PretenderOfficial HIGE DANDism
This is the second single by Official HIGE DANDism, a four-piece piano pop band, written as the theme song for the film “The Confidence Man JP: The Movie.” Lauded for its high level of craftsmanship and hailed as a masterpiece that will go down in J-pop history, it became a smash hit that brought the band’s name to a wide range of listeners.
While the tempo is relaxed and the rhythm easy to follow, the overall key is high and the melody features many leaps, so it’s best sung in a key that suits your range.
Although it’s a ballad, it’s such a well-known song that most people have heard it at least once, making it a great choice to kick off a karaoke session.

It was also featured as the theme song for Able’s spring 2016 TV commercial.
True to GReeeeN—whose members all have the unique background of being dentists—the warm vocals and melody really stand out.
With lyrics about new beginnings and hope, it’s ideal as the first song at karaoke.
It’s a crowd-pleaser, so you can sing it with confidence at work gatherings or karaoke with people you’re meeting for the first time.

Revolution, the solo project of Takanori Nishikawa, who is known for his overwhelming vocal power—often called a “volume monster”—and his funny personality, and who thrives across a wide range of fields.
The music video’s outfits left a strong impression, and the track is also known as a summer staple in J-pop.
With its piercing high notes backed by immense vocal power and a complex melody, it’s quite challenging, so you’ll need to practice before performing it in front of others.
It’s an upbeat tune that evokes the arrival of summer, making it the perfect number to learn and use to hype up the opening of a karaoke session.

Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Golden Bomber
This is Memeshikute, which held the No.
1 spot on the karaoke rankings for 49 consecutive weeks.
It’s performed by Golden Bomber, known by the nickname “Kinbaku.” I bet many people got to know Golden Bomber through this song.
Their boundary-free performances are always entertaining.
I think many of you also know the choreography for the chorus.
It’s a song that everyone in the room can enjoy—not just by singing or listening, but by dancing along together.
The lyrics carry a sad vibe, yet somehow it doesn’t feel negative at all.
If anything, it puts smiles on people’s faces and is a perfect choice for the first song at karaoke.

Chosen as the theme song for the anime Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown Arc, this track is by Official HIGE DANDism, a rock band leading today’s music charts.
While their previous songs often evoked the image of moving ballads or stylish, breezy tunes, this one takes a sharp turn as they venture into a harder-edged style.
In line with the anime’s content, it delivers a driving, cool vibe.
On top of that, the song is widely known and its chorus feels exhilarating, making it a perfect choice to sing as the first number.

Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
This is the eighth single by back number, a three-piece rock band known for lyrics that resonate as people relate them to their own experiences, paired with emotional melodies and arrangements.
With its catchy title and refreshing rock sound, it’s a track that feels great—lifting your spirits while leaving a tinge of bittersweet emotion.
The key is low and there aren’t any difficult interval leaps, but falsetto appears in the latter half of the chorus, so you’ll want to be careful not to miss the notes.
The intro progresses from strings into a rock arrangement, making it perfect for a karaoke opener—an upbeat rock tune you’ll want to sing first to get the crowd going.
