YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA

[MV] YAH YAH YAH / CHAGE and ASKA

Loved as one of CHAGE and ASKA’s signature songs, it’s been a karaoke staple for many years.

While the song’s overall appeal lies in its refreshing vibe, the chorus makes you want to thrust your fist in the air and belt it out with passion! It’s a versatile track that works great solo or as a group sing-along.

Perfect for when you want to shout-sing and feel refreshed, or when you want to crank up the energy in an instant.

It’s a timeless classic loved across generations, so it’s a safe pick at any karaoke where the crowd might vary.

Let It GoTakako Matsu

Takako Matsu – Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~ (From “Frozen”)

This song, which appeared in the film Frozen, is especially popular among young women as the perfect track for blowing off stress.

It starts off with a calm atmosphere, but gradually unfolds into a soaring, grand melody toward the chorus.

As it progresses into the latter half, it keeps heating up, so you can raise your energy and sing with increasing excitement.

The vocal range should be manageable for women with an average voice range, so it ought to feel great to sing!

The world calls it love.Sambomaster

Sambomaster “The World Calls It Love” Charity Concert

Sambomaster is a rock band that keeps shouting passionate, love-filled messages.

They’re gentle yet fiery, and their messages really pierce the heart.

Of course you’ll want to belt out the chorus, but the part right before the final big chorus is also where everyone should join voices and shout together! Singing it out loud not only feels cathartic, but it’s also a heartwarming love song.

It’s well-known and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, so it’s highly recommended for karaoke.

Go for it!!Ulfuls

Ulfuls – Guts da ze!!

Wulfuls songs have a high-energy, fiery vibe, don’t they? Just like the title “Guts da ze!!,” this track begs to be sung with full-on passion and shouts! While the band sound is front and center, the synths are striking too, giving it a super danceable finish.

It’s guaranteed to hype up any karaoke session, and if you can sing it with a powerful voice like Tortoise Matsumoto’s, you’ll feel totally refreshed! The chorus is the perfect spot to let loose and yell, but let’s all shout it together here!

Mori Calliope, a VTuber popular among overseas audiences, boasts high vocal ability—unsurprising given that her performer is an established international singer—and delivers outstanding performances even in Japanese, which she’s less familiar with.

She can handle anything from cute tunes to sharp-edged rock, but among her tracks, the one I recommend for a shout-along is Black Sheep.

It features many mid-range shout phrases, so it’s a great pick if you like songs in the vein of Ado.

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN「kaleido proud fiesta」TIGER & BUNNY 2 Animation MV

For those who want to blow away the stress built up at school or work, “kaleido proud fiesta” is highly recommended.

Released in 2022 by the rock band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN—known for their vibrant, dynamic sound—it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime TIGER & BUNNY 2.

Its fast-paced, passionate band sound is truly stirring.

Belt this song out at full power and even those weighed down by worries or anxiety will feel refreshed.

Why not relieve some stress with this energetic track?

metropolisCrystal King

Daitokai – Crystal King

Crystal King’s signature song “Daitokai” was released in 1979, but I’m sure many people from younger generations have heard it.

The chorus, in particular, is striking for its overwhelmingly high notes, and once you hear it, it really sticks with you! Belting out that chorus is bound to feel amazing.

Even if you can’t sing it perfectly and end up just shouting, that’s totally fine—give it a try and blow off some stress!
