LALALA feat. Wakadanna (Shonan no Kaze)Miliyah Kato
It’s a pure love song that says, “Our time is limited, but I’ll keep loving you until the very end.” It’s a collaboration between singer-songwriter MINMI and Wakadanna from the music group Shonan no Kaze, released as a single in 2007.
It’s the kind of song that makes you want to meet someone you can feel this straightforwardly about.

Here’s one I want you to tackle with full spirit and pour your soul into.

The vocals, sound, and lyrics hurl fighting spirit right at you, setting your heart ablaze.
It runs over 13 minutes, but perhaps because of its sheer intensity, it strangely feels short.
When Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi fans get together, karaoke practically turns into a live concert!

Mr.
Children’s classic “Shirushi” is perfect for anyone who wants to sing comfortably at karaoke.
Released in November 2006, this single runs over seven minutes, inviting listeners on a rich musical journey.
Featured in the drama “14-year-old Mother,” the song opens with a piano-and-vocal intro, and its heartwarming lyrics—written by Kazutoshi Sakurai while picturing his beloved pygmy marmoset—are particularly memorable.
The chorus, born naturally from the flow of the melody, continues to captivate many fans.
In the lyrics, Sakurai’s deep affection and the subtle fluctuations of everyday emotions shine through, expressing the profound weight of a bond built on living together.
Highly recommended for those who want to savor blissful solo karaoke sessions or special moments with close friends.
killing timeMushroom Empire
It’s a song that begins with a sentimental guitar tone and then draws you into a distinctive worldview.
Created by Kinoko Teikoku, it’s included on their mini-album “Uzu ni Naru,” released in May 2012.
An over-eight-minute epic depicting the tedium of everyday life and inner turmoil.
It features Kinoko Teikoku’s signature emotional sound influenced by shoegaze and post-rock.
It’s packed with subtle feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and a kind of resignation felt within a monotonous routine.
A track you’ll want to sing slowly and thoroughly at solo karaoke or with a small group of close friends.
RED HILLCHAGE and ASKA
When it comes to artists who enjoyed immense popularity during the peak era of CD sales in Japanese music in the 80s and 90s, CHAGE and ASKA come to mind! “RED HILL” is included on the album of the same title, “RED HILL.” In the lyrics, there’s a whispered “What should I do?”, expressing the inner conflict of choosing between options, with the fear that the choice might lead to hell.
Many people find CHAGE and ASKA’s songs hard to sing because of the high notes, but this one is mid-tempo, so I think it’s singable!
