Kenshi Yonezu – Azalea

Kenshi Yonezu’s drama theme song begins with a gentle, moist piano melody and expands into an electronic soundscape.

Written specifically for the Netflix original drama “Sayonara no Tsuzuki” and released digitally in November 2024, the track beautifully captures the poignant love story starring Kasumi Arimura and Kentaro Sakaguchi.

It delicately portrays the sorrow of losing one’s dearest person in an accident and the complex emotions toward the stranger who inherits that person’s heart.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who has experienced the loss of a lover or finds their feelings deepening for someone precious.

I love youback number93rank/position

back number – I Love You

This is a back number song that gently sings about the feeling of being in love.

It expresses the tenderness found in everyday, ordinary moments with beautiful lyrics.

The words portray a simple, unadorned form of love that resonates deeply with listeners.

Released in October 2022, it also drew attention as the theme song for the NHK morning drama “Maiagare!”.

If you sing it at karaoke, try performing it with rich emotion while thinking of the time you spend with someone special.

Your feelings are sure to reach their heart.

LA LA LA Love SongToshinobu Kubota94rank/position

Toshinobu Kubota – LA･LA･LA LOVE SONG with NAOMI CAMPBELL [Official Video Short ver.]

This is Toshinobu Kubota’s 16th single overall, released in May 1996.

It was released under the name Toshinobu Kubota with Naomi Campbell.

The song was used as the theme for the wildly popular Monday 9 p.

m.

drama Long Vacation, starring Takuya Kimura and Tomoko Yamaguchi, and became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.

Now, when it comes to finding karaoke material for those who aren’t confident singers, it’s no exaggeration to say that the hit songs of the ’90s are a treasure trove.

Back then, getting a tie-in with a TV drama or commercial and being sung frequently at karaoke were practically prerequisites for a hit.

This song is no exception: it features an easy-to-remember, catchy melody and lyrics, making it something just about anyone can casually sing along to.

When you sing it, try to keep the rhythm from becoming flat, don’t lag behind the groove, and make sure your high notes don’t sound weak.

If the high notes feel tough, go ahead and lower the key on the karaoke machine.

ACTORSora Tomonari95rank/position

Sora Tomonari – “ACTOR” [Music Video]

Speaking of low-voice artists, many people nowadays might think of Sora Tomonari.

With that in mind, I recommend this track, “ACTOR.” It features a musical-like style and is sung primarily in the low to low-mid range throughout.

In the final section, vocals jump up by an octave, which might make it seem high, but if that’s difficult you can simply stick to the original line.

As such, it’s a very singable song for men with lower voices.

RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION96rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite” (M-1 Grand Prix 2024 Promotion Video Theme Song)

People in their late 20s to early 30s are the generation that lived through the golden age of Japanese rock.

Among those bands, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION was especially popular with men.

Of all their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Rewrite.

It stays in a low register for much of the track, which makes the chorus feel explosively open by contrast, and the almost roar-like phrases really fire up the crowd.

Because the verses sit so low, it’s tempting to raise the key, but if you match it to that, the chorus will be tough—so find a comfortable middle ground and sing in a moderately adjusted key.

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.

While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.

That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!

Blue HabitatTatsuya Kitani98rank/position

Where Our Blue Is / Tatsuya Kitani

This is a song sung by Tatsuya Kitani that awakens the brilliance of youth—something many of us have experienced at least once—and the bittersweet memories that come with it.

The sense of loss when friendships that once felt like they would last forever change shape over time and become something you can never touch again.

Those complex feelings ride on a fresh yet faintly melancholic melody that is sure to sink deeply into listeners’ hearts.

This track is the title song of an EP released in July 2023 and was chosen as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen, “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death.” It also received a Special Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a perfect song to hum along to with friends on a summer drive or to sing at karaoke while pouring in the emotions of those days.
