Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, who can fairly be called the reigning champions of the Reiwa-era J-POP charts.
Every song they release becomes a hit, they boast an overwhelming number of listeners, and they’re wildly popular at karaoke.
That said, given their exceptional songwriting sense, meticulously crafted ensemble, and melodies spanning a wide vocal range delivered by Mr.
Omori’s incredible vocals, it’s honestly not easy to sing their songs well.
With that in mind, Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024, falls into the relatively easy-to-sing category.
Its lyrics—also serving as the theme song for the film Saint Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men vs.
the Demon Army—are highly relatable and are sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Just be aware that there’s a brief section of irregular meter in the middle, but once you’ve got the overall flow down, you’ll be able to sing it smoothly.
Yes, with pleasure.Kent on this side
Rather than gravely lamenting how hard it is to live in modern society, Hai Yorokonde packs in a humorous sensibility and a string of irresistibly catchy, TikTok-ready phrases, making it one of 2024’s defining hits.
The multitalented Kocchino Kento also performed this song at that year’s NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, cementing his nationwide recognition—a fresh memory for many.
While showcasing the vocal prowess he honed through a cappella, the distinctive humor and the melodies and lyrics that stick in your head after a single listen, as mentioned above, make the song a surefire crowd-pleaser at karaoke across generations.
The rapid-fire passages do take some getting used to, but if you struggle to keep up, focus on practicing the tricky parts and memorize them well enough to sing without looking at the lyrics—you may be surprised how smoothly it comes together.
EdisonWednesday Campanella
Speaking of Wednesday Campanella since Shiina took over as vocalist, isn’t “Edison” the track that leaves the strongest impression? In this song, the highest note is a hi C#—but that only appears in a few falsetto phrases.
If we look at just the chest voice, it spans from mid2 B to hi A, which is relatively narrow for a female vocal piece.
Thanks to its addictive catchiness and singability striking just the right balance, it’s a song many women will likely want to add to their repertoire.
Sounds goodM!LK
This is a M!LK song filled with a positive message about embracing your true self just as you are.
Set to an upbeat, forward-looking track, the warm vocals gently envelop the anxieties and worries everyone carries, resonating deeply with the listener.
Released in February as an advance single from the album “M!Ⅹ,” which is slated for March 2025, the song builds a world brimming with positive energy alongside a refined dance performance that highlights each member’s individuality.
It’s the perfect track for moments when your self-confidence wavers or when you want to give someone a supportive nudge.
It also shines at karaoke—sing it with feeling, and it becomes a wonderful song that stays close to the listener’s heart.
NO MONEY DANCEYabai T-Shirts Yasan
Even when your wallet’s feeling tight, this track will get your body moving before you know it! It’s a super upbeat song by Yabai T-Shirts Yasan, with lyrics that are a raw cry of “I want money,” delivered over an insanely catchy rock sound—honestly, it’s the best.
It’s included on the album “You need the Tank-top,” released in September 2020.
Perfect for those times when you’re broke but still want to get hyped at karaoke!
Love♡Scream!AiScReam
As the title suggests, this is a super sweet, overwhelmingly cute number you can binge on! AiScReam is a limited-time voice actor unit born from “Love Live! Series All Night Nippon GOLD,” and their debut single, released in January 2025, is this track: “Ai♡Screeeam!” Right after its release, it blew up on TikTok and other social media, becoming a full-on internet meme.
It’s shaping up to be one of 2025’s signature viral hits, so you should definitely try singing it at karaoke while it’s hot.
LOVE＆JOYYuki Kimura
A single packed with the exhilarating appeal of Eurobeat! Yuki Kimura’s clear, soaring vocals fuse perfectly with Daisuke Asakura’s energetic production to create a high-speed dance track.
Riding a BPM of 173, its bright, forward-looking message evokes a moving sensation, as if a rainbow were arcing across the listener’s heart.
Released in July 2000, the song captured many hearts as the theme for the TV drama “Daisuke Hanamura.” It reached No.
24 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and achieved total sales of 116,000 copies.
Perfect as BGM for highway or mountain-pass drives, it’s also ideal when you need a boost for a tired spirit.
Grip the wheel and set off on a special musical journey to this rhythm.
