Hype songs by male artists recommended for Gen Z (41–50)
Moechakka FireIssei
A youthful pop tune by Issei, marked by its rich baritone and catchy melodies.
Witty and light on its feet, it satirizes SNS culture and the digital age while vividly portraying the struggles today’s youth face.
Set to powerful low-end and a danceable beat, the song is an anthem that champions living true to yourself, free from others’ judgments and fixed ideas.
Since its July 2024 release, it has topped YouTube’s music video rankings and drew buzz for a collaboration with HoYoverse’s hit game Zenless Zone Zero.
A recommended track for anyone seeking a spark in everyday life or a chance to rediscover their authentic self.
peace signYonezu Kenshi
This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu that stirs the heart with its powerful vocals and exhilarating sound.
Produced in June 2017 as the opening theme for the first cour of Season 2 of the Yomiuri TV–affiliated anime “My Hero Academia,” it resonates with the desire to become stronger on nights spent crying over one’s own inadequacy, and with the resolve to become a hero to protect someone important.
The contrast between high and low registers carefully expresses emotional shifts, so when singing, it’s best to pay attention not only to pitch but also to dynamics and phrasing.
Song of Greensoshina
Soshina, the straight man of the comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo.
In addition to his work as a TV personality, he’s also active as a YouTuber and an artist.
As an artist, he primarily focuses on punk rock, and his loud musical style has earned him immense popularity among certain audiences.
Among Soshina’s songs, a particularly recommended track is Midori no Uta.
It’s written in a minor key, and while the vocals are quite raspy, the overall range is fairly narrow, making it a very easy song for men who can do shout-style vocals.
Ups&DownsCrystal Lake
A metalcore sound marked by thunderous roars and shouts that resound with overwhelming intensity.
This grand opener of the EP “CUBES” sings of hope and strength rising even in the depths of despair.
Crystal Lake’s signature energetic, powerful approach blends perfectly with a meticulously arranged soundscape.
Featured on the EP “CUBES,” released in August 2014, it has since become a live staple that ignites audiences.
Its expansive, cinematic sound and its powerful message of hope and renewal make it a track that resonates with anyone determined to keep moving forward.

Masakado Yoshinori and Kojima Ken, members of the Aぇ! group, possess the unique charm and diverse talents nurtured by Kansai culture.
Since their formation in 2019, they have showcased a wide range of performances—not only singing and dancing but also full band sets.
In May 2024, they made their CD debut, drawing significant attention.
Their careers in entertainment began in 2011: Masakado Yoshinori has been highly praised for his role in a serialized TV drama, while Kojima Ken has received acclaim for his leading performance in a drama series.

Leveraging the strength of all being from the Kansai region, Naniwa Danshi continues to captivate audiences with performances brimming with Kansai-specific charm.
They made their CD debut in November 2021, and many of their subsequent releases have ranked high on the Oricon charts.
The group has built a sparkling track record, including winning Best 5 New Artists at the 36th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
Every member is also skilled in acting, thriving across a wide range of fields such as TV dramas, films, and stage productions.
In April 2024, they formed the limited-time unit KAMIGATA BOYZ together with other Johnny’s groups from Kansai, further accelerating their momentum.
They’re highly recommended for those drawn to the blend of friendly Kansai dialect and polished performance.
Biri MillionYuuri
Yuuri’s uplifting song portrays a young person who rejects an old man’s offer to trade lifespan for riches, choosing instead to believe in their own potential.
With the powerful message that “just being alive is wonderful” and the universal theme that the value of life cannot be measured by money, the song is delivered through Yuuri’s characteristically emotive vocals.
Released in January 2023, it also drew attention for its flipbook-style music video created by popular comedian Tekken.
