Lively songs for men (1–10)
FateOfisharu Higedan Dism
You can’t go wrong including at least one song by Official HIGE DANDism—better known as Higedan! Among their tracks, the passionate “Shukumei” is especially recommended for men to sing at karaoke.
It was chosen as the 2019 Summer Koshien cheer song, so for men, it’s easy to relate to it while recalling both the youth you’re living now and the youth you’ve lived through.
If you pour that uniquely male passion into this song when you sing it, you’ll be able to share the feeling with friends who experienced the same youth, as well as with male seniors and juniors—and it’s guaranteed to hype everyone up!
NEW WORLDSixTONES
It’s a positive song about becoming stronger thanks to precious friends and continuing to move forward toward the future.
It’s a track by the popular Johnny & Associates idol group SixTONES, included on their 2020 debut single “Imitation Rain / D.D.” With its grand, dance-music feel, it’s perfect for livening up a karaoke session! And if you’re hanging out with the guys, it might be fun for everyone to sing it together.
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
If you want an easy-to-sing, crowd-pleasing karaoke song, BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Tentai Kansoku” is a top recommendation.
Many of their songs have keys and melodies that suit the average male vocal range, so you can sing them comfortably without strain.
Aim for a cool, understated delivery to capture the right vibe!
Perfect-Sense DreamerONE OK ROCK
A four-piece rock band that has risen to become one of Japan’s leading rock acts, ONE OK ROCK delivers one of their signature songs here.
With powerful vocals, catchy guitar, a bass that creates a surging groove, and drums featuring tight, modern rhythms, every part shows off the cool appeal of rock.
The lyrics mix Japanese and English, and many of the Japanese phrases are phrased to sound like English, giving the song the feel of Western rock.
It’s the kind of track that will make people take notice if you sing it at karaoke.
It’s a fast-paced, high-energy song—why not practice it and try it out with friends at karaoke?
Movin’ onSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
The way the song keeps building and getting more exciting is irresistible.
It’s an energetic dance number, “Movin’ on.” It was released in 2020 as the 26th single by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE.
As the title suggests, it sings about creating a new world with their own hands, and as you listen, you can’t help but feel encouraged.
If you sing it as a cheer for someone, it will surely make them happy.
together; along with; bothWANIMA
It’s WANIMA’s second single and was used in Nivea Kao’s “8×4 Body Fresh” commercial.
The chorus really sticks in your head—even for me.
The overall vocal range is G#3 to D#5, which is on the higher side, and the tempo is an ultra-fast BPM 254, but if you lock into the band’s rhythm and sing along, your energy will definitely rise and it should actually make it easier to project your voice! If you let your guard down even for a moment, your pitch will drop into your throat and it’ll get harder to sing, so you need to keep your facial muscles lifted at all times.
For the rapid-fire section in the latter half, first run through the melody line and pronounce it lightly to get it under your belt!
Adventure Beyondchōtokkyū
It’s a full-on, high-energy uptempo track that’s so typical of Choutokkyuu, and it really gets the crowd going at live shows, with lots of call-and-response parts where everyone can shout together! The overall vocal range is two octaves, from C#3 to C#5, but thanks to the headbanging sections and the many unique lyrics sprinkled with otaku terms and internet slang, you’ll find the high notes come out easily if you sing brightly and keep the hype up.
Don’t worry about pitch—just have fun singing, that’s the most important thing! By the way, I love Ryoga’s funny faces during the song and I always burst out laughing, lol.
Definitely check out the video!
