The Police – Every Breath You Take (Official Music Video)

A signature song by The Police, the band Sting belonged to and who is still active as a solo artist at the forefront today.

While The Police initially gave the impression of having many punkish numbers and tracks with reggae-like rhythms, Every Breath You Take is unusual in their catalog—yet it became their biggest hit.

It’s a very sophisticated number, so if you’re in your 50s, be sure to sing it coolly in front of the younger crowd!

Give Me EverythingPitbull9rank/position

Pitbull – Give Me Everything ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer

It’s pretty up-tempo, so it’s hard to sing, but I think it’ll get people hyped.

It’s more of a song to enjoy listening to than singing.

That said, if you can sing it, it’s really cool, and there’s no doubt the audience will definitely get into it.

A single by the Bee Gees released in 1977.

In Japanese, the title is “Ai wa Kirameki no Naka ni,” and it was featured on the soundtrack of the film Saturday Night Fever.

It has been covered many times; more recently, a cover by the British male group Take That became a hit.

It’s a refreshing song, so it might be a good choice to end a karaoke session.

Bon Jovi – You Give Love A Bad Name

Among the Bon Jovi songs people in their 40s used to listen to, I think this is the one that gets everyone most hyped.

If you mention Tsubaki Oniyako’s song, younger people might recognize it—that song.

From the opening shout of “Shot through the heart,” it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.

It’s a song released in 1994 by the American punk band Green Day, and people who played in bands when they were young might often have covered it.

Although it’s punk, it has a cheerful vibe with relatively little aggression, and since it’s a mid-tempo track with a sense of drive, it’s easy to sing and great for getting the crowd going.

Led by Jay Kay, Jamiroquai is a British acid jazz group, and this 1996 smash hit—featuring a very famous music video starring Jay Kay himself—is widely known.

It’s been used in commercials and parodied, making it highly recognizable in Japan as well, and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

We Are the ChampionsQueen14rank/position

Queen – We Are The Champions (Official Video)

Released in 1977, this song is loved worldwide as an anthem celebrating sporting victories.

Freddie Mercury’s powerful vocals and the sing-along friendliness that invites the crowd are its key charms.

Its popularity remains strong, having even been chosen as an official theme song for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

When sung by a large crowd in a stadium, it can make you feel as if you yourself are the champion.

It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to feel the bond with your teammates or celebrate life’s victories.
