Until the world endsWANDS36rank/position
WANDS is a three-piece rock band known as one of the most iconic acts among Being artists who dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s.
Their 8th single, “Until the World Ends…,” used as the second ending theme for the TV anime Slam Dunk, is a memorable track featuring emotional lyrics and a catchy melody.
For those who listened to it in real time, singing along may bring back vivid memories of that era.
With the 2022 release of the animated film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, the song has been garnering renewed acclaim as a million-selling number.
Et cetera related to the seashorePUFFY37rank/position
PUFFY is a distinctive female duo whose music is striking for its unique sensibility: while their songs often have a bright, standout tone, they also carry a subtly ennui-laden atmosphere.
They’re also known as fashion icons, and I believe many women in their 40s admired their fashion and musical style.
Among PUFFY’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is Nagisa ni Matsuwaru Et Cetera.
Although it sits a bit on the higher side, the vocal range itself is relatively narrow—mid2B to hiC#—so as long as you sing it in an appropriate key, you shouldn’t struggle with vocal production.
Since much of it is sung in chest voice, trying to deliver the chorus in a speaking-like tone is a good approach.
Zankyo SankaAimer38rank/position
Released in January 2022, “Zankyosanka” was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc.
Many listeners were captivated by Aimer’s powerful yet emotive vocals, the vibrant, world-building sound, and the refined lyrics.
Belt it out at karaoke while feeling the exhilarating momentum of the track coursing through you, and even your everyday worries might start to feel like, “No use fretting about it!” Give this song—beloved by countless fans—a try and get the crowd going with your friends!
A Cruel Angel's ThesisYoko Takahashi39rank/position
As you know, it’s the theme song of the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis.” It proudly ranked third in the karaoke song rankings of the Heisei era.
Widely embraced across generations, it’s a landmark of anime songs.
Everyone knows it, and everyone can get hyped to it.
HOWEVERGLAY40rank/position
Released in 1997, this hit song was GLAY’s first million-seller.
Among their many hits, it stands out as a gently delivered ballad.
TERU’s soulful vocals are striking, and it’s a popular track that’s sure to get everyone excited at karaoke while reminiscing about those days.
Listening to this song really makes you want to go to karaoke, doesn’t it?

secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE41rank/position
An emotionally moving song themed around the end of summer and friendship—this is ZONE’s signature work.
The lyrics, which depict the pure memories of one’s teenage years and farewells with dear friends, resonate deeply with listeners.
Released in August 2001, it became a massive hit, selling over one million copies.
It was also chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kids War 3.” Its refreshing, acoustic-based sound is another part of its appeal.
If you’re singing it at karaoke, the end of summer or graduation season is especially fitting.
For those who have experienced parting with friends, it will surely strike a powerful chord.
planetariumAi Otsuka42rank/position
Planetarium, released in 2005, is also hugely popular as a karaoke song! It was the image song for the drama Boys Over Flowers that aired at the time, so it really brings back memories! Since so many people know it, it’s a sure-fire pick for karaoke.
If you were the generation that listened to it in real time, I hope you sing it with feeling as you reminisce.
Overall, keep it gentle, and then draw everyone’s attention with the powerful yet delicate touches in the chorus.
