Want to sing at karaoke! Male artists’ songs recommended for Gen Z (71–80)

Once more[ re: ]

A heartwarming song born from the desire to connect people’s hearts through the power of music and deliver a light of hope.

Centered around Taka from ONE OK ROCK and Shota Shimizu, artists of the same generation—including Mao Abe, Ayaka, Aimer, KENTA from WANIMA, Nissy, and Daichi Miura—came together to create it.

Even amid the anxiety of everyday life feeling like it might fall apart, the song carries a message to keep looking forward and moving on.

The music video, edited from footage each artist filmed at home, surpassed 10 million views in just half a month after its release in June 2020.

Singing about the longing for bonds with loved ones and hope for the future, this piece is perfect for delivering a tender performance at karaoke.

It’s a song that lets you share your feelings with those around you and warms the heart.

Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento

This Kento is a multi-creator from Minoh, Osaka Prefecture, who stands out as an artist with a distinctive personality and a signature pair of green glasses.

In college, he won the national a cappella competition twice, and later began performing on YouTube as a one-man a cappella singer.

He made his artist debut in August 2022 and has been gaining attention for songs brimming with a unique worldview and strong messages.

In December 2024, he won the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist and made his first appearance on the NHK New Year’s Eve music show, Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Drawing on his own experiences, his lyrics and expressive performances deliver music that resonates with the heart.

His relatable songs, written in down-to-earth language, are recommended for those who value staying true to themselves.

DRESSING ROOMnatori

Natori is a male singer who has gained popularity for his downer-style singing.

Although his voice still retains a youthful quality, his standout feature is his low-register vocals.

This track, “DRESSING ROOM,” is a piece that makes full use of Natori’s deep tones.

Because the song as a whole stays within a narrow and low vocal range, even teenage boys whose voices may be unstable due to voice changes can sing it without issue.

It’s a stylish song that’s well-received by women, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

TSUNAMISazan Ōrusutāzu

Known as a masterpiece that likens the pain of heartbreak to a tsunami, this work is a moving love song celebrated as one of Southern All Stars’ signature pieces.

It’s a gem of a ballad that expresses the sorrow of losing someone dear through a grand melody, fully showcasing Keisuke Kuwata’s exceptional songwriting and composing talent.

Released in January 2000, it topped the Oricon weekly charts and won the Japan Record Award the same year.

It was also selected as the theme song for the popular segment “Mirai Nikki III” on the TV program “U-nan no Hontoko!,” becoming a classic beloved across generations.

As a heartwarming song that offers comfort to those carrying the pain of losing someone special, it’s also highly recommended for karaoke.

Knock Knockpirafu seijin

One of the most talked-about rappers in the current MC battle scene is Pilaf Seijin.

He has a lot of haters, but just as many fans, and his streaming numbers are exceptional for a rapper.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Knock Knock.

While it’s not a particularly low-range piece, the vocal line is simple, so even men with lower voices can sing it comfortably.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
