Fun karaoke song recommendations: A roundup of danceable and hype tracks (21–30)
runnerBakufū Slump
The 12th single by Bakufu Slump, a four-piece rock band known for their outrageous live performances and exhilarating songs that evoke the spirit of youth.
Used as an insert song on the variety show “Genius! Takeshi’s Health and Vitality TV,” it became one of the group’s signature tracks that brought their name to a wide audience.
While the song seems to express the irrational twists of life through its repeated key changes, its powerful, straightforward melody resonates in the heart without weighing you down.
A rock tune that blends a sense of speed with a touch of melancholy—sure to fire up any karaoke session.
Kishonokku ExerciseAmenbo Plus
A song with an exercise theme that will make you chuckle without thinking! It’s by Amenbo Plus, a YouTuber duo from Osaka, and was released in September 2024.
It even climbed to No.
11 on YouTube Music’s trending chart.
This track is the next in the series following their previous song “Kaihou Exercise,” and it’s just pure fun: upbeat dance music paired with delightfully nonsensical, addictive lyrics that name-check things like baseball positions.
It’s a perfect pick when you want to laugh and hype everyone up at karaoke!

What We Got ~A Miracle Is You~King&Prince
King & Prince’s “What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~” with Mickey Mouse dancing is so cute, isn’t it? It seems this song is part of a project for Mickey’s 100th anniversary! Listening to the whole track, the actual harmonies only appear midway through the B-melody, while the chorus is in unison.
The chorus repeats the same phrase and is very easy to follow, so I think it’s great to add your own harmonies! Singing in unison is fun, but adding harmonies here and there changes the vibe in a fun way.
For the record, I would sing an upper harmony on the parts of the chorus that are in Japanese! Try different approaches and find what feels right for you!
encoreHey! Say! JUMP
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!
Why not? / Who cares? / It’s all good.WEST.
This is the true spirit of Naniwa! Just listening to it fills you with energy and puts a smile on everyone’s face—a perfect festival song.
It’s a single by WEST.
, released in April 2014.
Brimming with the kind of power that blows away everyday worries and makes you feel totally affirmed! Perfect for getting loud with friends at karaoke or boosting your mood.
Forget the complicated stuff—if you just want to enjoy singing, this one’s for you!
Danger ZoneThe Lethal Weapons
A parody cover of that famous movie theme song, brought to you by The Lethal Weapons! Aikid’s Japanese lyrics paint scenes everyone can relate to—like commuting mishaps and end-of-month money woes—sure to put a smile on your face.
And Cyborg Joe’s powerful shouts make the protagonist’s bold (and maybe a bit questionable) charge into those hardships even more comical and exhilarating.
The track was pre-released in February 2022 and included on the album “Aikid and Cyborg Joe,” released the same month.
It’s the perfect song for when you want to clear your head without overthinking.
Belt it out and have a blast!
Deer-Colored DaysDeer Club
It’s an outrageously cheerful, happy song! It’s performed by Shika-bu, a unit made up of the voice actors who play the main characters in the TV anime “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan.” The repeated phrase of the title is irresistible once you hear it even once! It’s bursting with an overwhelmingly positive energy that lifts your spirits just by listening.
The song was released for streaming in July 2024 and came out as a CD single in August of the same year.
Perfect for when you want to go all-out at karaoke or for lively moments of laughter with friends!
