If you'd like, together.KAN
A single released in 2010.
It’s a lively 8-beat tune, which is unusual for KAN.
The lyrics depict two people walking side by side, and the gentle melody naturally lifts your spirits.
With few instrumental breaks and around eight minutes packed with vocals, you’ll need stamina to sing it all the way through.
Z Girl WarMomoiro Clover Z
There are long tracks among idol songs too! Momoiro Clover Z’s “Otome Sensō (Z Girl War)” is a perfect battle song, with Momoiro Clover Z serving as justice-bringing heroes like a Super Sentai team.
Its bright, idol-like sound and catchy phrases really stick in your head.
It also kind of gives you a boost of energy! Idol songs tend to get everyone hyped at karaoke, and this one is great for singing and dancing together.
If you learn the choreography beforehand and sing it, you’ll enjoy it even more.
Rain of Hazukiyuzu
Hazuki no Ame is a ballad included on the 2000 mini-album Yuzuman no Natsu.
It portrays the romance of two people, set in summer—Hazuki meaning August—with the irresistible scene of rain that perfectly suits a ballad.
From the 7-minute mark, there’s a 50-second music box passage that’s utterly enchanting.
The acoustic tones are laid-back, the rhythm is pleasant, and it’s the kind of song you’ll want to keep listening to.
Highly recommended for couples who want to sing a duet!
Summer MemoriesKetsumeishi
I bet a lot of people feel like listening to this when summer comes around.
It’s a single released in 2003 by Ketsumeishi, a music group that’s been active in the Japanese scene for many years.
It’s bright yet nostalgic, with a sound that captures all the best parts of summer—so pleasant to listen to.
And it has that irresistible charm that makes you want to hum along.
The lyrics are highly relatable, so it’s easy to put yourself in the story as you listen.
If you can, I recommend singing it at karaoke with friends and splitting up the parts!
Name of the FlowerBUMP OF CHICKEN
A gem of a message song that spins feelings words can’t capture.
This over-six-minute epic from BUMP OF CHICKEN gently embraces the emotions we all hold for the people we want to see and the ones we’re waiting for.
Created after the band spent an entire night talking with the film’s director, the track was released in October 2007 as the theme song for the movie “ALWAYS: Sunset on Third Street 2,” topping the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It also achieved the remarkable feat of monopolizing the top two spots alongside the simultaneously released single “Mayday.” Included on the album “orbital period,” the song—marked by its distinctive electric sitar tone—radiates a warm atmosphere that evokes the bonds with those we cherish.
It’s a piece you’ll want to sing with care, whether solo at karaoke or with close friends.
BirthYutaka Ozaki
Yutaka Ozaki, who still enjoys enduring popularity as a rock singer.
The song “Tanjou” (Birth) is included on his fifth album, also titled “Tanjou,” released in 1990.
Up until around 8 minutes and 20 seconds from the start, it has a breezy rhythm and powerful lyrics from the first-person perspective using “ore,” so it seems like a track that would get people fired up at karaoke.
After 8:20, it shifts to a mid-tempo feel, and the lyrics are woven in sync with the music as if he’s speaking to someone.
While many of the lyrics deal with life, it seems this particular song was a gift to his son, Hiroya Ozaki.
