mixed nutsOfficial HIGE DANDism
This is the seventh digital single by the four-piece piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism, written as the opening theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY.
With its jazzy beat and noisy guitar opening, it’s sure to instantly hype everyone up at karaoke.
Because the melody is both very fast and complex, practicing is essential if you want to nail it coolly as your first karaoke song.
First, focus on staying on the beat and be careful not to get left behind by the backing track.
Water lily flowerShonan no Kaze
This is the sixth single by Shonan no Kaze, a four-man reggae group.
It’s a summer song, but you can enjoy singing it any time of year.
Not only the melody and rap, but also interjections and call-and-response parts are sprinkled throughout, so everyone can join in.
The track is on the longer side at seven minutes, but the dynamic changes in tempo and mood keep everyone at karaoke engaged.
It’s a perfect pick if you want to kick things off with full energy from the very first song.
A-RA-SHIstorm
Arashi’s debut song is loved by a wide range of people, regardless of age or gender.
Their success truly colored an era, like a whirlwind of Arashi! Among their tracks, this one stands out with a strong impact—its lyrics about breaking new ground and new beginnings make it a perfect choice for the first song.
For people of that generation, it’s surely a karaoke staple, right? When it starts playing, you can’t help but hum along.
It’s not only catchy and hit-worthy, but that punchy vibe really amps things up!
IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
A collaboration between these two artists is incredibly extravagant, isn’t it? Actually, I sang this live with a male student, and from a woman’s perspective the key is on the lower side, so it was a bit tough.
.
.
But it was really fun to harmonize on top and trade lines back and forth! There’s also a death growl at the very end, so it’s definitely a song I’d love to hear sung by two men! Basically, it’s a song where the two of you alternate between lead and harmony, but there are various ways to harmonize—Hiro often takes the higher harmony and HYDE the lower.
There are parts sung an octave lower as well, so I think it’s best to switch things up and enjoy the different approaches!
RPGSEKAI NO OWARI
A mixed-gender four-piece band with a name that evokes a decadent image, SEKAI NO OWARI released this as their sixth single.
In their amateur days, they were often booked alongside death metal bands because of that name.
The track was chosen as the theme song for the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-class Gourmet Survival!!, and its fanciful world is a pleasant counterpoint to metal sounds.
With a march-like beat and a melody carrying a positive message, it feels perfect as the first song in a karaoke session.
The key is low and the melody is simple, making it a pop tune we’d love to see you kick off your karaoke with.
