Cool songs that will hit at karaoke (121–130)

Whimsical RomanticIkimonogakari

It’s a lively, well-known song among men and women in their 20s and 30s—a karaoke classic.

Plus, when you pick it at karaoke, the music video often plays, so everyone can watch the choreography and copy it together.

You could say it’s the perfect song to get the crowd hyped.

Because it’s so warm (aww)tardigrade

Tardigrade – Because it's so warm♪
Because it's so warm—Kumamushi

Known for its mysterious lyric, “I’ll give you a special soup,” the song ‘Attakaiin Dakara~’ is performed by the one-hit-wonder comedy duo Kumamushi as part of their routine, and the lyrics are packed with comedic elements.

Pick it at karaoke and you’re guaranteed to get laughs.

Let the cherry blossoms bloomstorm

When you want to liven things up at karaoke without ruffling any feathers, Arashi—boasting the highest TV appearance rate—are undeniably strong.

Beyond their name recognition, their songs are very easy to listen to with great melodies, and they don’t require much vocal skill, making them triple-threat classics.

This sounds cool no matter who listens to it.

It’s set in a lower key, so it’s perfect for male singers.

It’s a slow R&B-style ballad.

As expected from Ken Hirai, his mature allure is truly mesmerizing.

If you like Western music, definitely give it a listen.

Step by StepTVXQ (also known as Tohoshinki; literally “Rising Gods of the East”)

It’s K-pop, but the overall vibe is a super stylish Western pop sound.

Since the lyrics are in Japanese, even people who aren’t good at English will find it easy to sing.

I can imagine five or six high school boys singing it together and having a blast.

It’s also fun to talk about who should do the rap parts, and stuff like that.

Life-sized Love Song Aqua Timez

A smash-hit song by Aqua Timez whose slightly idiosyncratic singing style is, quite literally, addictive.

I remember it being played a lot at weddings for a while.

The long build-up to the chorus creates a nice sense of anticipation, which I think also makes it well-suited for karaoke.

She herself sang it in the movie NANA.

I’m sure many girls admired her.

I’m one of them, and this is a song for those who want to be a cool woman.

It has a rock vibe, but it’s refreshing and I think men will find it easy to sing as well.
