Even people who usually enjoy listening to Western music often find themselves hitting the brakes when it comes to singing it at karaoke.

We’ve gathered a wide selection across genres, focusing on the latest hits and popular tracks.

We’ve also included a few quick tips for actually singing them, so be sure to check it out!

Imagine Dragons’ “Sharks” cranks up the energy right from the bass in the intro.

With its stylish mid-tempo vibe, it’s a crowd-pleaser even for people who don’t usually listen to rock.

There are whisper-like parts, so make sure to bring the mic close to your mouth to capture that breathy tone.

Also, tapping the rhythm with your foot while you sing enhances the song’s groove.

Practice well and give it a try in your performance!

Singer-songwriter Jason Mraz has continued to drop hit tunes while collaborating with skilled artists from around the world.

His new track “I Feel Like Dancing” is one of his most high-voltage songs, arranged as a contemporary funk piece.

Its overall structure is similar to Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk.” There aren’t many Japanese singers who can truly nail funk, so I encourage you to give it a try.

Released in June 2023 as part of the soundtrack for the film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, this track was produced by Metro Boomin and features Swae Lee, NAV, and A Boogie wit da Hoodie.

It’s a moving R&B number that sings of a strong resolve to protect a loved one, further expanding the film’s world.

Within the dark atmosphere woven by heavy bass and synthesizers, the romantic lyrics resonate deeply.

It has captured the hearts of many as a song that encourages self-reflection and gives a gentle push before taking a new step forward.

Chris Brown, an R&B singer from the United States who has been active for many years since the 2000s.

If you like R&B, you’ve probably heard his songs at least once, even in Japan.

Among his works, the track I especially recommend is Iffy.

It’s a piece rooted in hip-hop trap music, with R&B and trap elements mixed in a perfectly balanced way.

Definitely give it a try in your practice.

One of the most important bands in predicting the 2024 rock scene, London’s The Last Dinner Party released their debut single “Nothing Matters” in 2023—a superb track of astonishing maturity for a newcomer.

Its dark, dramatic atmosphere, sweeping chorus, and passionate, poetic lyrics that romantically portray a fleeting, fragile relationship seize listeners’ hearts.

To really bring out its theatrical, gothic mood, cast off your inhibitions and sing boldly, almost like you’re on stage.

And since they’re set to appear at Fuji Rock 2024, be sure to try it at karaoke with your Fuji Rock friends!

MILLION DOLLAR BABYTommy Richman

In the Western music scene of 2024, one of the biggest breakouts was surely Tommy Richman, born in 2000 and hailing from Virginia.

He’s far from a flash-in-the-pan artist—he’s been making and sharing tracks on SoundCloud since his teens, and he’s a multitalented creator with roots in hip-hop and R&B as well as rock and punk, plus experience studying opera.

His breakthrough track, MILLION DOLLAR BABY, is definitely one to try at karaoke spots popular with early-adopter music fans, but many listeners might find it tricky to stay on pitch amid the psychedelic production, starting with the falsetto that hits right from the opening.

The chorus is so catchy that it sticks after a single listen, so start by reading the lyrics and singing exactly as you hear it.

Once you’ve mastered the easy-to-sing chorus, a good practice method is to gradually get comfortable with the other sections, too!
