[For Teens] Crowd-Pleasing Gag Songs for Karaoke

Katana-P Christmas Theme Song 2022Peanut-kun

[MV] Peanut-kun – Christmas Theme Song 2022

Starting his career in 2017, the so-called earliest days of VTuber history, Peanut-kun has stood out from other VTubers with his unique, mascot-like look—briefs on a peanut-shaped head—and has consistently maintained his style as an independent creator.

Also known as a rapper, Peanut-kun released “Katana-P Christmas 2022” in 2022, a reggaeton-inspired track with a striking, faintly melancholic guitar intro.

In skillful flow, he sings about his almost excessive love for Tōya Kenmochi, another prominent VTuber.

Even without knowing that background, the song’s slightly deranged vibe still lands as a “good track,” striking a superb balance that made it a hit.

I’d love to see you perfect the MV’s choreography and belt it out at karaoke with all your heart!

[MV] Release Exercise - Amenbo Plus -

Amenbo Plus, a comedy YouTuber duo formed by childhood friends, has gained popularity while each member also wears multiple hats as an actor, writer, and more.

The song introduced here, “Kaihou Exercise,” was written, composed, and provided by the popular producer Chibanyan, based on the “Kaihou Exercise” used in their videos.

The word choices, perfectly matched to the addictive rhythm, showcase outstanding flair, and even those who aren’t particularly interested in baseball are sure to have a blast singing it at karaoke purely as a fun bit!

Peanuts-kun, who has one of the longest careers among independent VTubers, also has a musician side.

Every year he writes and releases a song dedicated to Tōya Kenmochi from Nijisanji, who is also a frequent collaborator of his, and this “Kata-P Christmas Theme Song 2023” is the 2023 edition.

Despite its high level of polish as a track with an emo-trap vibe, the lyrics—packed with Peanuts-kun’s overwhelmingly heavy feelings toward Kenmochi—are striking.

Even without knowing the backstory, the guitar-driven production that recalls overseas emo-rap and the heartrending vocals make it clear this is a wistful love song.

It’s great to sing in front of people who know the context, but it could be fun to perform it for folks who aren’t into VTubers, too!

Love♡Scream!

If you’re a teen who wants to sing a poppy, explosively cute song at karaoke, I highly recommend “Ai♡Scream!” It’s the debut single released in February 2025 by AiScReam, a limited-time unit from the Love Live! series, and just like the title suggests, it’s a love song that’s intensely sweet—like ice cream.

The spoken lines in the middle practically beg for a call-and-response at concerts, and it’s sure to hype up any karaoke session, too.

Honestly, it can even be a hilarious pick for guys to sing with friends on purpose!

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

As of April 2025, the official YouTube music video has an astounding 100 million-plus views.

Since its release in March 2023 by popular Vocaloid producer Yukopi, the hit song “Gale All Back” has been wildly popular.

Although it’s a Vocaloid track featuring “Kaai Yuki,” many people who don’t usually listen to Vocaloid have probably heard it at least once—or seen the humorous animated MV.

The lyrical perspective is clever, and it’s also fun to watch Kaai Yuki, wearing a school backpack, playing the recorder while being buffeted by the wind in the video.

It’s a great pick for karaoke not only for teens but also for families with young children.

When it comes to massive viral hits in recent years from HoneyWorks—the creative collective that has continuously led a music scene centered on internet culture since the 2010s—it has to be “Kawaikute Gomen” (“Sorry I’m Cute”).

Voice actor and artist Saori Hayami’s irresistibly cute vocals and the lyrics that are almost shamelessly adorable sparked huge buzz, and the MV’s choreography went explosively viral on social media, inspiring countless covers.

Its world that wholeheartedly affirms the self gives you a powerful boost.

And when you sing it at karaoke, don’t be shy—lean into the cuteness and really play up the “kawaii” factor.

Sure thing / Kocchino Kento MV

Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.

While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.

That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!
