U.S.A.DA PUMP92rank/position

DA PUMP / U.S.A. (short ver.)

This is DA PUMP’s first single in three and a half years, characterized by an upbeat dance beat.

With its catchy melody and lively groove, it’s sure to hype up a karaoke session.

It’d be fun to add some dance moves while you sing.

[Paprika] Dance Music Video | Foorin × Kenshi Yonezu | NHK

Written, composed, and produced by Kenshi Yonezu, this song was also broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta.” Many of you might know it from Yonezu’s own self-cover version.

As part of the 2020 Cheer Song Project, it was created as an encouraging song with an easy-to-sing melody for everyone.

So rather than aiming for a high score at karaoke, it might be more fun to learn the dance from the dance-version music video and get hyped with your friends.

Of course, singing it solo and going for a high score is totally fine too.

It’s a very singable song, so definitely give it a try!

Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB4894rank/position

[MV full] Koi Suru Fortune Cookie / AKB48 [Official]

It’s a hit song by the popular idol group AKB48.

It also drew attention as the song where Rino Sashihara, who won first place in the general election, served as the center.

With its slow tempo, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The dance is relatively simple and easy to learn, which is another reason it’s recommended.

Please Please PleaseSabrina Carpenter95rank/position

Sabrina Carpenter – Please Please Please

This track from American singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter blends disco-pop with country elements.

It captures the turmoil between love and reason through narrative-driven lyrics that contrast with its light, breezy sound.

Released in June 2024, the song became a global hit and was nominated for Song of the Year at the 67th Grammy Awards.

Featured on the album Short n’ Sweet, it was co-produced by Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen.

The lyrics, rich with witty turns of phrase that convey heartfelt doubts about a romantic relationship, are perfect for creating an energetic vibe at school sports days and athletic events.

That’s What You GetParamore96rank/position

Paramore: That’s What You Get [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

That’s What You Get has a driving, high-energy feel that makes you want to belt it out.

It’s a track from the rock band Paramore’s album Riot!.

The song maintains a sense of momentum throughout, yet the tempo is finely balanced—not so fast that it’s hard to sing.

The vocals are by a female singer, but the key isn’t too high or too low, making it easy to sing regardless of gender.

If you’re unsure what to choose, I definitely recommend adding this one to your list of options.

SparkleRADWIMPS97rank/position

Sparkle [original ver.] -Your Name. Music Video edition- Trailer from the new album “Ningen Kaika” First Press Limited Edition DVD

This is “Sparkle” by RADWIMPS, which was used as an insert song in the smash-hit animated film Your Name.

It’s included on the album Human Bloom.

Every aspect—melody, lyrics, and arrangement—is beautiful.

Let’s sing it while cherishing the song’s world.

If you open your mouth wide and articulate the lyrics more carefully than usual, natural expressiveness will follow!

OverdoseNatori98rank/position

Natori – Overdose

Overdose, Nat(s)ori’s signature song with an impressive languid vibe.

The piece maintains a downer mood throughout, so the high parts are intentionally kept restrained.

Falsetto does appear, but it’s not used because the notes are high; it’s a deliberate stylistic choice.

So if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, singing those parts in chest voice is totally fine.

Whispery vocals sound cool on this track, but overdoing it can come off as narcissistic, so keep that in mind when you sing (lol).
