Machigai Sagashi is captivating for its heartrending lyrics.
Masaki Suda’s song has an emotional vibe that really shines at karaoke.
The beautiful accompaniment centered on piano and strings is a key element that elevates the track.
Add an expressive vocal on top, and you can instantly create a soothing, pleasant atmosphere.
It’s also a great song for subtly showing off your vocal skills.

This song was written specifically for an ANA commercial.
Its lyrics, which reject society’s prescribed “rightness” and conventional wisdom, are infused with a strong will to spread your own wings and soar freely into the future—like an anthem for taking a bold first step.
Released by King Gnu in August 2019, the track reached No.
3 on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts and is a song that gives a push to anyone facing a challenge.
If you can casually pull off this piece at karaoke—with its distinctive rhythm and interweaving high notes—you’ll definitely earn some serious respect.
1.15 Million Kilometers of FilmOfficial HIGE DANDism
The song “115 Million Kilometer Film,” whose lyrics liken days spent with a loved one to movie film, strikes a chord.
It was included on Escaparade, the album released in 2018 by Official HIGE DANDism, a band leading the J-pop scene.
Over a sound with a jazzy vibe, rhythmic vocals unfold.
The lyrics honestly express the feelings of today’s youth, conveying a message that is both heartrending and heartwarming.
Because the song spans a wide vocal range, it’s a good idea to practice it in parts.
Try singing with attention to how you place accents and to the moments where you showcase high notes.
ChronostasisMushroom Empire
When it comes to a cool track that conjures the image of two people strolling slowly down a night road, Chronostasis comes to mind.
It’s known as a signature song of Kinoko Teikoku, a band indispensable to any discussion of Japanese shoegaze and alternative rock.
The band’s performance, highlighting dreamy guitar and synth tones, creates an urban atmosphere.
The key is to sing in a relaxed state, matching the laid-back rhythm of the song.
With its soft, airy melody, it’s a number that turns a karaoke room into a chill space.
DRESSING ROOMNatori
Born in 2003, Natori began posting songs on TikTok in his teens, and his 2022 release “Overdose” became a massive viral hit that quickly raised his profile as a much-anticipated singer-songwriter.
Whether it’s a stylish city-pop-inspired track or an intense, rock-tinged number, his unique low register—rich with a distinctive allure—anchors his vocals and melodies, creating a world that’s unmistakably his.
For those who want to sing like Natori, I recommend “DRESSING ROOM,” released in February 2025.
It’s a chic track with a characteristically danceable, groovy production and sultry melodies—perfect for a nighttime drive.
Because the pitch sits low, it’s especially great for people who struggle with high notes and want to give it a try.
The rapid phrasing and the way the lyrics fit the melody, as well as the rhythmic feel, aren’t exactly easy, but if you listen to the original repeatedly and let both the melody and rhythm sink into your body, you’ll be well-prepared for the performance!
