B’z Karaoke Popular Song Rankings [2025]

Fly the FlagB’z29rank/position

Fly The Flag

This work depicts forging ahead under your own flag in a life that can feel like a solitary voyage.

Set to B’z’s characteristically powerful sound, Koshi Inaba’s vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

Included on the 2005 album THE CIRCLE, this song is perfect for those who feel lost in life and are on the verge of losing confidence.

For a B’z track, the overall melodic range is relatively modest, and it doesn’t feature Inaba’s trademark piercing high notes, making it comparatively easy to sing.

It’s a hidden gem—choose it at karaoke and you can show off your great taste!

HOMEB’z30rank/position

B’z “HOME” session

Released in July 1998, this song became a major hit as B’z’s 25th single.

Koshi Inaba’s high‑toned vocals blend beautifully with Tak Matsumoto’s soothing guitar sound, creating a melody that resonates deeply with listeners.

The lyrics convey the importance of self-discovery and relationships with others, offering a message that anyone can relate to.

The intro incorporates the sound of an accordion heard in a Paris metro station, giving it a unique atmosphere.

It’s also very popular for karaoke—mid-tempo, easy to sing, and recommended for a wide range of ages.

With lyrics themed around a journey of self-search, it delivers a deeply moving, message-rich work.

REDB’z31rank/position

B’z / RED

B’z is a musical duo consisting of Takahiro Matsumoto and Koshi Inaba, formed in 1988.

Since their formation, they have produced numerous hit songs and actively held live tours.

“RED” is a song specially written as the entrance theme for pitcher Hiroki Kuroda upon his return to the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, and it is a highly rousing track.

Real Thing ShakesB’z32rank/position

B’z / Real Thing Shakes

B’z is a rock band known for having many songs in high keys.

Among their tracks, one that’s particularly difficult to sing is “Real Thing Shakes.” The highest note in this song is a very high A, known as hihiA.

What makes it challenging is that the note is produced as a chest-voice shout without using falsetto.

On top of that, this high note appears several times throughout the song, so try to keep your throat open and avoid constricting it when you sing! Also, the lyrics are in English, which can make it even tougher if you’re not used to it.

Practice well and try showing it off at karaoke!

ZEROB’z33rank/position

B’z / ZERO

B’z’s “ZERO” has a cool sound that fuses hard rock and funk.

Even without a tie-in, it became a massive hit and sold over a million copies! Another highlight is the rare rap part for them in the middle of the song.

I think many men in their 40s have sung B’z at karaoke.

Among their tracks, this one doesn’t feel dated and seems likely to appeal to younger generations too, so it should get the crowd going if you pick it when you go to karaoke with junior coworkers.

I won't let you say goodbye.B’z34rank/position

I won't let you say goodbye.

This timeless masterpiece is a bittersweet farewell song that somehow brims with hope.

Using a university graduation ceremony as its motif, the lyrics strikingly transform the sadness of parting into a forward-looking sentiment.

Reflecting Inaba’s personal experiences, it symbolizes the end of youth and the start of something new.

The track was included on the album RUN, released in October 1992.

It topped the Oricon album charts and became one of the definitive songs on the landmark record that cemented B’z’s popularity.

When singing it at karaoke, the high notes in the chorus may feel challenging, but conveying your emotions is enough to bring out its appeal.

It’s a moving piece you’ll want to hear during farewells with friends or at moments of new beginnings.

B’z / So Let Go of That Hand

Released in September 1988 as B’z’s debut single, this track carries a powerful message centered on liberation and self-determination.

Its digital beat and catchy pop melody leave a strong impression, and it still feels fresh today.

Takahiro Matsumoto’s distinctive guitar work blends perfectly with Koshi Inaba’s vocals, delivering a sound that is quintessentially B’z.

The lyrics emphasize breaking away from the other person and establishing one’s independence, resonating deeply with listeners.

With a level of polish that hardly seems like a debut, the song foreshadows B’z’s future success.

It’s also a karaoke favorite, beloved by a wide range of generations.
