[2025 Edition] Western songs that are cool if you can sing! — From the latest hits to classics (101–110)
AngryThe Rolling Stones
The legendary British rock band, the Rolling Stones.
The song they released as the lead single from their album “Hackney Diamonds” is “Angry.” It’s also been a hot topic because it’s the theme song for a TV drama airing in Japan.
The track itself is classic rock, built around the repetition of striking phrases.
Since the same lyrics appear repeatedly, it’s relatively easy to remember.
By the way, there’s a Japanese-subtitled music video, so it’s a good idea to watch it and practice while checking the meaning of the lyrics.
Out of TimeThe Weeknd
The Weeknd is a Canadian singer-songwriter who has earned worldwide acclaim for a style that incorporates synth-pop—a genre that was trendy in the 1980s—into R&B.
In Japan as well, his signature track “Blinding Lights” was a major hit.
A track from his catalog that would be especially cool to sing is “Out of Time.” This song also draws on synth-pop, but because it carries a fundamentally dark atmosphere, it leaves an overall cool impression.
If you can pull it off, you’re sure to stand out at karaoke!
Take My BreathThe Weeknd
A genre that has been trending since the 2020s is synth-pop.
It was a boom in the 1980s, and it came back into trend thanks to artists like The Weeknd and Bruno Mars.
A classic by The Weeknd, a pioneer of this modern synth-pop, is Take My Breath.
It’s a very cool piece that layers R&B vocals over a track that feels like a mix of synth-pop and disco music.
Got Me StartedTroye Sivan
Let me introduce “Got Me Started,” a track with a pleasant city pop-inspired sound.
It’s a song released by Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan, included on his album “Something to Give Each Other.” The standout charm of this piece is its sound, which samples Bag Raiders’ “Shooting Stars.” The lively production energizes the atmosphere and also helps create a cool impression.
Born This WayLady Gaga
As an anthem of self-acceptance and diversity, this signature song by Lady Gaga has captured hearts around the world.
The American artist powerfully sings about embracing oneself as you are and the importance of respecting individuality.
Released in February 2011, the track became the 1,000th song in history to reach No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In 2019, it was also used as the theme song for the Japanese film “The Fable,” earning broad acclaim.
It’s a perfect choice for anyone who wants to cherish their true self or needs a boost of positivity.

This HellRina Sawayama
Rina Sawayama is a singer-songwriter from Japan.
She made headlines for holding her first Japan tour in 2023.
Speaking of her signature songs, it has to be “This Hell.” It’s crafted as an empowering anthem that portrays a woman standing up to an unjust world.
That makes it perfect for anyone who wants to sing a song with a bold, passionate message.
Overall, it’s up-tempo and stays in a high register, but since many of the same phrases repeat, the lyrics are relatively easy to memorize.
Don’t Wait UpShakira
Shakira, a singer-songwriter from Colombia who is beloved worldwide as an icon of Latin music, has been active at the forefront for many years and continued to produce various hit songs in 2021.
Of her works, the one I especially recommend is “Don’t Wait Up,” released in June 2021.
It’s dance music rooted in deep house, combining a danceable sound with a highly stylish vibe.
