As you’d expect, if it’s the theme song of a massively popular anime, you can look forward to a great response at karaoke.
“Saikō Tōtatsuten,” released by SEKAI NO OWARI in 2023, is a digital-only single written as the opening theme for the TV anime ONE PIECE.
The lyric video featuring ONE PIECE footage drew attention as well.
With its catchy, anime-like appeal, refreshing vibe, and a uniquely SEKAI NO OWARI world that even weaves in a marching band-style arrangement midway, this song is sure to liven up any karaoke session.
The melody line stays within a fairly steady pitch range, so even those with lower voices should be able to handle it by adjusting the key.
Yes, with pleasure.Kent on this side
Rather than gravely lamenting how hard it is to live in modern society, Hai Yorokonde packs in a humorous sensibility and a string of irresistibly catchy, TikTok-ready phrases, making it one of 2024’s defining hits.
The multitalented Kocchino Kento also performed this song at that year’s NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, cementing his nationwide recognition—a fresh memory for many.
While showcasing the vocal prowess he honed through a cappella, the distinctive humor and the melodies and lyrics that stick in your head after a single listen, as mentioned above, make the song a surefire crowd-pleaser at karaoke across generations.
The rapid-fire passages do take some getting used to, but if you struggle to keep up, focus on practicing the tricky parts and memorize them well enough to sing without looking at the lyrics—you may be surprised how smoothly it comes together.

As the title suggests, this is a super sweet, overwhelmingly cute number you can binge on! AiScReam is a limited-time voice actor unit born from “Love Live! Series All Night Nippon GOLD,” and their debut single, released in January 2025, is this track: “Ai♡Screeeam!” Right after its release, it blew up on TikTok and other social media, becoming a full-on internet meme.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, who can fairly be called the reigning champions of the Reiwa-era J-POP charts.
Every song they release becomes a hit, they boast an overwhelming number of listeners, and they’re wildly popular at karaoke.
That said, given their exceptional songwriting sense, meticulously crafted ensemble, and melodies spanning a wide vocal range delivered by Mr.
Omori’s incredible vocals, it’s honestly not easy to sing their songs well.
With that in mind, Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024, falls into the relatively easy-to-sing category.
Its lyrics—also serving as the theme song for the film Saint Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men vs.
the Demon Army—are highly relatable and are sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Just be aware that there’s a brief section of irregular meter in the middle, but once you’ve got the overall flow down, you’ll be able to sing it smoothly.
absolute zeroNatori
As a singer-songwriter born in the 2000s, Natori is charging at the forefront of the scene.
While Natori tackles a wide range of styles across genres, the April 2024 release “Absolute Zero,” chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime WIND BREAKER, features Jin on guitar and arrangement, showcasing a strongly rock-oriented, aggressive side.
At the same time, it’s packed with Natori’s signature sultry, sophisticated melodic flair—impeccable taste, as expected.
Once you get used to the rapid-fire vocals, it’s not particularly difficult, and it’s the kind of track that’s sure to get a crowd going at karaoke, so definitely add it to your repertoire.
Brain Narcotics Remix feat. CHEHON, MAKA, Ku-Jun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keithRAY
RAY, a popular reggae singer from Osaka who flies around the country mainly in the Kansai area.
Armed with a distinctive voice you can recognize at once and lyrics that fully showcase his talent as a lyricist, he began venturing into hip-hop and MC battles from 2022, appealing to audiences beyond pure reggae fans.
His remix of the hit 2023 track “Nounai Mayaku” (Brain Narcotics) is set to drop in January 2025 and is making waves thanks in part to its star-studded guest lineup.
Built on a dancehall riddim that’ll get your body moving whether you like it or not, the remix offers a lavish taste of each MC’s skills.
If you take it on at karaoke, don’t go solo—get your crew hyped with you.
Check everyone’s vocal timbre and flow, divvy up the parts, and you’ll take the energy even higher!
Someday at ChristmasNEW!DISH//
DISH// is a four-member dance-rock band.
They’ve carved out a unique niche as an idol group that performs while dancing, and they’ve created numerous classic songs to date.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka wa Merry Christmas.
Although the tempo is relatively fast, the vocal range is narrow and sits in the low-mid to mid range.
It doesn’t require vibrato or ad-libs either, so simply tracking the pitch is enough to aim for a high score.
