Closing songs you want to sing for the last karaoke number (1–10)
First, the 10 classic and trending songs!
Alright, first I’ll introduce 10 recommended songs that are perfect for the last number: classic staples that are popular as final songs, along with recent hits that have been in the spotlight. I’ve picked not only slow and mid-tempo ballads, but also hype rock songs! If you’re unsure, start by choosing from these 10.
7th TriggerNEW!UVERworld
UVERworld is a band that commands overwhelming support from men with their motivational messaging and razor-sharp musicality.
While they have many exhilarating tracks, a lot of them are also quite challenging.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “7th Trigger.” The vocal range in this song is extremely high, spanning from mid2A to hiF, with the chorus repeatedly hitting hiA to hiD.
It’s a piece that stands out for its sheer height, but since there’s room to lower the key, try tackling it in the key that suits you best.
You’re the Only…NEW!Masatoshi Ono
Masatoshi Ono is known in Japan as one of the top masters of high-tone vocals.
In addition to his falsetto, he is highly regarded for his mixed voice, and he’s famous for delivering solid sound pressure even at high pitches.
Speaking of Ono’s most challenging songs, “You’re the Only…” is probably at the top of the list.
This piece features an exceptionally wide range from mid1 G# to hi B, and it does not use falsetto.
In other words, because every high-tone phrase has to be sung in chest voice, it’s difficult to pull off unless you possess an unusually specialized vocal range to begin with.
Moreover, as a rock ballad, it also demands vocal power, making it a song of very high difficulty in every respect.
GiftET-KING
This is the sixth single by ET-KING, a hip-hop group consisting of four members: twin vocalists, a DJ, and an MC.
The song won the Wired Music Award at the 40th Japan Cable Radio Awards and has since become a staple at weddings.
Its emotional melody and rap set over a strings-featured track can create the perfect atmosphere to wrap up a karaoke session when sung at the end.
You can also split the main melody and rap parts with friends to make it even more exciting—a great number to close out karaoke with close companions.
Forever YoungPistol Takehara
Singer-songwriter Pistol Takehara’s songs captivate fans with their piercingly direct messages and folk guitar–based ensemble.
This track, included on his fifth album “PEACE OUT,” was chosen as the ending theme for the TV drama “Byplayers: What if Six Supporting Actors Lived Together in a Share House?” Its rugged, powerful melody set to a simple arrangement featuring only a folk guitar is perfect for closing out an amped-up karaoke session on a mellow note.
With lyrics that give you a push and inspire courage, it’s a number you’ll want to sing as the final song among friends at karaoke.
KILL LOVEano
At tempo 192, ano’s “KILL LOVE” is a very fast, band-driven track.
The structure builds to a big lift in the chorus, making it a super refreshing song to sing! The range isn’t that high, so you can comfortably sing it in chest voice.
In the A and B sections, sing with ano’s usual laid-back, conversational vibe, while the chorus turns full-on rock in both lyrics and feel—so it’ll sound coolest if you belt it out with an “unleash your feelings” kind of emotion.
Also, since the tempo is very fast, pay attention to your breath placement.
The chorus especially has continuous melodies, so take a deep breath right before it, and be careful not to blow out all your air at once—manage your airflow! If you tense your chest and shoulders when inhaling, you’ll slip into shallow chest breathing and won’t get enough air.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and focus on directing the breath into your abdomen.
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
Just belting out a cool LiSA song to close things out is sure to crank up the attention.
If you can sing your heart out with her powerful, crystal-clear voice, you’ll end on a high note! The vibe is so catchy I can totally picture everyone jumping to their feet and getting hyped together (lol).
This one track is highly recommended.
flareSuperfly
It was popular as a song written specifically as the theme for the morning drama “Scarlet.” Choosing such a refreshing track to close the set would likely draw cheers from the crowd.
It’s a number you can really belt out, so if you’re a confident singer, go ahead and sing it through to the very last line with gusto!
