorite PlaceJoey Pecoraro
Joey Pecoraro, a rising beatmaker from Detroit, USA, boasts exceptional recognition and popularity in the lo-fi hip-hop scene.
Though he originally played guitar in a metal band—an unusual background for this genre—he later discovered J Dilla and Nujabes, which led him to start making beats.
In 2021, he released his long-awaited second album, “Old Time Radio,” showcasing various musical experiments.
Among Joey’s tracks, this time I’d like to introduce the classic “Old Time Radio,” released in 2018.
It was also included on the Japan-exclusive lo-fi hip-hop compilation “Chillhop Radio: Beats to Relax to,” released in 2019—a beautifully nostalgic piece that truly embodies the core of the genre.
Incidentally, the footage used in the featured video is from the film “The Premature Burial,” directed by the one and only Roger Corman.
You’re the VoiceJohn Farnham
A male singer who represents Australia and enjoys nationwide fame.
Active on the front lines since the 1960s, his soaring high notes have shown no signs of fading with age.
His 1986 release “You’re the Voice” not only became a massive hit but is also a classic that has been covered by many artists, including David Foster and Heart.
You & IJohn Legend
A tastefully crafted song suffused with sorrow and wistfulness naturally brings tears to your eyes.
It’s a deeply moving, cry-your-heart-out track by John Legend, where the grand message and high-level vocal approach truly shine.
Since it’s in English, be sure to pay attention to the lyrics and look them up.

You Deserve It AllJohn Legend
Here comes a heartwarming song by John Legend, filled with the warmth and love of Christmas.
Featuring lyrics brimming with gratitude and affection and a soothing melody, this piece was released in November 2021.
Created to celebrate his new deal with Republic Records, the song aims to enhance the gift-giving season’s atmosphere and spread holiday cheer.
Co-written with Meghan Trainor and produced by Raphael Saadiq, it’s a perfect choice for men who want to sing a Christmas song at karaoke or for anyone wishing to express appreciation to someone special.
You’re Gonna Live Forever in MeJohn Mayer
An emotional piano ballad by American singer-songwriter and guitarist John Mayer.
It was included on the 2017 EP “The Search for Everything: Wave One.” The EP was a hit in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Denmark.
You’re the One That I WantJohn Travolta And Olivia Newton John
For many of you in the generation that can’t help but gaze off into the distance and think, “Those were the days,” this song is surely a karaoke staple.
It’s a duet by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, who each starred in the film Grease, and it’s a really fun number used in a memorable scene.
The subtle differences between the male and female perspectives make it all the more interesting.
Released in May 1978, it became a hit around the world.
I definitely recommend singing it as a male-female pair, but watching the movie first will help you understand the context of the lyrics and make it easier to sing.
Don’t try to sing it perfectly—if each of you fully becomes your character from the film, it’s guaranteed to bring the house down!
