LOSERKenshi Yonezu
It’s a track where the rap and rhythm lock in perfectly, delivering a real sense of groove.
While the theme of the song—“loser”—might sound negative, the beat that makes you want to move and the uplifting melody completely wash that away.
Above all, if you can pull this song off well, it’s seriously cool, so I recommend it to anyone who’s up for a challenge!
Bacchi DancerDOES
This is a song that was used as the theme for the anime film Gintama.
It’s not only upbeat, but its fast-paced progression keeps it from dragging.
And since it has a slightly Japanese (wafuu) flavor, you might even find yourself feeling a bit chic and spirited while singing it.
Mr. Moonlightimase
This is the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” released on July 11, 2025.
It has a bit of a brisk tempo, so be sure to remember to take breaths between phrases.
Taking breaths will also help you lock into the rhythm of the song! In the chorus, there are lots of switches between chest voice and falsetto, so aim to sing without straining.
When you lift your facial muscles, your eyebrows will probably lift on their own—how about you? That expression is actually important: with a blank face, you’ll never hit the right pitch, and it becomes harder to produce high notes or falsetto.
Raising your facial muscles also makes switching between chest and falsetto much easier, so try singing with the image of lifting your facial muscles and resonating from the top of your head!
rainbowAqua Timez
If you want to kick things off with a bright, cheerful vibe, I recommend singing “Niji.” It’s a signature song by Aqua Timez, released in 2008, with warm lyrics that have encouraged many people.
It’s also famous as the theme song for the drama Gokusen: Season 3.
With its sparkling sound, it’s a song that lifts you up whether you’re singing it or listening to it.
It feels like the perfect opener that gets you excited! The music video is a great reference, and the hand claps make it easy for everyone to enjoy together.
If a friend sang it for me when I was feeling down or low on energy, I’d be really happy—and it would definitely lift my spirits!
CQCQGod, I've realized it.
If you’re quite confident in your singing, how about “CQCQ” by Kami-sama, Boku wa Kizuite Shimatta? It’s in a high register, so it’s challenging, but I think it’s a real crowd-pleaser.
Both the sound and the lyrics are cool, and it’s a song worth singing.
It might suit younger singers especially well.
We are!Hiroshi Kitadani
The anime One Piece enjoys worldwide popularity.
Since it’s been airing for many years, it has featured a variety of theme songs, but the most famous one is probably We Are!, right? This track is sung by anison singer Hiroshi Kitadani, and unlike typical pop singers, he really captures the spirit of the original work in his vocals.
The song’s range spans from mid1 D# to mid2 G#, which falls within the typical range for a male vocalist.
The pitch movement is relatively gentle as well, so while it’s exciting, it’s also very easy to sing.
RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
The quintessential Japanese guitar rock: ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s song Rewrite.
It shot to fame in 2004 as the theme song for the TV anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
Its popularity hasn’t waned since, and it’s enjoyed in all kinds of settings.
Of course, it’s also a perfect pick for karaoke.
Belt out the shouted chorus and get the party started!
