KID PHENOMENON from EXILE TRIBE is a dance and vocal group.

They created “Sonzai Shōmei” (“Proof of Existence”) as the ending theme for the second cour of the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.

It’s a fast-paced dance track with a message that conveys the beauty of life.

With a substantial number of rap sections, it leaves a very powerful impression.

The dance performance is also a highlight, so be sure to check out the music video.

MAN WITH A MISSION × milet “Kizuna no Kiseki” Music Video

Kizuna no Kiseki, the opening theme selected for the hugely popular anime Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc.

Its cool sound, featuring arrangements with traditional Japanese instruments like shamisen and taiko, captivates not only anime-loving kids but adults as well.

It’s a fast-paced rock tune that fuses MAN WITH A MISSION’s hard-hitting sound with milet’s distinctive vocals.

Channel the protagonist who fights alongside comrades and works miracles, and ride the momentum to sing it with style!

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite” (M-1 Grand Prix 2024 Promotion Video Theme Song)

This song, whose chorus is incredibly catchy and sticks in your head, is “Rewrite” by the rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.

It was the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist—an action-packed series that’s also heartrending and brings you to tears.

It’s an undeniably cool rock tune!

New EraAdo

[Ado] New Genesis (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)

Since her debut in 2020, Ado has consistently commanded attention, and with her 2022 announcement of a global expansion, even greater success is anticipated for the female singer.

New Genesis, written as the theme song for the animated film ONE PIECE FILM RED, dominated charts both in Japan and abroad, becoming a massive hit with a total of 100 crowns.

Beyond the anime’s popularity, her powerful vocals and emotional melodies have resonated with a wide range of listeners.

It’s a high-energy track that gets everyone hyped at year-end and New Year parties, regardless of generation.

Odoru Pompoko RinB.B. Queens

Odoru Pompokolin is the debut single by B.B. Queens.

There’s also an E-girls version, but for year-end or New Year parties with an older crowd, deliberately going with the B.

B.

Queens version is the key to evoking nostalgia.

It’s a song everyone—from adults to kids—knows and can sing along to, so let’s have everyone at the venue join in and enjoy singing together.

only my railgunfripSide

only my railgun -version2020-

For anime fans, this might be a classic crowd-pleaser.

It’s the smash-hit number used as the opening theme for the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, which is based on a light novel.

It’s one of fripSide’s signature songs, released as their second single in 2009.

An aggressive electronic tune that really gets you pumped as you listen.

The intensity of the melody line is great, too.

Highly recommended as a fun pick for karaoke.

My First KissReassured Dad

My First Kiss Chu – Anshin Papa

It’s a song that even older gentlemen will enjoy.

For Kiteretsu Daihyakka’s ‘Hajimete no Chuu,’ I think doing a blown-kiss gesture at the ‘chu’ part will really hype up the crowd.

If you want to power through with energy, I recommend the cover version by the rock band Hi-STANDARD.
