Hump Back – “We’re in the car again today” Music Video

Following SHISHAMO, Hump Back is another girls’ rock band that’s been on a roll.

That said, their appeal isn’t just the cuteness unique to girl bands! Their strong, unmistakably rock ’n’ roll songs and the slightly husky vocals of Momoko Hayashi are a big draw, and they’ve earned a reputation as an outright cool band.

Among their catalog, though, this particular song has a relatively gentle vibe and a relaxed tempo, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

Its short runtime—about three minutes—is another reason it’s great for karaoke.

Among Bocchi Boromaru’s songs, the one that gained huge popularity especially on TikTok is this track released in June 2022.

Set to an exhilarating rock sound, the lyrics explore themes of youth and parting.

The use of lightning as a metaphor and depictions of everyday scenes leave a strong impression.

It topped Billboard Japan’s TikTok Weekly Top 20 and won support particularly among young listeners.

It’s a lively number that’s perfect for performances at school and cultural festivals.

If you’re a student looking for a song everyone can sing and dance to, this is the one I highly recommend!

Haj→ – for YOU.

This is definitely a song I want boys to sing.

If a girl heard someone say something this cool, her heart would flutter for sure.

People say there are more herbivore-type guys these days, but having someone by your side who takes the lead like in this song would be really reassuring, wouldn’t it?

This latest work by Noshi captures both wistfulness and freshness.

After gaining buzz on TikTok, it was released in March 2024.

It’s a love song that paints a bittersweet romance, with straightforward lyrics that really hit home.

It asks where the relationship is headed with a tinge of sadness, while also serving as an encouraging anthem that gives you a push.

The concept is rock ’n’ roll with a school theme.

It’s perfect for cultural festivals and school fairs if you want to get closer to friends or your crush.

If it’s performed live, there’s no doubt everyone will sing along and the crowd will go wild! Savor every moment of your youth to the fullest.

Mao Abe – I Want to Be Your Lover [Official Music Video]

It was released in 2009 as Mao Abe’s second single.

She wrote this song when she was a senior in high school, and the lyrics describe her unrequited feelings for someone she liked at the time.

I think many high school girls with a crush can really relate to it.

It’s a very cute song.

If you’re a high school student, there’s a good chance you like 04 Limited Sazabys, too.

Pick their songs at karaoke and the room will definitely get hyped.

Among their tracks, the one I recommend is “happiness.” It’s included on the single “Squall,” released in 2017.

You probably also know it as the song from the contact lens commercial featuring Kasumi Arimura.

GEN’s high-tone vocals might make you hesitate to sing it, but it’s a refreshing and cool number—so go for it and nail it in style!
