Cool Songs That Are Impressive When Sung by Men (31–40)
BetelgeuseYuuri
Yuri’s “Betelgeuse” was practiced by a lot of my students, regardless of gender.
The more lessons I gave on it, the more I thought, “This song is tough,” so it’s perfect for those confident in their vocal skills! The overall range is D3–D5, making it a higher-key song.
The tricky parts are definitely the chorus and the C section.
Once you start singing, there’s no rest, no room to breathe, and many people struggle with switching to falsetto like Yuri does.
Most of Yuri’s songs don’t offer breaks once you begin, so the key is balancing how much volume to use—what percentage of your full power you’re singing with.
As for breath placement, if you hold out every note, you’ll lose track of where to breathe, so try cutting off phrase endings to create small gaps.
Don’t forget to take a breath in those spots! If you want to switch to falsetto, relax and let the sound float upward lightly—this naturally transitions into falsetto, so give it a try!
Call meNovelbright
Although they are a rock band, Novelbright also enjoys idol-like popularity.
Among both men and women, many people in their teens to early twenties are likely fans.
Their new song “Call me” has a very refreshing melody.
While it’s pleasant to listen to, the difficulty level is quite high: in the repeated chorus sections, there’s a falsetto close to a mixed-voice quality.
For men with a typical vocal range, the hi D# is a pitch that easily flips, making it a high-tone phrase that’s tricky to control.
If you’re confident in your high notes, definitely give it a try.
IKAROSKing Gnu
IKAROS by King Gnu, a song driven by an indie-style melody that sparked a boom from 2022 to 2023.
While its very relaxed tempo and expansive falsetto and mixed voice are striking, the truly challenging aspect of this piece actually lies in the low notes.
The highest note is hi C#—not extraordinarily high—but partway through the song, low-note phrases suddenly appear.
The lowest note there is low C#, which is quite difficult even for the average male singer, so it’s fair to say this song ranks at S-class difficulty.
FAKE LANDFAKE TYPE.
A super distinctive rap that depicts a theme park where madness and pleasure swirl! If you can pull it off at karaoke, you’ll feel like the true ruler of entertainment.
It’s a 2021 release.
“FAKE LAND” is a song one of my students used to sing, and I was impressed, thinking, “Wow, their diction is so quick!” It really prioritizes rhythm and accent! It’s not pure rap—there are song-like parts too—so even if you’re not confident with rap, I think you can enjoy singing it all the way through.
Of course, I memorized it while teaching lessons as well, so listening repeatedly and singing along is key! If the fast lyrics make it hard to catch the words, I recommend slowing the playback speed on YouTube.
GIFTMr.Children
A grand, cheering ballad that sings of values beyond winning and losing.
If you can nail it at karaoke, it’s a song that can deliver a gold medal–worthy performance that lingers in the heart! While it’s not extremely high in the upper register, Mr.Children’s hallmark is the intense rise and fall of the melodic line, which makes many people feel, once they try singing it, “I can’t hit the pitches at all! This is hard!” The overall vocal range of GIFT is A2 to B4, leaning wider on the low end.
You’ll need steady breath support throughout.
In the chorus, explosive power becomes crucial, so as the notes climb higher, sing with increasing drive and energy!
Cool songs recommended for men to sing (41–50)
NINE LIVESchōtokkyū
They’re releasing a TikTok-linked project called “Episode of NINE LIVES,” a series of short dramas starring each of the nine members.
The limited first-press Blu-ray reportedly includes a director’s cut and behind-the-scenes footage.
It’s a groovy dance tune themed around a nine-member group × “cats have nine lives”! If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a guaranteed attention-grabber! You can sing it solo, or split the parts and sing it as a duo—how you approach it makes it even more fun! Within a single track you’ll find ultra-high notes and rap sections; keeping pitch, managing breath control, and handling the relatively fast tempo will test your sense of rhythm.
If you firmly memorize the melody line and focus less on “pushing your voice out” and more on “resonance,” you’ll find it feels great to sing!
You’re the Only…Ono Masatoshi
Masatoshi Ono is known in Japan as one of the top masters of high-tone vocals.
In addition to his falsetto, he is highly regarded for his mixed voice, and he’s famous for delivering solid sound pressure even at high pitches.
Speaking of Ono’s most challenging songs, “You’re the Only…” is probably at the top of the list.
This piece features an exceptionally wide range from mid1 G# to hi B, and it does not use falsetto.
In other words, because every high-tone phrase has to be sung in chest voice, it’s difficult to pull off unless you possess an unusually specialized vocal range to begin with.
Moreover, as a rock ballad, it also demands vocal power, making it a song of very high difficulty in every respect.
