“I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend” — with a title and opening that make your heart feel uneasy.

If you suddenly sing this at karaoke with your partner, you might really surprise them.

The lyrics, comparing the ex-boyfriend and the current boyfriend yet ultimately overflowing with feelings for the ex, pierce straight into the heart.

She’s a sly girlfriend, but why does she become so unfair? It makes you curious about the feelings hidden beneath the lyrics.

Not enough wacci

“Tarina” (Not Enough), released by wacci in 2020, drew attention much like their breakup song “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend.” This track is also a farewell song that brings to mind the woman portrayed in “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend,” but it’s packed with even more lingering feelings.

After a breakup, you can still love the person so much you want to get back together, and it can be hard to switch your feelings off.

This song captures those real emotions in that moment, along with the bittersweet resolve of “I have to end this…” It’s a tear-jerking breakup song for anyone who has “just broken up and is hurting” or “can’t forget someone,” and one you’ll want to sing in those times.

Like tonight's moonElephant Kashimashi

Like Tonight’s Moon is a song that could be called the catalyst for expanding Elephant Kashimashi’s recognition.

It was produced as the theme song for the drama Because the Moon Shines at Night.

Although the song was released in 1997, they also performed it at their first appearance on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 2017.

It really shows that when you think of Elephant Kashimashi, you think of this song.

It’s a timeless classic that never loses its luster, so if you’re a man who hasn’t sung it yet, give it a try.

Let your feelings ride on the slightly bittersweet lyrics that bring to mind someone you love.

Blue BenchSasuke

“Aoi Bench” is Sasuke’s debut single, a heartbreak number that captures one’s feelings for a high school crush.

The song was a big hit at the time and became widely talked about, especially among students—it was even included in music textbooks and became a staple at school choir competitions.

Since the lyrics reflect feelings from an adult’s perspective, it’s recommended not only for students but also for working men.

It’s relatively up-tempo, so it doesn’t feel too gloomy and is easy to sing at karaoke!

RobinsonSpitz

Spitz has countless classic songs, but among them, isn’t “Robinson” one of the most popular choices for karaoke? No matter how many times you listen, it never gets old—you just want to hear it again and again.

It was also used as an insert song in the drama “Hakusen Nagashi,” so I think it’s a nostalgic tune for those who watched the show back then.

Spitz’s songs are in keys that anyone can sing regardless of gender, so they’re really helpful when you’re unsure what to sing.

That said, if you’re a Spitz fan, this is definitely a song you’ll want to sing at least once!

MapleSpitz

This is a song that was used as an insert track in the drama “Over Time,” starring Makiko Esumi, and as the theme song in the drama “A Mother’s Last Day,” starring Takako Tokiwa.

In 2017, it drew attention again when actress Moka Kamishiraishi covered it for a Kirin Gogo no Kocha (Afternoon Tea) commercial.

The chorus melody is very memorable.

It’s also very popular at karaoke—many people probably sing it often, don’t they?
