Ketsumeishi Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2025]

We GoKetsumeishi8rank/position

Ketsumeishi “We GO” Music Video

A track included on Ketsumeishi’s 13th album, Ketsunopolis 13, released in January 2024.

It was reportedly written as the theme song for the drama Jeanne’s Judgment.

The song was released digitally in advance of the album.

Throughout, it has a pleasant groove that imparts a gently heartwarming atmosphere.

The vocal range and the melody themselves don’t demand particularly advanced singing technique or a wide range, so in that sense it’s a song that should be quite easy for anyone to sing.

However, precisely because of that, if the relaxed, expansive groove is lost in the vocal delivery, the song can fall flat.

When you sing it, pay close attention to how you feel the rhythm and the beat.

I can see you againKetsumeishi9rank/position

Ketsumeishi “I Can See You Again”

This is a song by Ketsumeishi that captures both the anticipation of reuniting with someone special as summer arrives and the fleeting moments of bittersweet longing.

The rap and beautiful melody intertwine pleasantly, and you can almost picture your heart fluttering as you realize the person you haven’t seen for a while has become even more charming.

Released in June 2007 and included on the album “Ketsuno Police 5,” the track became etched in many people’s memories as the theme for Shiseido ANESSA’s commercial, featuring Yuri Ebihara in sun-drenched summer scenes.

It reached No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart—a number that resonates with sweet-and-sour summer memories and the wish to meet again.

Ketsumeishi ~Friend(s)~

Ketsumeishi is a four-man music group whose mellow, hip-hop-based rap touches people’s hearts.

Their 2002 release “Tomodachi” was used as the ending theme for JAPAN COUNTDOWN.

The strings that resonate over the warm, simple track are especially memorable.

It’s a song that makes you feel that even if you and your close friends are far apart, the relationship doesn’t end.

When singing it at karaoke, focus on your sense of rhythm and try to emphasize the rhymes.

Fragments of an EncounterKetsumeishi11rank/position

Ketsumeishi “Fragments of Encounters”

This is a gem of a medium-tempo ballad that gently depicts growth through encounters and farewells.

Released in January 2008, it marked Ketsumeishi’s first time providing a theme song for a film, beautifully capturing the world of the movie “Flowers Blooming in the Shade” (Kage Hinata ni Saku).

Also included on the album “Ketsuno Police 6,” the song garnered wide support, reaching No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Seamlessly blending mellow rap with a catchy melody, the track is distinguished by its richly emotive piano lines.

It’s a perfect choice for karaoke with friends or for moments when you want to reflect on memories with someone special.

Encounters are seeds of growthKetsumeishi12rank/position

Encounters are seeds of growth

Included on the 2011 album “Ketsunopolis 7,” this song looks back on the many encounters with people the artist has experienced.

As the title suggests, the lyrics—expressing that the singer is who they are today thanks to the people they’ve met—are truly moving.

Although the tempo is on the relaxed side, there are many rap sections throughout, and the lyrics are delivered quickly, so that point requires attention.

However, because there isn’t much dynamic variation, once you get the melody line and the rap rhythm down, it should become easier to sing.

BUMP to youKetsumeishi13rank/position

Ketsumeishi “Kimi ni BUMP” (KTM TOUR 2017 Phantom Roppongi Grand Circus Troupe “To be frank, it’s a party!!”)

Ketsumeishi, a four-member music group whose name comes from an herbal medicine used in China since ancient times.

Their 13th single, “Kimi ni BUMP,” is a lively track chosen for a Vodafone commercial.

Its funky guitar sound and repeating phrases over a passionate ensemble create an addictive feel, lifting your spirits whether you’re listening or singing along.

If you’re in your 30s, it’s a pop tune with catchy rap and melodies that you’ll want to try at karaoke.

My friend—now and forever...Ketsumeishi14rank/position

Ketsumeishi “My Friend ~ From Here On Forever…”

As the title suggests, the theme is “unchanging friendship and gratitude,” and it’s a warm song that makes you want to share it with someone you love.

There are many comments on YouTube addressed to Ryuhei Ueshima, and just reading them made my heart swell.

This is actually a memorable song for me, too.

When I had just become a vocal coach, I had a student in their 50s who practiced this song all the time.

They said, “It’s easy to get into, it’s fun, and it’s just a great song!” I totally agree—once you nail the rhythm and the flow of the words, you don’t need to worry too much about pitch.

That said, the section right before the second chorus does have some larger intervals, so it’s cooler if you pick out those notes one by one for a tighter finish.

I love this song too—want to practice it together?
