Vocaloid (1–10)
NurseryDancerYugika
It’s a downer, electrifying electronic tune.
Released in October 2024, this track is a number produced by Vocaloid producer Yugika.
The noisy singing voice of Narukami Mikoto pairs perfectly with the mad, love-obsessed lyrics.
I think it’ll hit right in the heart for those who love a dark vibe.
The difficulty is on the higher side, but why not take on this insanely cool song at least once?
No reply yet, kana? 💦❓ Old-man texting style 😁❗️Uncle Yoshimoto
Unlike the mainstream Japanese music scene, the Vocaloid community tends to be more welcoming to novelty/comedic songs.
Among recent meme tracks, many of you might immediately think of the particularly striking “Still Waiting for Your Reply?💦 The Middle-Aged Man Texting Style😁❗️,” right? While this piece features the trademark rapid-fire delivery typical of Vocaloid, its vocal range isn’t especially wide, nor does it have extreme melodic leaps.
As a novelty song, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, and on top of that, it’s relatively easy to sing—making it a smart addition to your repertoire.
The Howling of the Lost OneNeru
A track included on the major album “World Domination.” It’s Neru’s second song to reach a million.
Its uptempo, dark style is striking, and it once sparked a boom in the utaite (cover singer) community.
By the way, “号哭” is read as “goukoku” and refers to crying out loudly in wails.
Ghost RuleDECO*27
The song “Ghost Rule” by DECO*27, who has supported the Vocaloid scene since the early days of the boom.
After it was posted, it made history by staying at No.
1 on Nico Nico Douga’s category rankings for about a month.
The chorus, with lyrics that sound like a cry of one’s own existence, is especially captivating.
Sing it out loud and blow off some steam.
Western music (11–20)
You can’t leave out Western music either! If you practice well, it’s guaranteed to get everyone pumped!
These days, with YouTube and various subscription services like Apple Music and Spotify making it easy to listen to the latest Western music, more and more people are tuning in. But don’t you think Western songs are hard to sing? If you feel that way, chances are everyone else does too! That’s why if you practice some popular Western hits and show them off at karaoke, you’re guaranteed a round of applause and a huge crowd-pleaser!

Western music (1–10)
Do They Know It’s Christmas?NEW!Band Aid
It was recorded in November 1984 as a charity single for famine relief in Ethiopia and released the following month on December 3.
It spent five weeks at number one on the UK charts, selling over one million copies in its first week alone—an astonishing achievement.
Because the song carries a strong message, it’s worth taking the time to understand the lyrics rather than just singing it for the vibe.
It’s great fun to sing in harmony with a few people, of course, but it’s also satisfying to sing solo since there are parts you can really belt out.
Each singer in the original has their own distinctive style, but don’t worry too much about that—singing in your own voice is best! Place a hand on your chest and try singing while resonating your voice.
Beautiful ThingsBenson Boone
Benson Boone’s new release is a standout song that vividly captures raw emotional highs and lows.
After receiving acclaim on American Idol, he left the show to pursue his own music, building a powerful fan base through social media—this track is quintessentially him.
It beautifully expresses life’s joys and their fragility, intertwining gratitude and anxiety, all delivered with his clear, soaring vocals.
Released in January 2024, the song is already creating a buzz, with over 130 million views on TikTok.
If you sing it at karaoke, I recommend emphasizing the contrast between the restrained first half and the emotional chorus.
Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars
It’s a track marked by a sophisticated, soulful sound and a catchy melody.
The beautiful harmonies woven by two superstar artists from the United States will move any listener.
Released in August 2024, the song quickly dominated charts around the world.
It held the No.
1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 for eight consecutive weeks, the longest run of the year.
The lyrics, depicting a final moment with a loved one, are a moving blend of transience and joy.
Its retro-tinged music video also generated buzz.
If you sing it at karaoke, it’s a perfect choice to perform with someone special.
Pour your feelings into it and it’s sure to resonate.
