WANIMA Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2025]
WANIMA, a leading band in today’s youth punk scene.
They have many songs with Japanese lyrics, which I think is one reason they’re so widely loved.
While they have lots of melodic, fast-tempo tracks, their ballads can really make you cry.
Here are some of WANIMA’s popular karaoke songs.

WANIMA’s hit song “Tomoni.” While many of its lyrics are negative, the chorus suddenly shifts to a highly positive message, and that strong contrast made the track popular with many listeners.
In this piece, the lowest note is mid1 F and the highest is hi C#, which is a relatively wide range for a male vocal song.
However, the hi C# only appears twice in the first verse’s A section; the song is basically structured with hi A# as the top note, so with key adjustment it can be quite singable.
Since it tends to have fewer natural breakpoints, lowering the key by one step from your optimal key may work better when actually singing.

This song carries a powerful message of moving forward while staying close to everyday anxieties and doubts.
Set to WANIMA’s signature energetic punk rock sound, it conveys the importance of taking on challenges without striving for perfection.
The track is included on the album “Everybody!!” and was released in January 2018.
It was performed with 1,000 18-year-olds on a special NHK General program, and was also used as the theme song for Lotte Ice’s “Sou” commercial.
It’s a heartfelt anthem for those who feel uncertain about the future or are about to take a new step forward.

This song was released on August 13, 2025.
Since it’s mostly composed in the low-mid to high-mid range, I think it’s relatively easy to sing in terms of vocal range.
There’s a C5 in the first and last chorus, and it feels great if you ride the melody and push it out with momentum there.
It has WANIMA’s signature rock vibe with a distinctive rhythm, so let’s lock in a few key points.
The song actually starts from the chorus, and it kicks off on the offbeat.
It’s fine to place the accent on the first beat, so make sure to line up firmly there.
The A section has rap elements, so rhythm matters more than pitch.
Try using your hands like you’re shaking maracas and keep time at double speed.
It’s a short track at about three minutes, but it sounds really cool if you can nail it—definitely give it a try at karaoke!
MatatabiWANIMA4rank/position

WANIMA, a punk-leaning rock band boasting top-tier popularity.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Matatabi.” It’s the theme song for the anime “Night of the Living Cat,” and, for WANIMA, it’s unusually shaped into a pretty hardcore melody.
In the middle of the track, there’s a shout that’s almost like a scream, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments in the song—so if you sing it at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
DriveWANIMA5rank/position

A three-piece rock band, WANIMA, fires up listeners with their exhilarating melodic hardcore sound and powerful, straightforward message—this is their third digital-only single.
Chosen as the theme song for the movie OVER DRIVE, the track features WANIMA’s signature harmonies layered over a catchy melody that really amps you up.
The fast tempo makes it challenging, but its refreshing arrangement guarantees a great time at karaoke.
It’s an emotional rock tune that’s fun to belt out with energy rather than focusing on intricate technique.
Yesterday's SongWANIMA6rank/position

In general, WANIMA’s songs are thought to be high-energy and high-pitched.
If you feel the difficulty might be high but still want to try something that gets the crowd going, we recommend “Kinou no Uta” (“Yesterday’s Song”).
Included on their first mini-album “Can Not Behaved!!,” this track has a very simple structure and a relatively narrow vocal range, making it approachable even for those who struggle with high notes.
And above all, its standout feature is how short it is—less than a minute long, even including the intro.
Sing it with momentum and make it sound cool!

An energetic rock number that lifts your spirits just by listening.
Created by WANIMA in January 2017 for a new commercial in au’s Santaro series, this piece is a rock arrangement of a folk song everyone knows.
It’s a motivational anthem that gives you a push when you want to find the courage to start something new.
Included on the album “Everybody!!” released in January 2018, it topped the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart.
Celebrating the greatness of facing forward and taking on challenges, this song is the perfect cheer anthem for students and for anyone about to dive into a new environment.
