It’s My LifeBon Jovi58rank/position

Bon Jovi – It’s My Life (Official Music Video)

One of the hit songs by the American rock band Bon Jovi is “It’s My Life.” The comedian Onimatsu Tsubaki used to impersonate it a lot, and since it’s a fairly simple song, the chorus is packed with elements that everyone can get excited about together.

Every Breath You TakeThe Police59rank/position

The Police – Every Breath You Take (Official Music Video)

A signature masterpiece by the British rock band The Police, this memorable song prominently features the timbre of the double bass.

Though it holds a “quiet love song” status and enjoys overwhelming popularity among women even today, it’s actually a socially conscious track characteristic of Sting, written with the idea of a malicious surveillance society in mind.

Depending on how you listen, you can also notice a lurking eeriness reminiscent of the modern issue of stalking.

That said, it certainly tickles the feeling of “I’d want to be sung to like this by someone I love,” so perhaps it’s best to keep thinking of it as a love song.

Lil Nas X – Old Town Road (Official Video) ft. Billy Ray Cyrus

A groundbreaking track that captivated the world by fusing country and rap.

Released in June 2019, this song achieved the remarkable feat of holding the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 19 consecutive weeks.

The compelling sound born from the collaboration between American artists Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus is truly a musical experience that transcends generations and genres.

Sing it at karaoke, and its distinctive rhythm and catchy melody will instantly transform the atmosphere—perfect for anyone looking to energize a party.

Livin’ On A PrayerBon Jovi61rank/position

Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer

A signature song by the American hard rock band Bon Jovi.

I’m sure many fans were hooked by this track.

I remember how, for rock, the lyrics felt surprisingly fresh at the time—almost like an American-style “naniwabushi” ballad.

It paints a somewhat fleeting, melancholic picture of a young, poor couple in a backwater town who aren’t exactly lucky, yet cling to hope and stick together—blending perfectly with rock’s rhythm and soul to make a classic.

When you sing it, channel cool-as-hell Jon, toss your hair, and shout it out together.

Back To BlackAmy Winehouse62rank/position

Amy Winehouse – Back To Black

This is a karaoke track by Amy Winehouse, whose husky vocals and a world brimming with a smoky flavor enable a richly dense sonic approach.

The melody progresses in a range that’s easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf, and her artistry—familiar to women in their 50s as well—evokes a sense of luxury.

Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars63rank/position

Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars – Die With A Smile (Official Music Video)

The song “Die With A Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

Perhaps in line with the revival boom, this piece is crafted to evoke the neo-soul of the 1970s.

Since it falls under Black music genres, it might seem challenging, but because it doesn’t feature much of the technique known as “fake” in Western music—similar to the “kobushi” ornamentation in enka—the overall difficulty is relatively low.

If you can’t hit the falsetto in the chorus, try raising the key instead until you can produce a clear falsetto.
