InsomniaEVE
This song, themed around insomnia, was produced as the main theme for the film “My Home Hero.” While portraying unstable emotions and inner conflict, it also conveys a determination to keep moving forward.
Eve’s distinctive world-building and emotionally rich vocals are truly captivating.
Released in March 2024, the track expresses the contrast between the ordinary and the extraordinary, as well as its thrilling developments, through music.
The lyrics—inspired by the film’s story—leave a strong impression.
A gaze is lightTatsuya Kitani
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
He’s an artist known for many inventive phrases, and even though “Manazashi wa Hikari” ultimately comes together as orthodox pop, he slips in a Japanese-style phrase right before the chorus.
The song spans a slightly wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, but the hi B parts are in a light falsetto, so even those who struggle with head voice can sing it.
The more challenging spots are actually around hi A, so if you set your key with that as the focal point, you can expect a vocal that really soars at the climax.
Naughty SunORANGE RANGE
For men in their late twenties and older, ORANGE RANGE is likely a particularly nostalgic band.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Ikenai Taiyō.” It’s a rap-rock track with a slightly comical touch, and both the chorus and its hook phrase deliver an outstanding lift.
It’s generally an easy song to sing, but since there’s a key change from the intro to the first verse, those who feel unsure should practice it a few times.
together; along with; bothWANIMA
It’s a song where strength and delicacy coexist.
It’s one of the signature works by WANIMA, a three-piece rock band from Kumamoto Prefecture.
Included on their major-label first full album, “Everybody!!,” it was released in January 2018.
Chosen as the theme song for the Kumamoto Earthquake reconstruction support project, this track is characterized by its powerful melody and lyrics that resonate deeply.
It sings about the courage to face life’s hardships and the importance of human connections.
It’s perfect as the first song at karaoke and is sure to instantly liven up the atmosphere.
LieNEW!Sid
No matter the generation, there are surely people who were deeply immersed in visual kei rock bands.
For men in their 30s, many might think of SID as a popular visual kei band.
Their song “Uso” is one of their signature works, and its Japanese-style melody, alongside bands like Kiryu, helped create a distinct movement.
For those unfamiliar with V-kei, the song may be best known as a theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
It’s a piece that both anime fans and SID fans can get excited about together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
That's enough now.Kocchikento
Set to a rhythmic groove, the song makes a heartfelt case for living true to yourself.
Written and performed by singer-songwriter Kocchikento, it was released in October 2024.
It drew buzz through a collaboration with a short drama on Nippon TV.
The sprightly melody line is crafted to make you want to sing along just by listening.
It may be especially good for moments when you want to lift your spirits or reclaim your sense of self.
The Zero Sense10-FEET
The rock number “Dai Zero Kan,” which was a hit from the end of 2022 into 2023.
Its intro instantly puts you in the mood of “Alright, it’s starting!” Although it was used as the ending theme for the buzzworthy film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, it’s also a perfect first song to kick off a karaoke session! If you want to start strong with a hard-hitting rock track, this one’s for you.
The subtle shifts in rhythm and TAKUMA’s solid, commanding vocals are seriously cool.
Don’t forget to nail those shouts, too!
