When you carefully read the lyrics, it’s actually quite an uplifting song.

So it’s not ideal for a big group karaoke session, but it’s recommended for people who like to sing earnestly and quietly in a small group.

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.

While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.

That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!

Katana-P Christmas Theme Song 2022Peanut-kun

[MV] Peanut-kun – Christmas Theme Song 2022

Starting his career in 2017, the so-called earliest days of VTuber history, Peanut-kun has stood out from other VTubers with his unique, mascot-like look—briefs on a peanut-shaped head—and has consistently maintained his style as an independent creator.

Also known as a rapper, Peanut-kun released “Katana-P Christmas 2022” in 2022, a reggaeton-inspired track with a striking, faintly melancholic guitar intro.

In skillful flow, he sings about his almost excessive love for Tōya Kenmochi, another prominent VTuber.

Even without knowing that background, the song’s slightly deranged vibe still lands as a “good track,” striking a superb balance that made it a hit.

I’d love to see you perfect the MV’s choreography and belt it out at karaoke with all your heart!
