[Gets Popular and Kills at Parties!] Stylish Song Choices: Karaoke Hits (41–50)
MIRRORAdo
It’s a cool track where a funky bassline takes the lead, and its danceable, stylish groove brings out a new side of Ado! “MIRROR,” released in May 2024, is a song by Ado provided by Natori, a popular singer-songwriter who happens to be the same age as Ado.
Its sense of rhythm and melody line differ somewhat from typical J-pop and aren’t exactly easy, but once you lock into the groove of the track, you might be surprised at how well you can sing it.
In the restrained first half, try to keep it from sounding too plain by channeling Ado’s sultry nuance.
If you nail the key change right before the final chorus and the powerful falsetto, you’ll be the star of that day’s karaoke session!

SAKURA (Prod. Taka Perry)Aile The Shota
Aile The Shota, a talented artist recognized by SKY-HI, is known for a style that skillfully blends R&B and other Black music influences into pop, earning strong popularity especially among young women.
Among his songs, one I particularly recommend is SAKURA (Prod.
Taka Perry).
While the melody is stylish, the R&B elements are subtle, so you won’t encounter advanced vocal techniques like ad-libs.
There are also no parts that require belting, making it a song you can handle well even with basic technique.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
The song “Bunny Girl,” so popular that there’s hardly a day you don’t hear it on TikTok or Instagram, is the signature work of the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.
It’s characterized by an exceptionally light, catchy rhythm.
Despite how pleasant and bouncy it sounds—which might come as a surprise—the piece actually has a very narrow vocal range.
As long as you set the key appropriately, people of any voice type can sing it.
The vocal line is rhythmic but doesn’t require any complex pitch movement, and there are no long sustained notes, so even those without strong vocal skills can sing it with confidence.
HeavenRei
Rei is a multi-talented artist who not only shines as a singer-songwriter but also has the chops of a professional guitarist.
While she’s known for her high-sense, sophisticated tracks, some of her songs are quite approachable to sing—like “Heaven.” Despite its stylish melody, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, and the song features frequent rests throughout.
This means you’ll need to be mindful of the groove, but since there aren’t many other tricky parts, scoring a perfect 100 is well within reach.
Especially recommended for those familiar with Black music.
When it shinesHitsuji Bungaku
Hitsujibungaku is a rock band that brings listeners songs with literary appeal.
Their 2022 release Hikarutoki was chosen as the opening theme for the anime The Heike Story.
The track’s sound superbly expresses the contrast between stillness and motion, revealing a range of shifting emotions.
The lyrics, which portray living on despite hardship, will give you courage.
If you stay mindful of not running out of breath while singing, you can deliver a supple, graceful performance.
Try singing this song that unfolds a dreamy, otherworldly atmosphere.
JOYYU-KI
There’s someone you’re interested in at a karaoke outing with coworkers or classmates… In that case, if you’re a woman, you probably want to sing a song that guys will like.
But at karaoke with a mix of people, choosing an overly cutesy song can make you self-conscious about what others think.
That’s exactly when YUKI’s “JOY” is perfect.
It’s a dance-pop track, so it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
At the same time, it lets you show off your cute side, making it a great choice for subtly approaching the guy you like!
lensLila Ikuta
YOASOBI, the duo known for hit songs like “Racing into the Night” and “Monster.” Their tracks are also popular in karaoke, but if you deliberately pick a solo song by Ikuta Lilas, YOASOBI’s vocalist, people around you will think, “Nice choice—you know what’s up,” so it’s highly recommended.
Among them, “Lens” is the theme song for the drama “Is Love Sustainable? ~A Marriage March Between Father and Daughter~,” and it’s a richly nuanced ballad—my top pick.
Once you try singing it, you’ll find the melody is surprisingly tricky to pitch, making it more for seasoned singers, but karaoke fans are sure to love it!
In conclusion
Did these stylish tracks help you with song selection? Rather than just going all-out on hype, many of them have deep, moving lyrics that really hit home.
Be sure to practice, make them your own, and show them off.
These are songs you won’t regret mastering!
