SAY KOU SHOWRobert Akiyama

Ryuji Akiyama—better known as Robert Akiyama—is not only a comedy performer but a multi-talented figure active in many fields.

In fact, Akiyama has strong vocal skills and can write and compose music as well.

The song “SAY KOU SHOW” was born from conversations among the members of Robert, and it also drew attention because the music video was directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa.

The title uses wordplay to tackle a topic that’s hard to talk about openly, and while the lyrics are downright crude, the song has an indescribably compelling flavor.

If you plan to sing it at karaoke, it’s best to save it for when you’re with friends who are okay with edgy material—so keep that in mind!

Someday at ChristmasNEW!DISH//

DISH// – Merry Christmas Someday [Official Video Short ver.]

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.

When it comes to character songs sung by Chu-tan, a character from HoneyWorks’ wildly popular creator unit project “Confession Executive Committee,” many people might think of “Kawaikute Gomen,” which exploded in popularity and became a meme.

But “Sukicchu no!” is also a beloved track by Chu-tan.

Like “Kawaikute Gomen,” it’s performed by voice actress Saori Hayami, and while it’s a cute pop song, its lyrics weave in the serious side of the social media era, offering a deeper exploration of Chu-tan’s character—something that leaves a strong impression.

The irresistibly catchy chorus is perfect for social media and guaranteed to hype up a karaoke session, and the melody line is very singable.

Still, be sure to sing it while empathizing with the protagonist’s feelings.

Since starting their activities in 2018, Amenbo Plus surpassed 1.

5 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel in 2023 and are currently thriving as hugely popular comedy YouTubers.

Their track “Kaihou Exercise,” released in 2023, was written and composed by Chibanyan, who is active as a DJ and producer.

Packed with baseball-themed jokes, it’s a fun, humor-filled song.

There’s nothing particularly difficult about singing it at karaoke, so go all-in—loose choreography and all—and get everyone who came to karaoke to join in the fun!

Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

Despite being a 2023 release, this character—a grade-school girl with a randoseru backpack playing a recorder—still pops up frequently as an internet meme on social media.

Yukopi’s 2023 track “Strong Wind All Back” became hugely popular for its lyrics that single-mindedly sing about how windy it is, its comically limp-sounding recorder, a video packed with surreal gags, and spot-on animation that even features the Vocaloid character Kaai Yuki.

It also spawned many parody videos.

The melody doesn’t demand any particularly tricky vocal runs, and the song includes handclap sections at just the right moments, so doing it together at karaoke with everyone clapping along will make it even more exciting!

Single‑minded Cinderella!CUTIE STREET

In recent years, idol groups that push an intense sense of “KAWAII” to the forefront and rack up major viral hits on social media have been on the rise, and one of the most representative is surely CUTIE STREET.

The ripple effects of their debut single, “Isn’t Being Cute Enough?”, are still being felt in 2025, but today we’re focusing on “Single‑minded Cinderella!”, which released its audio in 2024 and had its music video unveiled on YouTube the following January.

As of May 2025, it has surpassed 14 million views, a testament to the overwhelming attention they’re receiving.

Of course, “Single‑minded Cinderella!” is also an idol song brimming with their signature, overwhelming cuteness, positive lyrics that boost self‑esteem, and a dazzling ensemble.

It’s less about vocal difficulty and more about how deeply you can immerse yourself in its world, so sing it while channeling your very best, most adorable self!

Override – Kasane Teto SV [Yase Yoshida]

Since its release in November 2023, Override has become a newly etched hit in Vocaloid history, thanks to its catchy melody, breakneck-speed dance music, and lyrics that, while packed with references, still evoke a sense of inner darkness.

The producer, Yose Yoshida, originally worked at a company as a programmer, and reconsidering the title and lyrics in light of that background may reveal a variety of meanings.

If you’re going to sing it at karaoke, keeping up with the speed is the first prerequisite, but you might be surprised how far sheer momentum can carry you—and the melody itself is extremely catchy—so definitely give it a try.
