Soran BushiHokkaido folk song
If it’s a folk song everyone knows, it’s a sure bet! The Soran Bushi, a traditional song beloved especially in Hokkaido.
Centered on herring fishermen heading out to sea, this stirring piece conjures vivid scenes just by listening.
For some, it may bring back memories of the dance scene from the TV drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B.” If you’re from the north, it might feel especially nostalgic.
It’s a karaoke recommendation that will instantly liven up the room—sing it with passion!
Talent, my foot.Afternoon tea
A hyper-pop track by the Vocaloid producer Gogo-Tea, known for winning numerous awards with songs like “COMPLEX” and “divide.” The quietly unfolding first verse is easy to sing in a calm manner, so even people who don’t usually sing Vocaloid songs might find it approachable! To capture the song’s vibe, try keeping a tight, subtle vertical groove with your rhythm.
In contrast, the chorus—an explosive release of inexplicable youthful impulse—should be belted out with all your energy.
The lyrics are highly relatable, so they may strike a chord with listeners.

A graduation ceremony marks the end of student life.
The perfect song for that special day is this track by Namu Abedabutsu.

The lyrics, filled with the sadness of parting, hope for the future, and feelings of gratitude, are sure to resonate deeply with students facing graduation.
This down-to-earth youth anthem, sung over a powerful punk rock beat, is perfect for looking back on memories with friends.
Highly recommended for those who want to get everyone fired up at a graduation live show or farewell party.
Sakura GroundThe cause lies with me.
The boy group Genin wa Jibun ni Aru.
was formed through the debut project “BATTLE STREET.” Their debut was announced at the live show “BATTLE BOYS LIVE 2019 ~DREAMS COME TRUE~” by their labelmates BATTLE BOYS, which drew considerable attention.
Not only are their songs excellent, but they also actively hold events and concerts where fans can interact with the artists—one of their key attractions.
If you become a fan after listening to their music, I highly recommend going to see them in person.
Funeral ImmortalKanari
Singer Kanari is loved not only for her work but also for her success story.
In 2014, she raised funds through crowdfunding and released an album.
That album went on to win numerous music awards, propelling her into stardom.
Once you hear her singing—interweaving low and high notes that showcase her wide vocal range—it’s easy to see why so many people wanted to support her.
Incidentally, it also made headlines in 2022 when Aichi Prefecture produced a tourism PR video in collaboration with Kanari.
The video highlights her warm personality.
Let the cherry blossoms bloomYoshida Yamada
Formed by classmates from their high school days, the duo Yoshida Yamada began their full-fledged music career after a training stint in New York before their debut.
Their 13th single, “Sakura Sake,” used as the ending theme for the TV anime Hinomaru Sumo, stirs the heart with their trademark beautiful harmonies and a clear, transparent ensemble.
The lyrics evoke images of striving toward one’s dreams, which seems to resonate with the spring atmosphere—a season when many people embark on new beginnings.
It’s a lyrical number that also makes a great BGM choice for spring events like cherry-blossom viewing.

Outside, it’s a night of white snow.Takuro Yoshida
“Soto wa Shiroi Yuki no Yoru” (“A Night of White Snow Outside”) was released in 1978 and composed by Takuro Yoshida and Takashi Matsumoto.
The arrangement is sparse, which brings the vocals to the forefront.
It’s a song you can sing even if high notes aren’t your strength, so it’s a great choice to practice for karaoke.
The melody is wonderfully moving without being overly somber.
