For men (21–30)
Limit-Break x SurvivorHikawa Kiyoshi
It’s the opening theme of Dragon Ball Super, a classic anison track packed with the same momentum and power as the anime itself.
The singer is Kiyoshi Hikawa, which surprised me at first since I didn’t have that image of him.
The overall vocal range is quite narrow at F#3–F#4, which should be comfortable for male singers.
However, because similar notes continue throughout, maintaining consistency is important.
The chorus has many sustained notes, so you can rack up points quickly there.
Keep an eye on the pitch bar and hold the notes all the way to the end.
It’s love.V6
A poppy, refreshing love song that represents V6 in 1997—and I just learned this myself—the composer is Koji Tamaki.
The overall vocal range is wide and high, from D#3 to D#5, and both the intensity and the range build steadily toward the latter half.
Because the tempo feels good, you’ll need to project your voice while staying in the groove.
As you approach the high notes before the chorus, keep a tight, small body rhythm to line up your timing, use your body to add momentum, and accent the phrase.
Be careful not to tense up on the “n” sound in the song title; focus on carrying it with your breath and try singing with that in mind!
Fujifabricakakiiro no kinmokusei
This is the third single by Fujifabric, released in 2004.
The song’s overall vocal range is A#3 to G#4, so it should be very comfortable for those who struggle with high notes.
With a tempo of 153, it’s easy to ride the rhythm and stay aware of the pitch bar.
The A and B sections focus on lower notes, so if you overuse your throat, you’ll end up singing the higher notes in the chorus with a throaty sound, making it harder to stay on pitch.
When singing, aim for a singing voice rather than a speaking voice, and make sure the sound comes correctly from the vocal folds.
Lightly touch the dip between your collarbones and try producing sound from there.
If the spot you’re touching vibrates slightly, that’s a sign you’re using your voice correctly.
Sing with the image of projecting the sound forward from that point.
For low notes, place the sound right in front of you; for high notes, aim farther away and use a quick, explosive release.
In all cases, produce the sound from your vocal folds.
Beyond the Night SkySMAP
This is SMAP’s 27th single—so famous it needs no introduction—released in January 1998, with lyrics by Shikao Suga.
Now, if you’re going to sing this song at karaoke: perhaps because it was written for the idol group SMAP, the melody is very straightforward and doesn’t require a wide vocal range either high or low.
The key is simply how honestly you can sing the melody.
Still, in today’s J-pop scene full of complex melodies, the fact that this song manages to be so memorable while being so simple and narrow in range is a remarkable compositional achievement worth noting! Don’t overthink it—if possible, sing it together rather than solo and aim for a high score!
yuzusutoorii
I looked it up because I thought, “This sounds really familiar,” and it turned out to be the CM song for Toyota’s Ractis! It’s a single released in 2008.
Since it’s a Yuzu song, the range is higher than the average male vocal range, so if you’re good at high notes, it’s easy to sing and a good candidate to aim for a perfect 100.
The chorus has many sustained endings, so make sure to take a breath for each phrase and pay close attention to the pitch bar.
I always told a student who loved Yuzu and sang them all the time, “It’s high, so keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop!” It can be tough until you get used to it, but once your pitch dips even for a moment, it’s hard to correct.
Of course, it’s fine to switch to falsetto—just make sure you can place the pitch solidly around the brow area.
The most important factor in scoring is pitch, so focus on maintaining it!
single bedSha ran Q
Sharam Q released their sixth single in October 1994.
It was also used as the ending theme for the NTV anime D·N·A²: Dokoka de Nakushita Aitsu no Aitsu.
For men who were in their 20s to 30s in the ’90s, this song is a karaoke staple! Since Tsunku, the vocalist, isn’t exactly a “serious, technical singer,” the song doesn’t require a particularly wide vocal range, making it relatively manageable for the average person to sing at karaoke.
In a way, it’s a song crafted with the ’90s trend in mind, where being popular at karaoke was a key factor for a hit.
That said, Tsunku’s singing style does have some quirks—like the way he belts the higher notes—so if you’re aiming for a high score, it’s better not to mimic the original too closely and instead sing the melody straightforwardly.
protagonistSUPER BEAVER
This is the song chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t really have the image of being “high” in pitch, and the vocal range of this song, “Shujinkou,” is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so I think many men can sing it mostly in chest voice! Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide cue before the vocals come in.
Also, because it’s a band song, if you stay aware of the drums and move your body to the beat as you sing, it’s easier to keep rhythm, it locks in with the melody, and your voice will come out more easily! The opening is already the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, make sure to project the very first consonant without hesitation! For the long notes, keep your eye on the pitch bar all the way to the end!
