Mahoroba Asterisk≠ME
≠ME, a 12-member idol group produced by Rino Sashihara and affectionately known as Noimii.
Their song “Mahoroba Asterisk” is their second single, released in 2021, with lyrics also written by Rino Sashihara.
It’s a love song that conveys a very pure feeling, comparing one’s emotions and romance to constellations and the starry sky.
While starry skies often evoke images of summer or winter, this song likens the feeling of falling in love to the stars that grow brighter from autumn into winter.
It’s a recommended track for anyone experiencing an unrequited love.
Setting SunYorushika
Yorushika is a two-person rock band that keeps detailed profiles private so that the creators don’t step in front of their work.
Their 13th digital-only single, “Shayō,” was written as the opening theme for the TV anime The Dangers in My Heart.
Its melancholy melody, brimming with an autumn atmosphere, is likely something many will want to listen to in October.
With a generally low key, it’s a sentimental pop tune that’s easy to sing at karaoke.
Dried flowersYuri
Since his major debut in 2020, singer-songwriter Yuuri has released a string of hit songs featuring his emotional vocals.
His second major single, the digital-only track “Dry Flower,” is a massive hit with over 800 million streams.
The lyrics, written from a woman’s perspective about feelings for a former lover, are highly relatable for many listeners.
It’s a recommended karaoke pick for autumn, but because the melody climbs toward the chorus, be mindful of key settings and pacing when you sing it.
SparkleLila Ikuta
Lilas Ikuta, a singer-songwriter also known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, captivates fans with her clear, translucent voice.
Her fifth digital-only single, “Sparkle,” chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s original dating show Today, I Fell in Love: Mikan Edition, is a striking number featuring a delicate ensemble centered on acoustic guitar.
Its lyrics, depicting the end of a one-sided love that was both painful and radiant, feel perfect for the sentimental season of autumn.
Though the wide melodic range makes it a challenging song, it’s a pop tune you’ll definitely want to try at karaoke.
red-orangeACIDMAN
This is ACIDMAN’s third single, sold for 300 yen as the third installment of their pre-debut singles.
The indie single credits listed Ichigo as the composer, but the major-label version credits ACIDMAN as the composer.
It’s very popular and is played at almost every live show.
I imagine many people sing it at karaoke as well.

Halloween NightAKB48

The members each show off different Halloween costumes, and it’s a song you’ll want to sing at karaoke when autumn comes.
glowing madder-redAimer
Speaking of autumn songs by the hugely popular singer-songwriter Aimer, it has to be this one! The word “Akanesasu” in the title seems to mean light shining and glowing beautifully in madder red, evoking autumn sunsets and scenes or people bathed in that evening glow.
In this song, meetings and partings are portrayed with aching beauty, making it a perfect fit for this season when we tend to feel a little lonely.
Aimer’s beautiful voice and the ethereal, grand arrangement resonate deep within the heart.
