backlightVaundy
Singer-songwriter Vaundy, who began composing in junior high and also performed as a vocalist in high school.
The track Gyakkou – replica – from his second album, replica, is also known as a self-cover of the song he wrote for Ado as an in-film track for the animated movie ONE PIECE FILM RED.
Its ensemble, featuring a hysteric, in-your-face guitar sound, will boost your energy even as background music.
It’s a challenging song to sing, but it’s sure to hype up any karaoke session—so if you’re confident in your vocals, why not give it a try?
Stand by me, Stand by you.Hirai Dai
A pure love song that gently sings about the miracle of meeting that one irreplaceable person in the world.
It’s a track by singer-songwriter Dai Hirai, known for hits like “THE GIFT” and “Inoribana,” and it was released digitally in September 2020.
The relaxed R&B rhythm is soothing to listen to, and Hirai’s sweet, mature vocals are wonderful as well.
It’s challenging, but if you can sing it through, it feels great.
Perfect for karaoke with your significant other.
Ratpark feat. Kei SugawaraPEOPLE 1
“Ratpark feat.
Kei Sugawara,” which puts a duo’s chemistry to the test, is also highly recommended.
This is a collaboration between the rock band PEOPLE 1 and singer-songwriter Kei Sugawara.
Set to an intense sound, it channels anger and inner conflict toward the world.
A key feature of the track is how the vocals switch in slightly early handoffs and how callouts are timed to the other’s singing.
Because of that, it requires tighter coordination than a typical duet.
Super BallTOMOO
Singer-songwriter TOMOO, who showed her musical talent from a young age by transcribing film and anime music on the piano by ear.
The lead track “Super Ball” from her major debut album TWO MOON features a colorful sound that matches its title and a cool vocal performance that leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics, which celebrate the importance of keeping a childlike heart even as an adult, may soothe a spirit weighed down by the busyness of daily life.
With its stylish, urban ensemble, it’s also a great pick as background music for drives and other outings.
Starry NightYuka
This is singer-songwriter Yuka’s sixth digital single, released in February 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “A Night When Stars Fall.” It’s a slow-tempo ballad with a very gentle, soothing vocal tone.
As a vocal melody, there aren’t many particularly tricky parts for the average person to sing at karaoke, but faithfully reproducing Yuka’s delivery—resonant across both low and high ranges while never losing softness—seems quite challenging.
Be careful not to strain your throat on the high notes, and make sure to let your chest voice resonate solidly in the low parts when you sing.
So AddictiveReina Washio
A digital-only track by Reina Washio, former member of the Japanese female dance and vocal group E-girls, released in February 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Five Ways to Socially Destroy Your Husband.” While the song features a very striking jazzy arrangement and backing track, Washio’s wonderful vocals shine through and hold their own against the acoustic-only instrumentation.
With its complex melodic development, smooth shifts in vocal delivery to match, and the firm incorporation of a jazzy beat, it’s a very challenging song to sing.
Precisely because of that, if you can pull it off at karaoke, you’re sure to draw attention.
It’s a track I highly recommend to those confident in their singing.
Just be careful not to let your sense of the beat flatten out—doing so would ruin the effect—so pay close attention to that as you sing.
forget-me-notAwesome City Club
Awesome City Club is a three-piece band that delivers a music style blending a wide range of roots to listeners.
Their 2021 release Wasurena was chosen as an inspiration song for the film We Made a Beautiful Bouquet.
If you go to karaoke with a man and a woman, be sure to try singing it as a twin-vocal duet.
You’ll savor its sentimental lyrics and moving melody.
Also pay attention to the distinctive tones—like the guitar and electronica—and enjoy their rich character.
