Love Is Checkmated Music Video / AKB48 64th Single [Official]

AKB48 is an idol group that has continued to gain popularity over many years.

While today’s idols—like those in K-pop—tend to focus on high-level vocals and dance performances, AKB48 still sticks to catchy musicality and performances.

I think many teenage girls have at least heard some of their songs.

Among AKB48’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Koi Tsumjatta.” It features a melody that evokes the Heisei era, with every section arranged into a catchy, easy-to-sing vocal line.

Give it a try!

"Spell" by Ado

Just two years after her major debut, Ado has become a Reiwa-era songstress and a singer Japan can proudly present to the world.

Her 18th digital-only single, Show, selected as a collaboration track for Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event “Halloween Horror Nights,” boosts your excitement with its oriental-tinged ensemble contrasted by Ado’s vocals.

The rapidly shifting arrangement and melody are challenging, but once you nail it, karaoke becomes a lot more fun.

It’s an eccentric number that we hope teenage girls will sing together with friends to really get the party going.

This song is perfect for teenage girls who want to hear a track that captures the bittersweetness of love.

Released by Conton Candy in April 2023, it became a big hit on TikTok.

Many listeners will relate to the lyrics, which revolve around the theme of sweet-and-sour first love.

With its mid-tempo pace and steady vocal range, it’s easy to try even if you’re not confident at karaoke.

Featuring Tsumui’s distinctive vocals, this track is sure to get the crowd going, even when you’re at karaoke with someone you like.

It’s also a great pick for expressing your feelings just as they are through song.

Definitely consider adding it to your karaoke repertoire.

HoneyWorks, who gained nationwide popularity with “Kawaikute Gomen feat.

Chuutan,” are still a karaoke staple, right? They’re especially popular among teenage girls, aren’t they? Among HoneyWorks’ songs, the one I particularly recommend is “Sukicchuu no! feat.

Chuutan.” While the song features prominent high notes, it doesn’t actually span a wide vocal range, so even those who aren’t confident with high notes should find it easy to sing.

This is a song with lyrics brimming with self-affirmation.

The creator unit HoneyWorks produced it in November 2022, with voice actress Saori Hayami on vocals.

It became a huge hit on TikTok and has surpassed 32 million views on YouTube.

Its uptempo rhythm and powerful melody are striking, and it portrays a commitment to valuing one’s individuality.

Cover versions by various voice actors have also been drawing attention.

If you sing this song at karaoke with someone you’re interested in, you’re sure to show a confident side of yourself.

Teenage girls, give it a try!

Karaoke is a place where not only your singing ability but also your taste in music gets revealed.

Teenage girls are generally considered sensitive to trends, but of course not everyone fits that mold.

There are always some girls in class who like band music.

Don’t you get conflicted when you go to karaoke? Have you ever felt inferior to friends who sparkle like idols while singing the latest hits? In times like that, I recommend KANA-BOON’s “Naimononedari.” It’s easy on the ears even for people who aren’t used to band music, and it strikes a stylish balance between rock and pop.

The relatable lyrics are a must-hear, too! While you’re at it, why not turn your friends into band-music fans as well?

When it comes to classic karaoke songs, what comes to mind for you? I’m sure you have lots of favorites, but one I especially recommend is “Ai o Komete Hanataba o” by Superfly.

It’s popular across ages and genders and always gets the crowd going! It’s also perfect for expressing gratitude to family, friends, or a significant other.

Some people think it seems tough because of the high key and powerful vocals, but with proper practice, you can definitely achieve that volume and range! On the other hand, if you keep avoiding songs that seem difficult, you’ll lose the ability to sing them.

Highly recommended for teenage girls who want to improve their singing!
