PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Melissa (Short ver.)' / PORNOGRAFFITTI 'Melissa (Short Ver.)'

Because it was used in the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, it’s very well-known and easy to get the crowd excited.

It’s one of the songs I always choose when I go to karaoke.

This applies to Porno Graffitti’s songs in general, but since the pitch is high, I think men will need to adjust the key when singing.

Crimson Bow and ArrowLinked Horizon44rank/position

Crimson Bow and Arrow Red and White Special ver. Linked Horizon [MAD Fixes · Enhanced Quality]

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Attack on Titan.

It was also performed at the 2013 Kohaku Uta Gassen, so it’s well-known and easy to get people excited.

However, because the chorus is so famous, the other parts often don’t generate as much excitement.

YOASOBI "Idol" Official Music Video

A YOASOBI song that portrays the struggles of a protagonist aiming to become the ultimate idol.

It carries deep messages about the gap between a perfect appearance and inner fragility, as well as the desire to love and be loved.

Released digitally in April 2023 as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oshi no Ko,” it received high acclaim on charts both in Japan and abroad.

Built on hip-hop elements with a gothic rock-tinged pop sound, its unique worldview is captivating.

It’s a must-listen for people in their 20s and guaranteed to get the crowd going at karaoke!

HabitSEKAI NO OWARI46rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「Habit」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s hit song “Habit.” Many listeners were likely astonished by this track, which departs from their usual fantastical worldview and instead delivers somewhat caustic, realistic lyrics.

As the groove is emphasized throughout, the song sits within a generally standard vocal range for a SEKAI NO OWARI track, from mid1 C to mid2 F.

However, since the highest note (mid2 F) appears fairly frequently, it may be better to lower the key slightly depending on the singer’s range.

While it’s overall on the easier side, there are several rap-like sections, so it’s recommended to firmly memorize the flow that matches the lyrics.

Bunny GirlAKASAKI47rank/position

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

AKASAKI’s hit song “Bunny Girl,” which went viral nationwide.

The vocal range in this track is from mid1 C to mid2 G, which is quite narrow for recent Japanese pop.

There’s a key change in the final chorus, but even so, the overall pitch movement is minimal, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

The vocal line also has gentle rises and falls, so it’s recommended for people who want to get the crowd going even if they’re not very confident in their singing.

If you want to sound more polished, try incorporating overtone techniques to add richness to the low–mid range.

If everyone sings together, it’ll be an absolute blast!

Lucky☆Star OP 'Motteke! Sailor Fuku' (with lyric subtitles)

This is the song used for the opening of the anime “Lucky☆Star.” In the opening sequence, the characters dance, and I remember learning that dance back then.

I can still do parts of it, so at karaoke I sing while dancing to liven things up.
