Like tonight's moonElephant Kashimashi
Released in 1997, this song was created as the theme for the drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara,” taking the show’s content into account.
The track brought Elephant Kashimashi widespread recognition.
Since 2018, it has also been used as the departure melody at JR East’s Akabane Station, making it beloved by many.
Hiroji Miyamoto’s somewhat blunt vocal delivery is cool in its own way, and it probably made a lot of people want to try singing it at karaoke.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Golden Bomber
This is the seventh single by Golden Bomber, a four-member band that gained popularity and buzz as a “visual kei group without instruments,” arguably the biggest blind spot in Japanese rock history.
With a delightfully retro-feeling melody and a catchy group dance performed by all members, it’s a song that’s practically synonymous with Golden Bomber.
The melody itself is simple overall and easy to sing, but the chorus hits some high notes, so adjust the key to suit your range when singing it at karaoke.
And if you go with friends, you’ll probably end up singing and dancing together, so even if your pitch gets a bit shaky, it’s still a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
playing loversMacaroni Enpitsu
Macaroni Enpitsu is a four-piece rock band that has won strong support, especially among younger listeners, with songs that showcase high musicality wrapped in a pop sensibility.
Their first indie digital-only single, “Koibito Gokko,” was released as a tie-in song for the special collaboration Macaroni Enpitsu × Honda “Hop on a Bike? MUSIC FES.” The overall key is high and the phrasing is distinctive, so you’ll need some practice before performing it in front of others.
However, the melodic range isn’t very wide, making it relatively easy even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
There are sections where the tempo changes, so be careful not to lose the rhythm.
Nagisa is the best!NMB48
NMB48 is an idol group that’s hugely popular not only in the Kansai region but across the entire country.
As a group, they have a solid track record, yet they continue to release fresh and adorable songs.
Among their discography, one track I especially recommend is “Nagisa Saikou!” It’s a song themed around parting that evokes the end of summer, and, true to AKB Group style, it features a catchy melody that anyone can sing along to.

guidelinesUru
Uru is a female singer-songwriter known for her enchanting vocals.
Because she has a pure, beautiful voice, many people might feel her songs are hard to sing at karaoke.
For those people, I recommend “Kokoroe.” While it highlights the beautiful vocal lines that are Uru’s trademark, the song actually has a relatively narrow range, making it easy for anyone to hit the high notes.
If you sing it using a whisper voice that mixes in breath, the atmosphere will improve dramatically—give it a try for reference.
Don't give upZARD
For a karaoke session where everyone wants to get hyped, songs that get you excited from the intro are perfect! “Makenaide,” released by ZARD in 1993, is a passionate and powerful number.
Many people may know it as the theme song for the TV special “24-Hour Television: Love Saves the Earth.” Its simple rock sound and straightforward lyrics make it ideal for karaoke beginners.
The melody is easy to remember with a good sense of rhythm, so it flows naturally when you sing.
It’s a song you can belt out while staying relaxed and in a feel-good groove.
User ManualKana Nishino
It’s Kana Nishino’s 27th single, released in 2015.
“Torisetsu” is short for “torikatsusetumeisho,” meaning instruction manual, and its lyrics—telling a boyfriend how she wants to be treated—resonated with many women.
When singing it at karaoke, the beginning packs in a lot of words, so you’ll need to memorize the lyrics to some extent and practice keeping the rhythm.
However, because there aren’t big shifts in the melody, it’s relatively easy for people who struggle with pitch.
If the high notes in the chorus are tough, try using falsetto to get through them.
