[Gets Popular and Kills at Parties!] Stylish Song Choices: Karaoke Hits (41–50)
OursBESPER
BESPER is a band gaining attention for its highly original sound, influenced by genres like AOR, city pop, and soul music.
They’re a group with a very solid musical foundation, centering on city pop with strong elements of Black music.
Their new song “Ours” is characterized by a structure that emphasizes the midrange.
While it doesn’t feature a distinct low-end part, it’s an ideal track for showcasing richness in the low-mid frequencies.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
bergamotSora Tomonari
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.
MapleSpitz
“Kaede” is a classic song about parting from someone precious, and it has been covered by numerous singers.
The rock band Spitz, which had a profound impact on the J-pop scene, released it in 1998.
Its melody, centered on piano and guitar, evokes a nostalgic landscape.
Through Masamune Kusano’s vocals, which beautifully convey feelings of sorrow and loneliness, you can sense the ache of helplessness.
When singing it at karaoke, a good tip is to sustain each note in the chorus phrase.
Why not try this sentimental ballad that resonates with listeners across generations?
VirusTakanori Iwata
An addictive up-tempo track themed around lovesickness, this song reveals a new side of Takanori Iwata.
Featured on his second album ARTLESS, it was released on March 5, 2024, with a colorful, artful music video dropping the day before.
The lyrics, which portray love’s dependency and madness, strike deeply at the listener’s heart.
Iwata reportedly created this piece by pouring in his “unadorned, genuine feelings.” Its rhythmic groove and addictive lyrics are a perfect match—sure to light up any karaoke session.
It’s a must-listen for anyone troubled by love or looking for fresh music.
C.U.R.I.O.S.I.T.Y. feat. Paledusk and CHICO CARLITOONE OK ROCK
Speaking of Taka, the vocalist of ONE OK ROCK who continues to work globally not only in Japan but around the world, he’s also known for his powerful singing ability, effortlessly handling everything from a wide vocal range to shouts.
Many people admire Taka, but this time I’d like to introduce C.
U.
R.

Y.
as a song with a high level of difficulty for karaoke.
It’s a track from the album DETOX, released in February 2025, and it’s shaped into an aggressive loud rock number featuring CHICO CARLITO, a rapper from Okinawa, and Paledusk, a band popular for their hybrid metalcore sound.
With all-English lyrics, the song busily jumps between restrained sections, high-pitched shouts, and melodic parts, and even requires rapping and growls.
So if Taka’s parts alone feel too tough, I recommend tackling it at karaoke with a few friends—especially those who are good at rap and growls!
CYMBillyrrom
If you want to aim for a perfect score with a stylish, high-sense track, we also recommend “CYM.” It’s a Black music–style piece centered on funk and disco, featuring a bouncy bassline that stands out throughout.
The vocal line adds color to the track, often coming in on the backbeat.
While the rhythm has a bit of difficulty, the vocal melody is relatively flat and monotonous, making it a song where aiming for 100 points should be easier.
MermaidYuka
Yuka, a female singer-songwriter popular for her stylish musicality.
Because many of her songs are influenced by Western music, they’re generally not easy to score highly on, but there are some that are easier to sing.
One of those is Mermaid.
Although this track is a high-pitched song sung mostly in mixed voice and falsetto, the overall range is compact, so anyone can sing it comfortably by adjusting the key.
In addition, most of it is sung with a whispery tone, so it doesn’t require much volume.
It also lacks ad-libs and has several other singer-friendly features, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
