RADWIMPS – Suzume feat. Toaka [Official Lyric Video]

RADWIMPS’s “Suzume feat.

Toaka,” which gained popularity as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s film Suzume, brought Toaka nationwide recognition through this track.

Because of Toaka’s clear, pure vocals, the song can seem difficult, but that’s not really the case.

There are no parts that require belting or hitting very high notes, so it’s actually easy to sing.

If you find the highest pitch you can produce most comfortably and adjust the key accordingly, anyone can sing it with the same delicate, ephemeral feel as the original.

Hitoto Yo – Hanamizuki

Released in 2004, this signature song by Yo Hitoto is also well known for being covered by actress Yui Aragaki.

In 2010, a film themed around this song was released.

It also drew attention for ranking among the most-sung karaoke songs of the Heisei era.

A beloved classic across generations, it’s a song that can be sung by anyone, regardless of gender.

King Gnu – Teenager Forever

A song that eternally engraves the sparkle of youth in our hearts was released in January 2020.

Included on the album “CEREMONY,” this track was also featured in a commercial for Sony’s wireless headphones/Walkman.

The song celebrates the small joys of everyday life, the pursuit of dreams, and the importance of embracing your true, natural beauty.

It portrays the feelings of struggling with the gap between ideals and reality, while wishing to draw closer to the person you once dreamed of becoming.

The music video, which offers a glimpse into the private lives of each King Gnu member, also generated buzz.

Be sure to belt it out with power at karaoke with friends or a significant other.

rayBUMP OF CHICKEN32rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN「ray」

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s second digital-only single, released in March 2014.

The song drew attention for its collaboration with Hatsune Miku, but since we’re introducing it as a karaoke pick this time, here’s the standalone band version.

It’s a lively, up-tempo pop-rock track that’s very true to their style, and it should be great fun to sing at karaoke.

There aren’t any particularly difficult parts to sing, so enjoy yourself and blow off some steam! High school students might find a lot of the lyrics especially relatable.

Sakanaction / New Treasure Island -Music Video-

Sakanaction has many crowd-pleasing signature songs, and “Shin Takara-jima” is definitely one of them.

Released as a single in 2015, it’s also famous for its entertaining music video.

Maybe thanks to the MV, it’s a track that makes you want to sway in small motions and step side to side when you hear it.

It’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke, too! Everyone listening will find themselves stepping along.

It’s a fun song that keeps the energy high from start to finish without letting up.

Voice of the SeaUrashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani)34rank/position

"The Voice of the Sea" Full ver. / Urashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani) [Official]

A song performed by Kenta Kiritani as Urashima Taro, born from a hugely popular commercial series.

Along with the commercials’ success, the song quickly became a hit.

Now a staple as both a sea-themed and summer song, it’s memorable for its straightforward lyrics expressing feelings for Oto-chan, Princess Otohime.

With this song, Kiritani also appeared on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Year-End Song Festival).

BOYKing Gnu35rank/position

King Gnu – BOY

You might think that all of King Gnu’s songs are high-difficulty picks for karaoke, right? Especially with vocalist Iguchi’s piercing high notes and his beautiful, almost feminine high-tone voice, it can feel intimidating to sing.

But the song “BOY” might actually be more manageable for karaoke.

Released in 2021, it also served as the theme song for the anime Ranking of Kings.

This track does have some tough high notes as well, of course, but try lowering the key a bit—it should make it easier to sing.
