What VK songs do you slay at karaoke?

Recommended Posts

Went out drinking last night and found out one of the other regulars at an izakaya I frequent used to be a big X/BUCK-TICK/L'Arc fan and lots of drunken VK karaoke ensued, which got me thinking...

 

Which songs do you like to karaoke or feel pretty confident about? I think compared to J-pop, VK can be pretty hard to do justice to sometimes, but I'm pretty good at smashing in the park when it comes to:

 

Kuroyume - "Yasashii Higeki"

Cascade - "Sexy Sexy" / "Strawberry Moon"

Gackt - "Mizerable"

Golden Bomber - "Memeshikute"

L'Arc~en~Ciel - "Niji" and  "Blurry Eyes"

Psycho le Cemu - "Michi no Sora"

Dir en grey - "Akuro no Oka"

Janne Da Arc - "Rainy ~Ai no Shirabe~"

BUCK-TICK - "Just One More Kiss"

Siam Shade - "1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou"

 

 

Curious to see what you guys are good at singing / love to sing. :D

I'm not PARTICULARLY good at any of them but I enjoy singing them all. I try to do as many all night karaokes as humanly possible every time I'm in Japan and basically attempt anything that doesn't contain a lot of growling. I mostly do Dir en grey since that's what I'm most familiar with lyrics-wise in advance but I always try to go along with anything VK other people choose too. If I have to choose though, then Dir en grey's JEALOUS and unknown...despair...a lost has a special spot in my heart (and karaoke playlist.)

Well, I've never been to Japan, or a karaoke bar, but I do think I slay at "Faith" and "love around" by e.mu. I listened to those two so much throughout the years, I don't even need the lyrics, especially with "love around" XDD

I'm not much of a singer and I don't go to karaoke often, but I did okay with L'Arc~en~Ciel's "Blurry Eyes" once. I sang along to it so many times in my teens that the words are firmly embedded in my mind, so it didn't really matter that I couldn't read the kanji on the screen. I also sang ELLEGARDEN's "Jamie" that time, but it's not VK and it's in English, so I guess that doesn't really count.

None? My range is so limited, and all the vocalists either sing too low or too high. I just sound like a croaky frog when I try. Not that that stops me. I can usually get out most of Lareine's Blue Romance, but not when anyone is around to hear.

I'm too self conscious to sing. I have no singing ability and I'm tone deaf, plus have never been to a karaoke. 

But I hope one day I can try a song from one of the bands I like.

I tend to stick to slower songs so I can keep up with reading the lyrics. The one exception to that is Sayonara Rain by Merry. I always liked singing along to the piano version in the car so I know it better than a lot of other fast songs.

 

The rest of my regular rotation:

Cassis- Gazette

Gackt- Todokanai Ai to Shitteita no ni Osaekirezu ni Aishitsuzuketa

L'arc~en~ciel- Pieces (sometimes I try Honey or Driver's High)

Dir en Grey- Ain't afraid to die

Pierrot- Dramatic Neo Anniversary

 

This thread is giving me a lot of ideas for other songs I should be able to try next time I go!

Dir en grey "the final"

Dir an grey "cage"

Dir an grey "yokan"

Gazette " guren"

Gazette "an uncertain sense"

Gazette "Kara uta"

Gazette "the invisible wall" 

Gazette "to dazzling darkness"

Vamps " ahead"

Vamps "replay"

Sadie "kagerou"

Miyavi "guard you"

Alice nine "eraser"

Alice nine "white prayer"

Alice nine "ruri no ame"

Yohio "sky limit"

Gackt " jesus"

Nocturnal bloodlust "sphere"

Nocturnal bloodlust "libra"

 

Like sparrow, I tend to stick with songs that have a slower delivery of their vocals or have short singing lines so I can read the lyrics and follow better.

ohh man i miss karaoking :< i am by no means good at singing but i do enjoy singing most of plastic tree's songs, particularly yume no shima, andro metamorphose, and bambi.

there's literally a tag for pierrot's yuuyami suicide on last.fm saying "songs i like to sing" so i tried it out one night and now it's one of my faves to sing as well!

 

i haven't tried singing a lot of vk songs because they're too fast for me and i suck lol. but i tried some slower songs like "reila" by the gazette, and "これを依存と呼ぶなら" by mejibray a couple times, which were quite fun.

 

i really wish i could go karaoking again so i could master all of these and try out more songs.

My singing voice is in the contralto range and find Ryuutaro’s meek child like singing voice to be quite similar to mine, so I have no problem singing any Plastic Tree songs! XD

I always mess up at karaoke, drunk or not drunk, lol. ラヴェーゼ's Nightmare was interesting to do in the early morning hours in Tokyo :D 

I can do some semilegit kote-screams tho. One more gin & tonic, please...
