Songs that make you popular at karaoke: Japanese hits that are a hit with the opposite sex (81–90)
I like you.Shota Shimizu
Shota Shimizu delivers a sweet, bittersweet voice.
The lyrics also straightforwardly sing, “I love you.” It’s a ballad that passionately expresses constantly thinking about his girlfriend.
If you sing it at karaoke, I’m sure she’ll be smitten.
JOYYU-KI
YUKI’s sixth single, released in 2005.
Unusually for YUKI, who is often associated with an acoustic pop image, this track uses DTM (desktop music/DAW production).
It’s a love song about a couple bound by a strong bond.
The second chorus is especially striking and showcases YUKI’s unique sensibility.
If you sing it to someone you’re a little interested in, the “JOY” magic might just create a nice vibe.
Always, the two of usLeo Ieiri
This is the theme song of the drama “Even If You Loved Me, I Have a Secret,” starring Sota Fukushi.
It’s a gentle love song by Leo Ieiri, who’s also known for powerful tracks like “Sabrina” and “SHINE.” When a usually cool, no-nonsense woman sings such a tender song at karaoke, that gap might just capture your heart! In fact, the lyrics explore whether you can keep loving someone even after you learn about the other sides of them and the past you don’t yet know.
I hope this song helps you meet someone who will love every side of you.
Because you are hereUru
If you watched the drama “Theseus no Fune” (Theseus’s Ship), you’ll know it: Uru’s ‘Anata ga Iru Koto de,’ which was chosen as the theme song.
It was released as a digital single in 2020.
It’s a bittersweet yet pure love ballad that says, “I’m thinking of you, someone precious to me, always and forever.” The fleeting vocals seem to blend with the sound of the strings, creating a beautiful effect.
It’s perfect for karaoke with a guy you like, and if, for example, couples or spouses sing it while looking into each other’s eyes, something good might just happen afterward…!
Beautiful personIkimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari is a duo whose clear yet distinctive vocals and wide-ranging, expressive songs have earned them great popularity.
Their fifth single, “Uruwashiki Hito,” released as a double A-side with “Seishun no Tobira,” was featured in a commercial for Coca-Cola’s Aquarius Vitamin Guard.
The lyrics, which straightforwardly convey feelings of love, may make male listeners feel as though the words are directed at them.
While the catchy melody and refreshing sound make it an enjoyable track, many of the lines are fast-paced, so be sure to practice before performing it at karaoke.
Summertime CinderellaGreen Yellow Society
Known by the abbreviation Ryokushaka, Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-member mixed-gender rock band popular for pop tunes that spotlight their piercing high-tone vocals.
Their 7th single, “Summertime Cinderella,” written as the theme song for the TV drama Midsummer Cinderella, opens with a lyrical intro of piano and strings that really lingers in your ears.
The lyrics, evoking a summer romance, might captivate the guys if a woman sings it at karaoke.
It’s a pop tune with a refreshing melody that heralds the arrival of the hot season.

If a woman you’re interested in sings it at karaoke, a man might find his heart instantly captured from the very first line.
It’s a soulful number whose resonant ensemble stirs the heart.
