Ketsumeishi Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2025] (1–10)
balladKetsumeishi1rank/position
A love ballad from Ketsumeishi that offers a different flavor from their usual cheerful image.
It’s a tear-jerker that gently yet poignantly sings of unfulfilled feelings for someone special, carried by a tender, aching melody.
With rap kept to a minimum and piano and strings that seep into the heart, this piece also surprised longtime fans as a bold departure.
Released in January 2011 as one half of a double A-side single and included on the classic album Ketsunopolis 7, it was also used as the theme song for Nippon TV’s information program Sukkiri!!.
If you sing it softly at karaoke—where upbeat tracks usually steal the show—its contrast will draw everyone in.
Why not showcase a new side of yourself with this hidden gem?
cherry blossomKetsumeishi2rank/position
This iconic song that symbolizes the spring season is also extremely popular at karaoke.
It’s a bittersweet yet heartwarming track that sings of past love, revived alongside scenes of cherry blossoms.
The contrast between the rap-driven storytelling and the catchy chorus that anyone can sing along to is truly moving.
Released as a single in February 2005, it became the group’s biggest hit despite having no tie-in.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and the emotional atmosphere is sure to deepen.
When the chorus comes, join in together for a rousing sing-along and enjoy the sense of unity!
Summer MemoriesKetsumeishi3rank/position
A single with a mellow rap and soothing melody that weaves a charming, nostalgic atmosphere.
The lyrics, which sing of memories of radiant summer days spent with friends and the sudden pangs of wistfulness that come back, are something many people will likely overlay with their own youth.
Released in July 2003 as Ketsumeishi’s seventh single, the song became widely familiar as a Vodafone commercial tune.
It’s perfect for an end-of-summer drive or those quiet moments alone in reflection, when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.
companion; comrade; friend; fellow; teammate; allyKetsumeishi4rank/position
For those looking for songs focused on male friendship—especially passionate, brotherly bonds—I recommend “Nakama.” It’s a track by the hip-hop group Ketsumeishi.
Set to a sound that blends ballad and reggae, it sings about the importance of friends.
The latter half plays like a cheer song, making it a great choice to dedicate to a friend embarking on a new path.
One more thing to add: the music video.
It features a star-studded cast of actors and is produced in a drama-like style.
The beauties of nature — flowers, birds, wind, and the moon (a poetic expression appreciating nature’s elegance)Ketsumeishi5rank/position
Ketsumeishi is a music group that sparked a hip-hop boom in the overground scene in the 2000s.
Known for many songs about love and friendship, they’re recognized as a hip-hop group that won over a broad mainstream audience with approachable rap.
Among their tracks, “Kachou Fuugetsu” is particularly easy to sing.
The rap elements are relatively subdued, and the song as a whole is arranged with a melody that has a somewhat Okinawan folk vibe.
The vocal range is narrow and the vocal lines are simple, but there are many sustained notes in the chorus, so you need to pay attention to vocal power and key adjustments.
tear(s)Ketsumeishi6rank/position
Ketsumeishi’s 9th single.
Released on April 21, 2004.
A slow-tempo encouragement song packed with messages set to a simple melody, telling you that it’s okay to cry when you feel like it—every tear helps you grow.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing when you feel stuck in life.
Farewell, tearsKetsumeishi7rank/position
Released in March 2016, this is Ketsumeishi’s 28th single.
As you’d expect from a Ketsumeishi track with its appealing slightly husky vocals, it’s an ideal song for lower-voiced men to sing at karaoke.
The song follows a classic J-pop single structure, with a catchy chorus melody and lyrics that repeatedly include the title—making it an easy pick for a casual karaoke number.
The key to nailing this song is, above all, how coolly you can deliver the rap-style sections.
First, memorize the lyrics well, then try singing while paying attention to phrase breaks and rests.
