BEAMSBlack Dream
A track by Kuroyume featuring charismatic singer Kiyoharu, who’s also active with SADS and as a solo artist! It was used in a nostalgic cassette tape commercial, in which the members of Kuroyume also appeared.
That commercial appearance helped Kuroyume gain widespread recognition and became a springboard to their breakthrough.
With Kiyoharu’s distinctive look and a voice that winds around you, it’s a brisk rock number that leaves a strong impression on both eyes and ears.
scabHidenori Chiwata
Singer-songwriter Hidenori Chiwata, who made headlines when he resumed activities in 2007 under his real name, Isao Chiwata, released the single “Kasabuta” on April 23, 2003.
The track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Zatch Bell!.
Its lyrics, which evoke the struggles of youth and hope for the future, are likely to bring back memories for those now in their 30s.
It’s also a great choice for karaoke, but be careful not to lose the rhythm, as the melody has many subtle rises and falls and the tempo is fast.
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS
A song by THE BLUE HEARTS that many people of this generation with band experience have played at least once.
It was used as the theme song for the drama High School Graffiti 2 starring Yuki Saito.
Since 2010, commercials have aired featuring many actresses and actors—such as Aoi Miyazaki and Kasumi Arimura—singing this song.
Along with other famous tracks by THE BLUE HEARTS, this song is also performed by school brass bands as a cheer song for high school baseball.
ultra soulB’z
This is a hard rock number by B’z that powerfully expresses a soul’s cry to keep pushing the limits.
The lyrics, which portray facing oneself and chasing dreams, brilliantly capture the doubts and inner struggles we all encounter at life’s crossroads.
Takahiro Matsumoto’s dynamic guitar and Koshi Inaba’s soaring vocals blend perfectly, injecting a strong surge of energy into the listener’s heart.
Released in March 2001, it was chosen as the official theme song for the FINA World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka that same year.
Also included on the album “GREEN” and performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, this track gives a boost to anyone striving in their work or life.
It’s the perfect cheer song to belt out with close friends when you get together.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Golden Bomber
Speaking of songs that get everyone hyped regardless of age or gender, we can’t forget this one! Golden Bomber has performed this song multiple times on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, so it’s well-known across generations.
Although it was released in 2009, it’s still a popular track you’ll hear on TV and at karaoke.
While the original band’s gimmick is being an “air band,” it’s also a great, cool song to perform properly as a cover band.
The lyrics candidly depict the clingy feelings of a heartbroken man and are said to be based on vocalist Kiryuuin’s real experiences.
It’s a song everyone can sing together and get excited about!
MisterKARA
A track where a rhythmic melody, a sweet, seductive vocal, and a danceable sound blend together beautifully.
Released in August 2010 as a Japanese version by the Korean girl group KARA, this song captured many hearts as an up-tempo dance-pop number.
Many people probably remember copying its memorable “hip dance” moves.
If you want to liven up a karaoke session with friends, belt it out together and the party mood will soar to the max.
Love SongGReeeeN
For people of this generation, I think you witnessed GReeeeN from their debut to when they became a popular band.
This song is one of the most beloved among fans and was performed relatively early in their career.
It’s bright and catchy, making it a karaoke favorite and easy to sing in a wide range of situations.
This track was a massive hit with an astonishing number of tie-ins; more than eight companies used it in commercials and TV programs, making it highly popular in the media as well.
