Gen Hoshino – Koi (Official Video)

A singer-songwriter who continues to broaden his activities with his multifaceted talents in music, acting, and writing—Gen Hoshino’s ninth single.

Used as the theme song for the TV drama “Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu” (We Married as a Job), its catchy melody and dance performance became a social phenomenon, making it a song that virtually every teenage girl knows.

The leaps in the melody and its fast pace may make it feel difficult, but because it’s catchy and easy to remember, you’ll be able to sing it with practice.

It’s a highly recommended number that everyone can get excited about at karaoke, especially when paired with the dance.

Tetris / Kasane Teto SV

Despite its comical sound design, including quotes from the Russian folk song Korobeiniki, the lyrics are sprinkled with words that evoke the famous game Tetris and exude a contemporary darkness, showcasing the high degree of creative freedom characteristic of Vocaloid—a 2024 hit.

Tetris is a track released in November 2024 by the popular Vocaloid producer Hiiragi Magnetite, featuring the upgraded version of Kasane Teto—known for originating from a meme—called Kasane Teto SV.

With countless “I tried singing” cover videos, many people have likely heard it somewhere.

For those immersed in internet culture—especially teens for whom YouTubers are a given—it’s a song that makes you smirk while singing along.

"The Voice of the Sea" Full ver. / Urashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani) [Official]

The gentle melody and the manly yet soft singing voice are wonderful.

It’s sung by Kenta Kiritani, the actor known as Urashima Taro.

It became popular as a commercial song for a mobile phone company.

It was released as a digital single in 2015.

You might find it easier to sing if you open your mouth wide like he does!

Marunouchi Sadistic

It’s one of Ringo Sheena’s best-known smash hits… or so it seems, but if you look it up properly, it was actually released in 1999.

It’s included on her second album, “Muzai Moratorium,” though it was never released as a single.

The song has also been performed by Tokyo Jihen, the band from Sheena’s other activities.

In 2024—23 years after its release—it surpassed 200 million streams, making it a song emblematic of the subscription era.

I don’t think Sheena’s songs are particularly difficult in terms of key.

However, the challenging elements—such as the complexity of the vocabulary in the lyrics, her distinctive rolled r’s, and the contrasting use of a clear, translucent voice and a raw, powerful belt—are likely why it’s so frequently sung at karaoke.

Beyond the basics of hitting pitch and keeping rhythm, try to make those diverse forms of expression your own and give it a sing.

Shonan no Kaze “Junrenka” MUSIC VIDEO (Original ver.)

Shonan no Kaze’s “Junrenka,” released on March 8, 2006.

Its lyrics, which exude a masculine, down-to-earth feel, resonated with listeners and made it a long-running hit.

The main vocal part is in a comfortable range for teenage male singers, so aim for a pleasant tone.

If you’re singing it at karaoke, we recommend splitting the parts and performing with multiple people.

The final big chorus will get everyone hyped if you all sing together.

The very last chorus is a solo for the main vocalist, so sing it gently and with feeling.

Kenshi Yonezu – Lemon

A song by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu, written specifically as the theme for the TV drama “Unnatural.” Recognized across generations through its role as a drama theme, over 100 million video views, and a performance at the 2018 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, this track can be considered a karaoke favorite that everyone can sing along to.

Overall, the key is low and the song is easy to sing, but be careful—if you let your guard down, your voice may go sharp during the high notes in the chorus.

Also, because the rhythm has a bounce, being able to feel and ride the rhythm will help you stand out at karaoke, so it’s a good idea to listen closely at home before you go.

Ayaka – Crescent Moon

Her husband is that handsome actor, Hiro Mizushima.

This is Ayaka’s 4th single, “Mikazuki.” It was a huge hit and was performed on NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen, and it’s one of her signature songs.

The theme is a long-distance relationship, with a positive message: “We’re connected when we look at the moon.” I think it’s a song where you can fully bring out femininity.

It’s a slow ballad, but it has subtle musical shifts, so be sure to follow them closely.

If you sing it with rich expression, you’ll really move the hearts of the guys, too.
