Kobukuro Karaoke Hit Songs Ranking [2025]

Prayer of LightKobukuro36rank/position

Kobukuro / Prayers That Light

It’s Kobukuro’s 32nd single, released in October 2020.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “DIVER: Special Infiltration Unit.” It’s a very dramatic rock ballad.

Adding color to that dramatic feel are the duo’s excellent vocals and choral work.

The harmony pattern is very simple—an upper harmony over the main melody in the chorus—but that simplicity works extremely effectively to enhance the song’s drama.

As a chorus arrangement, the harmonies aren’t particularly difficult, so I encourage all of you reading this to give it a try.

For the high part, be careful not to let your voice flip.

Kobukuro 'Footprints' Lyric Video

A song that gently weaves a farewell to a beloved presence.

Looking back on days spent with a cherished dog, it portrays with warmth the traces that presence left on the heart, even as it accepts an eternal parting.

Its acoustic sound and melody offer comfort to the feelings of pet loss—an experience many may face.

Included on Kobukuro’s album “QUARTER CENTURY,” released in September 2024, this piece gives courage to move forward: to carry the sorrow of losing a loved one while never forgetting gratitude for the time shared.

It is a song that will bring deep empathy and healing to those who have lost a precious family member.

Kobukuro “Wadachi — Ruts —”

It’s a motivational song that lifts you up when you’re troubled or feeling down.

Released in 2001 as the second single by the musical duo Kobukuro, it’s irresistibly catchy with its light rhythm and satisfying chorus.

The chorus itself doesn’t require excessively high notes, so it’s a great pick.

Since it’s a fast-paced track, be sure to keep a steady tempo and pay attention to your articulation.

A town where it doesn't snowKobukuro39rank/position

Kobukuro “A Town Where It Doesn’t Snow”

This is a winter ballad single released by Kobukuro in 2002, known for its poignant lyrics and gentle, beautiful melody.

It was written and composed by Kentaro Kobuchi, who is from Miyazaki where it rarely snows, and was created with the image of parting from a lover with whom he once watched the snow.

The warmth of happier times and the sorrow of two people now apart are layered over snowy scenes, resonating deeply with listeners.

It might be nice to try singing a bittersweet love song like this—one that lets you quietly reflect on your feelings.
