The toughest, absolute No. 1FEEL SO BAD

FEEL SO BAD – Super-Powered Strongest No.1 [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

In the opening theme of Hell Teacher Nūbē, aside from the shouts in the middle, the overall tempo is slow and the key is low, so it should be easy for men to sing.

The most exciting part is when it gets to the chorus.

Anyone who watched Nūbē will definitely sing along to the chorus.

Shooting StarKOTOKO

KOTOKO’s “Shooting Star” is tough for a man to sing as-is, so you’ll need to lower the key at karaoke.

It’s the theme song from the first entry in the Onegai series, “Please Teacher!” If your karaoke buddy is a hardcore anime fan in their 30s, they’ll definitely be moved to tears by the nostalgia.

Butter-FlyKoji Wada

There are songs we heard as children that still resonate with us even as adults.

The theme song of Digimon Adventure sung by Kouji Wada is exactly one of those tracks.

As his debut work, combined with Wada’s distinctive vocal quality, it became a memorable masterpiece for many.

Its lyrics about dreams and hope, setbacks and comebacks, will resonate with people in their thirties as well.

Released in April 1999, the song is loved not only by anime fans but by a wide range of age groups.

Sing it at karaoke, and you’re sure to share a warm sense of nostalgia with friends of the same generation.

MagiaKalafina

Kalafina　『Magia』

From the lyrics and musical style, no one would think this is a theme song from a magical girl anime.

It’s the ending theme of the well-known “Puella Magi Madoka Magica.” Although the singer is female, the grand arrangement and darker lyrics mean that if the music video were live-action, you could sing it even to someone unfamiliar with anime without them realizing it’s an anime song—and if they do like anime, they’re guaranteed to get excited with you.

This is the opening theme for the second cour of Season 2 of the Nippon TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” which skillfully expresses the mystery and wonder of kotodama—the spiritual power of words.

Created by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE in April 2025, the piece brilliantly fuses an oriental atmosphere with band-driven sound.

Interweaving contrasting elements like the moon and the sun, love and apology, it powerfully sings of an eternal love that lasts into the next life.

Like a medicine that can both heal and harm, this grand work delves deeply into the duality of emotions and the power inherent in words.

For karaoke, we recommend singing with heartfelt emotion, keeping in mind vocalist Motoki Omori’s richly expressive delivery.
