Karaoke is all the rage: Must-know recent songs [2025]

Pop music writer/editorKEI
A style that keeps updating my favorites while loving mainstream and hit songs. I have experience writing articles for outlets like Utaten. Since I discovered music as a student, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. 2000s J-POP and 2010s K-POP were my youth, and I’m also loosely into jazz and R&B. I enjoy good music across genres with a “good is good” mindset. Thanks to my past work environment (and its influence), I listened to a lot of classic rock and kayōkyoku, which may have broadened my tastes. At RAG MUSIC, I mainly cover K-POP. I focus on reviews that emphasize feelings people can relate to, and on editing aligned with local pride and hit potential. Thank you!

You might go for company drinking parties, class reunions, or even on your own.

Bunny GirlAKASAKI

Bunny Girl is a smash hit you can’t go a day without hearing on Instagram or TikTok.

It’s a signature track by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI that went viral through social media.

While the song has an overall light and breezy feel, the vocal line surprisingly sits mostly in the lower register, with a very narrow range.

That makes it easy for men with lower voices who struggle with high notes to sing without issue.

If you want it to sound even better, try singing as if you’re exhaling your breath forward.

Berry Goodman “Become the soil that makes flowers bloom, rather than the flowers themselves” Music Video (NHK ‘Minna no Uta’ December 2024–January 2025)

An anthem for life that shines a light on people who devote themselves to others’ happiness and success.

Written specifically for NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” the song was released as a digital single in December 2024 and is also included on the album “Thank You.” The animated video, hand-drawn with ink and watercolor on washi paper, leaves a gentle impression.
