Cool songs that will be a hit at karaoke (71–80)
Rusty NailX JAPAN
Among X JAPAN’s songs, this one is relatively easy to sing.
The lyrics, themed around heartbreak and melancholy, express the determination to move forward despite the pain of past wounds.
Released in July 1994, the track reached No.
1 on the Oricon chart and became a major hit, staying on the charts for 20 weeks.
While X JAPAN has many thrash metal-style songs, this work is a comparatively restrained rock number.
It’s characterized by powerful guitar riffs and a dramatic progression, and it features an emotional guitar solo in the middle.
If you sing it at karaoke, the key is to pour your feelings into it.
If you can convey the strong resolve to overcome deep sorrow and despair, it will surely resonate with those around you.
Moechakka FireIssei
A track by Issei that weaves synth sounds with an addictive melody, themed around a cool, detached maid-outfit character.
Released as a character song for the game Zenless Zone Zero, unveiled in July 2024, the piece channels modern people’s craving for approval and their sense of alienation from society, all over a bold, driving beat.
Its alluring low-register vocals—seemingly detached from the music video’s character—leave a strong impression.
How about belting it out at karaoke to express a different side of yourself?
Worth It ft. Kid InkFifth Harmony
This is another song that party people are likely to love.
The key isn’t that high.
It works well with five or six women singing and a man handling the rap parts.
If you often get together for mixed-gender parties, practice it with everyone beforehand—on the day, it’s sure to get the crowd hyped.
Ups&DownsCrystal Lake
A metalcore sound marked by thunderous roars and shouts that resound with overwhelming intensity.
This grand opener of the EP “CUBES” sings of hope and strength rising even in the depths of despair.
Crystal Lake’s signature energetic, powerful approach blends perfectly with a meticulously arranged soundscape.
Featured on the EP “CUBES,” released in August 2014, it has since become a live staple that ignites audiences.
Its expansive, cinematic sound and its powerful message of hope and renewal make it a track that resonates with anyone determined to keep moving forward.
The Fourth Avenue CafeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
It’s a song included on L’Arc-en-Ciel’s mid-period album “True.” People often say every track on this album is a masterpiece, and this is one I personally like among them.
The lyrics are about thinking of a beautiful woman seen at a café, and the tune is refreshing, so it’s well received when I sing it while with a girl.
D.O.D.hide
This is a song from X JAPAN’s hide during his solo career.
D.
O.
D.
stands for “Drink or Die,” which in Japanese means to drink or die.
It’s a crazy track, but since karaoke and alcohol go hand in hand, it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.
The guitar parts are incredibly cool.
planetariumAi Otsuka
From the beginning to the end of the song, the melody is wistful and stirs a sense of longing, but when you sing “Planetarium,” it’s also a song that can really bring a mixer or a wedding’s after-parties (second or third gatherings) to a close, serving as a moment to showcase femininity.
