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.

One of the most talked-about rappers in the current MC battle scene is Pilaf Seijin.

He has a lot of haters, but just as many fans, and his streaming numbers are exceptional for a rapper.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Knock Knock.

While it’s not a particularly low-range piece, the vocal line is simple, so even men with lower voices can sing it comfortably.
