Comedian Akiyama from the trio Robert, known for filling living rooms with laughter through his highly original comedy.

He has created many comic songs over the years, but among them, the one that’s especially popular with teens is probably “SAY KOU SHOW,” right? The song is about asking couples how they first met, and the punchline packs such a punch that it leaves a strong impression.

The melody is incredibly catchy too, so it’s sure to be a hit if you sing it at karaoke.

LiSA “Homura” -MUSIC CLIP-

I feel like “Have you watched Demon Slayer?” has practically become a substitute for “Good morning,” and that all high schoolers have seen the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

As a karaoke pick, Homura is a bit on the advanced side; the key to singing it, plain and simple, is how well you can hold back your emotions until the chorus.

Picture unleashing all the feelings in the chorus—Total Concentration, just for that moment! But once you start singing this song, everyone tends to launch into talking about Demon Slayer, so no one might actually listen to you sing.

As you know, it’s the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train.

Can’t wait for the sequel, too.

Stand by Me Doraemon theme song: “Himawari no Yakusoku” (Promise of a Sunflower)

This song, which became the theme for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon,” features Motohiro Hata’s delicate yet powerful voice—like steel and glass—singing about friendship.

It’s a classic that captures a page of youth, perfect to sing during the season of class changes and graduations when we part ways with friends.

The song written as the opening theme for season 2 of the anime Mashle: Magic and Muscles features a catchy, rhythmic sound and an addictive track.

Its lyrics carry a strong message that embodies the protagonist’s determination to take on a world where magic is the norm using nothing but physical strength.

The track’s appeal lies in Creepy Nuts’ hip-hop style blended with elements of Jersey club for a fresh sonic approach.

The piece offers a musicality anyone can enjoy, while also serving as a motivational anthem that gives a push to those working hard.

It’s a perfect song for junior high school students dedicated to their clubs and studies.

Released in 2004 as Yuzu’s 21st single.

It was chosen as the official theme song for NHK’s coverage of the Athens Olympics and was played during many moving Olympic moments.

It’s practically synonymous with “Olympic song.” As one of Yuzu’s signature tracks that gives many people courage and strength, it’s a song we’d love to hear high school students sing as they give their all in club activities.
