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!
