Paradise GalaxyHikaru Genji
As Hikaru Genji’s biggest hit, this classic is beloved by people of all ages.
The strong association of “Hikaru Genji = roller skates” likely owes a lot to this song.
Following STAR LIGHT and Glass no Jūdai, ASKA of CHAGE and ASKA handled both the lyrics and composition.
With its bright, upbeat sound and lyrics that seem to revel in the joy of being a kid, the song leaves a lasting impression with its sparkling worldview.
Irresponsible? Who cares—LOVE!KAMIGATA BOYZ
An energetic, pop-infused track that puts the charms of Kansai front and center.
Released in May 2024 as the debut single of KAMIGATA BOYZ, a unit formed by members from a Kansai-based group.
With lyrics celebrating the “Kamitagata spirit” and expressing love for cities across the region, the song brims with Kansai pride.
The music video features homages to nostalgic TV shows and a “one-shot gag” competition scene.
Sing it in Kansai dialect and you’ll feel like a true Kansai local! Let’s all sing along and have a blast together.
D.D.Snow Man
With a powerful beat, a track was born that lets the individuality of all nine members shine.
It’s a song filled with Snow Man’s strong passion for their dreams and their determination to move forward.
Released in January 2020 as a joint debut with SixTONES, it sold 1.
328 million copies in its first week and topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
An uplifting anthem meant for those striving to overcome hardship and keep moving ahead, it’s a gem packed with a heartfelt message and a flawlessly synchronized dance performance by the nine members.
Shout out lovestorm
Arashi’s song “Ai wo Sakebe,” known as the CM song for Recruit’s “Zexy,” is a bright, dance-inducing track in contrast to the many mellow wedding songs out there.
It’s a wonderful song you’ll want to gift when someone special gets married.
The tempo is a bit fast, but the melody doesn’t have large pitch jumps, so it should be easy to sing at karaoke.
Since the lyrics are like a man speaking to the bride, it’s a song I’d especially love to see men try.
The Goofy Man’s WayKanjani Eight
Zukkoke Otoko Michi, released by Kanjani Eight in 2007, showcases not only their early, uninhibited Kansai spirit but also a distinctly catchy, funky vibe.
It overflows with Kanjani Eight’s bright, fun appeal! One of the song’s biggest draws is the abundance of call-and-response phrases that let listeners join in and have fun together.
It’s perfect for getting hyped with fellow fans, and even friends who aren’t fans can jump in and bond over the excitement.
Rather than for kicking things off, it’s highly recommended when you want to take the atmosphere to the next level!
Cinderella ChristmasKinKi Kids
It’s a sparkling, classic Christmas song that makes you want to hum along about “spending the holy night with your lover”! It’s not up-tempo or a ballad, but sits at a perfect in-between pace, so it’s easy to find good spots to breathe and keep a groove while singing.
The melodic line from verse to pre-chorus to chorus is smooth, making it easy for beginners to learn.
Up to the chorus it stays relatively low, so be careful not to let your voice get muffled.
Try to sing with care and project clearly into the mic! It’s also popular as a duet, perfect for harmonizing with a friend.
Of course, it’s a lovely song to sing solo as well! Sparkly songs like this are easy to sing at karaoke and highly recommended!
First LoveNaniwa Danshi
A seven-member idol group, Naniwa Danshi—who were household favorites on TV dramas and variety shows even before their debut—finally drop their much-anticipated debut single.
“Shoshin LOVE,” read as “Ubu Love,” is a heart-throbbing track with maximum swoon factor.
It also boasts a refreshing vibe that, in a good way, feels different from the typical Kansai Johnny’s style.
Listening to the members’ fresh, innocent vocals might help you recapture the feelings of your first love you’d forgotten.
