Songs that are popular with men in their 20s; catchy tunes that appeal to men.

I’d rather die.Fuji Kaze

Fujii Kaze – Shinunoga E-Wa (Not a MV)

A standout masterpiece by Fujii Kaze, marked by a melody reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku.

There’s a dark, somewhat decadent atmosphere drifting through it.

This track is featured on the acclaimed album HELP EVER HURT NEVER, released in May 2020.

While Fujii Kaze is often associated with a refined R&B image, this work takes a turn, passionately singing of an ultimate love that would choose death over losing the beloved.

Its allure lies in the imbalance between a light, R&B-based sound and the depiction of intense obsession and devotion.

Sparked by social media, it exploded in popularity overseas, reaching No.

4 on Spotify’s global chart in 2022.

It’s the perfect song for those who want to express themselves with a selection that stands out from the crowd, or for nights when you want to fully immerse yourself in the world of music.

It’s a dope track featuring a mid-tempo, smoky four-on-the-floor beat interwoven with highly addictive vocals—a surefire hit that can captivate men of the age who want to act a bit more grown-up.

Let It GoMatsu Takako

Takako Matsu – Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~ (From “Frozen”)

It’s a song that became a massive hit as the theme for Frozen, and because it came out at just the right time for people in their 20s, it left an unforgettable impression—something you can’t get out of your head for life.

While it has a nostalgic atmosphere, the vocals are powerful, and it’s a song covered by all kinds of artists.

It’s also a track that can make even men’s hearts skip a beat—a genuinely attractive, attention-grabbing song.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

The song “Sukicchu-no!” by HoneyWorks and Chu-tan.

Compared to the previous track “Kawaikute Gomen,” this one tones down the cutesy, coquettish elements and overall delivers a more traditionally girly vibe.

The vocal range is mid2B to hiC, which is slightly high for a typical female vocal piece, but since the song shines through breath work—like breaths and consonants—to enhance its charm, the overall difficulty is on the lower side.

It’s a track that’s sure to be a hit among girls or at mixers.

Skirt fluttering

It’s a smash hit by the Akihabara-born idol group AKB48.

Over rapid breakbeats, the quintessentially catchy idol-style vocals ride on top.

It’s hugely popular among otaku in their 20s, and it’s become a song that makes some men go absolutely wild.

CYMBillyrrom

Billyrrom – “CYM”【Official Music Video】

Billyrrom, who have elevated a variety of genres like soul and funk with a refined production aesthetic, are beloved for their stylish sound.

Their track “CYM,” released in March 2025, epitomizes the band’s essence: a sleek, sophisticated groove that feels great—an urban sound design that makes it a perfect pick for a nighttime drive.

Unlike typical J-pop with clearly defined A-melody, B-melody, and chorus sections, the song’s melodic approach is quite different and, to be honest, not easy.

Still, try to sing with poise, really locking into the groove created by the rhythm section.

The effortless falsetto touches add sensuality; if you deliver it coolly and stylishly, you’ll undoubtedly be the center of attention at karaoke that night!
