Set to a passionate sound that fuses Latin and rock, this song portrays the push-and-pull of romance.

The lyrics, which express proactiveness and strategy in love, also leave a strong impression.

If you sing it at karaoke, try expressing that fiery romantic feeling with your whole body.

It’s a recommended song for anyone who wants to be more proactive in love.

It’s an outrageously cheerful, happy song! It’s performed by Shika-bu, a unit made up of the voice actors who play the main characters in the TV anime “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan.” The repeated phrase of the title is irresistible once you hear it even once! It’s bursting with an overwhelmingly positive energy that lifts your spirits just by listening.

The song was released for streaming in July 2024 and came out as a CD single in August of the same year.

Perfect for when you want to go all-out at karaoke or for lively moments of laughter with friends!

[Parody Song] Until the World Ends, Only Corporate Drones Will Understand... / WANDS

This is a parody song with lyrics imbued with sorrow that evoke self-deprecating laughter.

Even if your situation is a bit tough, sometimes laughing it off can give you energy, right? And simply sharing a sense of “we’re all like this” can make you feel better too.

Karaoke is a perfect place for that kind of mutual encouragement.

The key with this song is to sing it earnestly to build a sense of shared empathy.

Laugh together and belt it out—“Yep, that’s exactly how companies are!”—and turn it into positive energy to say, “Let’s keep doing our best starting tomorrow!”

Yes, with pleasure.Kent on this side39rank/position

Elementary school students often use devices with various restrictions, but isn’t it likely that most of them still use TikTok regularly? With that in mind, I recommend “Hai Yorokonde.” The chorus features an octave-up harmony, so the overall vocal range is fairly wide, but if you sing an octave lower, even elementary schoolers—whose voices can be unstable—should be able to handle it.

The flow is a bit complex, but its recognition and popularity are top-notch, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Frederic is a rock band that delivers its own unique songs incorporating rock and dance music.

Known as one of their signature tracks and a staple at live shows and music festivals, “Oddloop” drew attention thanks to its music video featuring an expressionless woman dancing.

The choreography—swaying the body while swinging the arms in the same direction to the band’s rhythmic performance—is delightfully addictive.

Because the simple moves repeat, even beginners can enjoy the dance.

Try showcasing a unified dance in sync with the energetic vocals.

Like the Moon Tonight / Elephant Kashimashi

It’s a deeply moving masterpiece that powerfully sings of passion for the future while gazing into everyday feelings of emptiness and loneliness.

Set against the backdrop of a city at dusk, it portrays the solitude and struggles of people living in an urban landscape, yet conveys a strong will to keep looking forward and moving on.

The soulful vocals unique to Elephant Kashimashi and the melody that resonates with the heart are beautifully in harmony.

Released in July 1997, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Because the Moon Shines at Night,” and was also included on the album “Run Toward Tomorrow – Moonlit Songs.” In 2017, it was performed in the band’s first appearance on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, winning over even more listeners.

It’s a track that will evoke deep empathy when you feel lost in life or spend a night thinking of someone dear.

Creepy Nuts “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” × TV Anime “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES” Collaboration Music Video #BBBB Dance

This is a track by the hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts that sparked a worldwide dance-challenge craze on social media.

It was written as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” the Divine Visionary Candidate Selection Exam arc.

The way the protagonist overturns the norms of the magic world using nothing but his own muscles is elevated into lyrics that mirror R-Shitei’s own life story—it’s the kind of thing that really fires you up.

Over an inventive track crafted by DJ Matsunaga, this song repeats spell-like phrases, making it incredibly addictive.

The explosive momentum is clear from the fact that the anime’s OP video, released in January 2024, surpassed 10 million views in just two weeks.

Belt out the chorus with your friends at karaoke and you’re guaranteed an absolute blast.
