In 2018, it was also used in a JR East corporate commercial, and the following year it ranked second in the “Job-Hunting Theme Song Ranking.” It’s a quintessentially Sambomaster, powerful punk rock track, with passionate, inspiring lyrics that cheer on those giving their all.
It’s definitely a song I’d love for students to sing together with friends as a breather during their job hunt!

When you think of BiSH, the idol group with the concept of a “punk band without instruments,” their signature song is definitely Orchestra.
It’s a track included on their 2016 album KiLLER BiSH, which reached No.

It’s a grand, fast-paced rock tune that showcases each member’s uniquely distinctive vocals.

It’s guaranteed to get the karaoke crowd fired up!
Don't give upZARD
The song I definitely want exam-takers to sing at karaoke is ZARD’s “Makenaide” (“Don’t Give In”).
In a 2018 ranking by Karaoke JOYSOUND of “songs that give you courage when you feel anxious about exams,” it placed first among people in their 30s and older and second among those in their 20s and older.
Even 25 years after its 1993 release, it remains an uplifting anthem loved by a wide range of generations.
If you hit a wall in your exam studies, take the plunge and go to karaoke—sing “Makenaide” together and give yourselves a refreshing break!

It’s tough to sing together, but everyone will hype it up by doing their own style of the Running Man.
Goodbye ElegyMasaki Suda
The theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kiss That Kills” is Masaki Suda’s “Sayonara Elegy.” In the 2019 mid-year karaoke rankings, it placed 3rd on DAM (Tsushin Karaoke) and 4th on JOYSOUND.
It’s a fast-paced number with poignant lyrics and Suda’s gripping, intense vocals as its appeal.
The melody doesn’t have extreme highs and lows, so it’s relatively easy to sing—definitely try belting it out with everyone.
The chorus, in particular, feels great!
