[AKASAKI] Predator (Lyric Video)

Starting her career as a singer-songwriter at the young age of 16, AKASAKI skyrocketed to fame when her 2024 release “Bunny Girl” became a massive viral hit.

Her songs, woven from the fresh sensibility unique to a teenager, a mature perspective, and outstanding songwriting talent, are all remarkable—so much so that not only her peers but also working adults in their 20s and beyond will find themselves wanting to sing them at karaoke.

The same goes for “Predator,” released in May 2025: it’s a killer tune that showcases AKASAKI’s signature taste, deftly blending a J-pop vibe reminiscent of the early Heisei era with a stylish, 2020s feel.

Its catchy hook will have you humming along after just one listen.

When singing it at karaoke, try delivering it lightly without overexerting, but avoid sounding too flat—be mindful of your breathing spots and aim for a smooth, flowing performance!

Gimigimic

The track “Gimi Gimmick,” included on “RADWIMPS 4: Okazu no Gohan,” is a quintessential gem of the late 2000s Japanese rock scene, marked by a strikingly arresting guitar riff in the intro.

Despite being a short song of about two and a half minutes, its overall technically intricate ensemble really stands out.

By Noda’s standards, the vocals aren’t particularly fast, and the range is fairly average and not especially wide, so try singing it while locking into its rhythmic groove.

Bunny GirlAKASAKI

【AKASAKI】Bunny Girl – Natural（Music Video）

As one of the songs that went viral in 2024, many people will surely remember “Bunny Girl.” The talent of AKASAKI, who created this track at the young age of a high school student, is truly remarkable, and I’m sure there are people practicing it to add this masterpiece by a young artist to their karaoke repertoire.

The use of 7th chords that pops up throughout is stylish, and while it may sound understated at first, the melody line is actually very catchy and easy to remember, with no extreme high notes—so even those who struggle with high pitches should find it easy to sing.

Try approaching it at karaoke with a slightly cool, playfully suave vibe, and you’ll do great!

ALL I WANTYurina Hirate

Yurina Hirate 'ALL I WANT' Music Video

Yurina Hirate’s hit song “ALL I WANT.” Among her recent releases, this track has been a particularly big success, so I imagine many people discovered her solo work through this song.

The melody has a slightly Heisei-era feel, and the rap-like vocal parts especially evoke artists like Kana Nishino and Miliyah Kato from the 2010s.

Because there are relatively few rests, the breathing can be a bit tricky, but the range is low and the melodic movement is gentle, making it a song that’s definitely easy to score highly on.

Hana-Yoi – Jewel (MV)

Noshi is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her genreless musicality that incorporates a wide range of music styles.

She always energizes the scene with unconventional tracks, and her new song “Pink Punch” has also drawn attention for its eccentricity.

It features a slightly funky track, while the vocal lines come together with a vibe reminiscent of rock and Chinese pop.

With almost no sustained long notes and no demanding vocal techniques required, it’s a very easy song to sing.

Friends' SongZUKA-RADERU

Zookaraderu “Tomodachi no Uta” (Official Music Video)

Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni.

? No, the band Zukkadareru—highly regarded among hardcore Japanese rock enthusiasts.

Rather than chasing sales with trend-driven tracks, they stick to the music they truly want to make, which has earned them enduring popularity among rock fans.

Among their songs, one that’s especially celebrated as a masterpiece is Tomodachi no Uta (A Friend’s Song).

While the piece is captivating for its emotionally rich vocals, the surprising thing is that the vocal line itself has a narrow range and rarely jumps abruptly in pitch.

It also works perfectly well with a bold, forceful singing style that’s the complete opposite of delicacy, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Tomonari Sora – “Bergamot” [Lyric Video]

When it comes to popular artists with deep voices, many people probably think of Sora Tomonari first.

Among Tomonari’s songs, the one I especially recommend as easy for men to sing is Bergamot.

The piece is primarily built around low and lower-mid ranges, with occasional higher phrases.

The pitch movement isn’t particularly drastic, and there’s no need to belt, so even when a slightly higher part appears, you should be able to glide through it smoothly.
