Yes, with pleasure.Kent on this side
For Kocchi no Kento, a “multi-creator” with truly multifaceted talents, 2024 was a breakthrough year.
His track Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen that same year, was released in May 2024 and became an explosive viral hit.
As of 2025, it has racked up an astonishing 170 million views on YouTube.
Kocchi no Kento is known for his strong vocal skills honed through a cappella, but Hai Yorokonde sits in a relatively low key and doesn’t require a wide vocal range.
While the lyrics are a bit fast, it sounds great if you keep to the rhythm.
It’s also extremely well-known, so definitely give it a try at karaoke.
Spot the differenceMasaki Suda
This is one of Masaki Suda’s signature songs, written, composed, and produced by Kenshi Yonezu.
It’s a heartwarming track with an encouraging message: life isn’t always about having the right answers—its value lies in all the mistakes we make.
It carefully portrays a shift from self-denial to self-acceptance through meeting someone important, making it highly relatable.
Released in May 2019, the song was chosen as the theme for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Perfect World” and is also included on the album “LOVE.” It’s perfect for times when you want to reflect on yourself or belt out your feelings at karaoke—singing it at full volume can leave you feeling refreshed.
Name of the FlowerBUMP OF CHICKEN
A gem of a message song that spins feelings words can’t capture.
This over-six-minute epic from BUMP OF CHICKEN gently embraces the emotions we all hold for the people we want to see and the ones we’re waiting for.
Created after the band spent an entire night talking with the film’s director, the track was released in October 2007 as the theme song for the movie “ALWAYS: Sunset on Third Street 2,” topping the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It also achieved the remarkable feat of monopolizing the top two spots alongside the simultaneously released single “Mayday.” Included on the album “orbital period,” the song—marked by its distinctive electric sitar tone—radiates a warm atmosphere that evokes the bonds with those we cherish.
It’s a piece you’ll want to sing with care, whether solo at karaoke or with close friends.
SAYONARAORANGE RANGE
This song weaves a heartrending melody of acoustic guitar and strings, expressing lingering feelings for a former lover.
While fusing rock and hip-hop—the hallmark of ORANGE RANGE—it’s crafted with a ballad sensibility, resulting in a gem that runs over six minutes.
Released in October 2006, it was also included on the album “ORANGE RANGE.” Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Teppan Shoujo Akane!!,” it offers a heartwarming message of newfound hope after a breakup and gratitude for the time shared together.
It’s a perfect track for relaxed karaoke sessions with fans or for reflecting on memories with someone special.
End and BeginningKariyushi 58
An evocative song that captures the sparkle found in calm, everyday life, it was released in February 2010 as the B-side to Kariyushi 58’s single “Ame nochi Hare.” Its warm acoustic sound and heartfelt message—like reflecting on yourself at the end of the day—are compelling.
The lyrics gently question the finiteness of life and the importance of the everyday.
The song was used as the theme for the 2016 drama “Sanbiki no Ossan 3: Seigi no Mikata, Mitabi!!,” and from October 2024 it has also been featured in a commercial for Japan Manufacturing Service.
It’s a piece I wholeheartedly recommend, one that can stay close to anyone facing a life milestone, such as graduation or a job change.
Fragments of an EncounterKetsumeishi
This is a gem of a medium-tempo ballad that gently depicts growth through encounters and farewells.
Released in January 2008, it marked Ketsumeishi’s first time providing a theme song for a film, beautifully capturing the world of the movie “Flowers Blooming in the Shade” (Kage Hinata ni Saku).
Also included on the album “Ketsuno Police 6,” the song garnered wide support, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Seamlessly blending mellow rap with a catchy melody, the track is distinguished by its richly emotive piano lines.
It’s a perfect choice for karaoke with friends or for moments when you want to reflect on memories with someone special.
the red threadKobukuro
This is a long ballad that carefully depicts the feelings of a young person entering a rough patch with their partner, unfolding over seven minutes.
As a year passes, the protagonist’s heart gradually starts to look forward, and that progression is portrayed in a striking way.
Included on the album “Root of my mind,” which Kobukuro produced soon after forming, the song gently conveys the importance of trust in love.
It’s recommended for those who, while struggling with a relationship with someone important, still want to cherish their feelings for each other.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing with all your heart at solo karaoke or in the company of close friends.
