Karaoke songs to sing in the morning (1–10)
breakfastMrs. GREEN APPLE
Released on June 4, 2025 and used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Sun! Shine,” the track centers on themes of “new beginnings,” “hope,” and “starting over.” It’s the kind of song that makes you feel refreshed and helps reset your mood.
The vocal range is fairly wide at C3–F#5, but if you’re comfortable with falsetto, it should be relatively easy to sing.
The overall rhythm has a bouncy feel, so try lightly singing while keeping time with your hands up and down like “1-2-1-2,” and generally aim your hands upward as if you’re watching a live performance.
Moving your whole body in the same way will also make it easier to sing.
Since the transitions between chest voice and falsetto are clearly defined in this song, you’ll be fine as long as you commit to your voice without hesitation!
New EraNulbarich
This karaoke song by Nulbarich, a new-generation band drawing attention for their fusion-funk flavor, features invigorating guitar sounds and vocals that evoke a pleasant feeling.
It’s a stylish, sophisticated track that creates an atmosphere making you want to sing it in the morning for a refreshing start.
lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE
A massive hit by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE that delicately captures the brilliance and bitterness of youth.
It begins with a gentle melody and evolves into a powerful, grand sound—perfect for waking up in the morning.
Chosen as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime “Boukyaku Battery,” it won the Grand Prize at the 66th Japan Record Awards.
With this award, the band achieved the unprecedented feat of winning two years in a row.
The lyrics, which support the feeling of moving forward step by step despite anxiety and doubt, will gently push the backs of all those greeting a new morning.
JoyfulIkimonogakari
For a morning wake-up song, my top pick would be “Joyful.” From the intro, it kicks off at high energy and keeps that level all the way to the finish.
Blast it on your commute—whether on the train or in the car—and it just might boost your motivation.
Full driveKANA-BOON
A karaoke song by KANA-BOON, a rising band drawing attention for their sophisticated artistry and catchy melodic sense.
With a smooth musicality imbued with a distinctly morning-friendly feel, this work unfailingly stirs the heart.
crimsonX JAPAN
This is a song I’d recommend to people who feel hazy in the morning or are stressed out from the start of the day.
I’m not sure if it’s really appropriate to recommend it (lol), but if you listen to this song in the morning, it might not only wake you up—it could blow away all sorts of hang-ups.
The fatigue that follows is something else, though.
DAYBREAK FRONTLINE (feat. IA)Orangestar
This song delivers the passion of young people aiming for daybreak, carried on a refreshing melody.
Along with its clear, translucent vocals, it inspires the hope that every night will surely give way to dawn.
Released in December 2016, the track has become a hit, surpassing one million plays.
The lyrics’ message—“Keep looking forward and move ahead”—will gently give a push to anyone trying to take a new step.
If you listen to it as morning jogging or commute/school BGM, it might help you kick-start your day with energy.
Now, let’s run toward the front line of daybreak together!
