The beginning of the worldDomoto Koichi
This track is defined by a grand, uplifting sound that hints at the dawn of a new world.
Its powerful beat and dramatic arrangement intertwine to deliver a sense of exhilaration, as if you’re watching the opening of a fantasy film.
Featured as the lead track on the sixth album “RAISE,” released in September 2025, it’s the kind of song that gives you strength when you’re starting something new or need to reset and move forward.
A powerful pop number that rings with hope for the future.
the same as…ONE OK ROCK
There’s a rock ballad that sings of an unchanging bond with a loved one and hope for the future.
Even as time passes and circumstances change, the universal message that the feelings for the other person remain the same strikes a chord with listeners.
The sentimental lyrics—mingling anticipation for the future with a touch of loneliness—are gently yet powerfully conveyed by vocalist Taka’s emotional voice, making this a classic.
The song is included on their sixth album, Jinsei×Boku=, released in March 2013.
It’s also well known for having been written as the theme song for the film Good Morning Everyone! (G’mor Evian!), starring Yo Oizumi and Kumiko Aso.
When you think of family or friends who live far away, listening to this track will warm your heart.
It’s a talisman-like song that quietly gives you a nudge as you take a new step forward.
The Magic of HalloweenTsuchiya Anna
This slightly mature rock number comes from Anna Tsuchiya—who is active as both a model and an actress.
Her husky, powerful vocals vividly portray a bewitching yet beautiful nocturnal world where vampires gather.
The track is included on her October 2014 mini-album “LUCIFER,” released to mark the 10th anniversary of her solo debut.
Since the title track was used in a commercial for the horror game “The Evil Within,” she also performed it live at the album’s release event.
If run-of-the-mill songs don’t do it for you and you want to immerse yourself in a true gothic horror atmosphere, this is the perfect choice for the night.
The SEAkinoko teikoku
This is a track included on the mini-album “Uzu ni Naru” (Becoming a Vortex).
The opening vocals, the guitar arpeggios that come in, and the rhythm section—all are composed with a minimal number of sounds.
Before you know it, you’ll find yourself drawn into its musical world.
The RumblingSiM
An awe-inspiring metalcore sound that brilliantly captures the world of Attack on Titan.
Amid the intense roar woven by heavy guitar riffs and powerful vocals, the protagonist’s inner conflict and resolve are vividly portrayed.
The lyrics convey a desire to protect loved ones while avoiding violence, and a determination to move forward even after losing everything.
Featured as the opening theme for the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2 from January 2022, the track also reached No.
1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.
A highly recommended song for those who want to experience SiM’s signature heavy sonic textures and profound message.
Shine in the Cruel NightLiSA
This is the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle Arc Part 1: Akaza’s Return, released on July 19, 2025, and it’s a rock ballad that’s very characteristic of LiSA.
Since it’s a song from the hugely popular Demon Slayer series, many people are likely to know it! Singing it at karaoke could spark conversations about the movie and get everyone excited beyond just the music! The overall vocal range is F3–F5, which is quite wide and should be a very comfortable key for teenage girls.
While the song has some darker tones, that helps it connect with the story, making the lyrics easier to convey.
If you sing the chorus carefully, one phrase at a time, it’s easier to tap into the emotion and it feels great to sing! It’s on the longer side, but try enjoying it as if it contains many songs within one—have fun while you sing!
The truthKamenashi Kazuya
It’s a song released in August 2025, and amazingly, it’s their first solo track in about two years! Listening to it, the range centers around low-mid to high-mid, so it might feel a bit high for those not used to higher notes.
That said, the melody is simple with no particularly difficult parts, and the chorus repeats the same phrase, making it very easy to remember.
For singing style: deliver the verse (A section) in a spoken, unforced way without belting; in the pre-chorus (B section), there’s a spot that rises to D4—accenting that part will let the notes come out nicely! In the chorus, there’s a small leap from C4 to A4—hit that confidently as an accent! The range should be relatively comfortable for the average male singer, and with its rock feel, it should be really satisfying to sing.
It’s a passionate theme, so definitely give it a try!
