Midnight ShuffleMasahiko Kondo

Masahiko Kondo “MATCHY*” “Midnight Shuffle”

Known by the nickname “Match,” singer Masahiko Kondo dominated the idol scene in the 1980s while also thriving as a race car driver.

His 40th single, “Midnight Shuffle,” was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Silver Wolf: A Boy with Two Brains” and became a major hit.

Its melody is relaxed against a driving beat, and the key is low, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

With its high-energy ensemble that livens up any karaoke session, this rock tune is recommended even for those who aren’t confident singers.

The truthKazuya Kamenashi

It’s a song released in August 2025, and amazingly, it’s their first solo track in about two years! Listening to it, the range centers around low-mid to high-mid, so it might feel a bit high for those not used to higher notes.

That said, the melody is simple with no particularly difficult parts, and the chorus repeats the same phrase, making it very easy to remember.

For singing style: deliver the verse (A section) in a spoken, unforced way without belting; in the pre-chorus (B section), there’s a spot that rises to D4—accenting that part will let the notes come out nicely! In the chorus, there’s a small leap from C4 to A4—hit that confidently as an accent! The range should be relatively comfortable for the average male singer, and with its rock feel, it should be really satisfying to sing.

It’s a passionate theme, so definitely give it a try!

Chankapana NEWS 2016

The song NEWS released in July 2012 is an upbeat kayō-style track with an exotic flair, featuring an unforgettable, catchy chorus that sticks after just one listen.

The title, imbued with the meaning “beloved person,” reflects the group’s deep affection for their fans.

It debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon chart with first-week sales of about 245,000 copies.

Praised as an Asian-flavored love-disco kayō song that brightens the summer, it also features a pre-chorus section with members’ spoken lines—a must-hear highlight for fans.

At karaoke, imagining your partner or someone special can help you sing it with even more emotion.

Hey! Say! JUMP – encore [Dance Practice]

This song really brings out the best in the group! With lots of unison and harmonies, it’s fun both to sing and to listen to.

Idol groups don’t usually have a strong image of using harmonies, but lately everyone’s vocal skills have been improving, so instead of just unison, there are members who handle harmonies too, which makes it more enjoyable to listen to! The harmonies in this song mostly move a third above, so they’re easy to understand and sing.

Since it’s a group song, I think it would be fun to split the parts among your favorite members and sing it that way!

Naniwa Danshi – Join us! [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

One of the tracks included on the sixth single “I Wish,” “Join us!” Despite being a B-side, it has enjoyed exceptional popularity, even receiving a music video.

It features the refreshing, bright melodies that are a hallmark of Naniwa Danshi.

The vocal range is mid1 E to mid2 G#, which is fairly narrow for a Naniwa Danshi song, so it should be easy for men to sing.

However, the chorus contains prolonged mid-to-high phrases, so be sure to choose a key that doesn’t strain your throat or temples.

Shibugakitai - Eat Some Sushi!

A unique song with a sushi theme that’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke! Released in February 1986, this track emerged as a fresh challenge at a time when rap was just beginning to gain recognition in Japan.

It drew major media attention, including broadcasts on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” and a performance at the 36th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The lyrics feature a variety of sushi toppings and depict the fun atmosphere of dining at a sushi restaurant.

With its upbeat tempo and rhythmic, easy-to-remember lyrics, even karaoke beginners can enjoy it without worry.

It’s the perfect song for hyping up a group or playfully expressing Japan’s food culture.

Kis-My-Ft2 is a seven-member idol group that achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing two million concert attendees within five years of their debut—the fastest pace ever for a Johnny’s group.

Their debut single, “Everybody Go,” which was used as the theme song for the TV drama “You’re Beautiful” starring the members, was released outside Japan as well.

With a relatively flat melody and a modest vocal range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The song’s driving ensemble feel also makes it a breezy pop tune that’s easy to fire up the crowd with sheer momentum.
