Summer Colorsyuzu
When I think of refreshing songs that men can sing, Yuzu’s tracks come to mind.
Their bright, poppy, refreshing melodies pair beautifully with the duo’s pleasant vocals.
Even from a female perspective, I think few people find Yuzu’s songs hard to get into.
Among their tracks, the most popular “Natsuiro” is one that almost everyone knows, and its upbeat vibe makes it easy to groove to, so I recommend it.
If a man is going to sing it, the key is quite high, so lowering it a bit in the settings might make it easier to sing.
Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu
This is the 10th single by the four-piece rock band Ulfuls, known for their massive hit “Guts da ze!!” and for releasing numerous classics with their funky, soulful sound.
Chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Victory Goddess,” its straightforward lyrics—full of a realism many men will relate to—are sure to stir your heart.
From the very first line, the soaring melody is guaranteed to get the crowd going, especially when powered by a distinctly masculine vocal delivery.
Its unpretentious message resonates with women too, making it a foolproof karaoke staple.
Like tonight’s moonElefanto Kashimashi
This is the 15th single by Elephant Kashimashi, a four-piece rock band with a loyal following thanks to their distinctive sound that incorporates various styles such as alternative rock and industrial rock.
The song was produced as the theme for the TV drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara” (“Because It’s a Moonlit Night”) and is also known for bringing Elephant Kashimashi to a wider audience.
Its lyrical melody exudes a masculine appeal, which may make many women want to hear men sing it.
However, because it features large melodic leaps, be sure to practice so you don’t go off-pitch before tackling it at karaoke.
balladKetsumeishi
When it comes to classic love songs popular among women, Ketsumeishi’s “Ballad” stands out.
The music video centers on the theme of an unattainable love story, making it especially beloved not only by women nursing a crush, but also by those carrying feelings they know will never be fulfilled.
Precisely because of its bittersweet theme, the lyrics—expressing straightforward affection for someone precious—resonate deeply.
It’s a quintessential love ballad that makes women think, “I want to be loved like this,” so it’s definitely one to keep in mind.

At summer karaoke, high-energy party anthems are great, but ballads like this one are also highly recommended.
