Asymmetrynaniwa danshi
With the recent boom of K-POP and the like, I think it’s become more common for guys to sing idol songs even at karaoke with just men.
One track I recommend is Naniwa Danshi’s “Asymmetric.” Naniwa Danshi have always excelled at a more orthodox musical style, and this song in particular is crafted with an extremely catchy melody reminiscent of Arashi in the mid-Heisei era, so it’s sure to get everyone hyped.
The phrase right before the chorus is a bit distinctive, so be mindful of the sudden pitch changes there and prepare to handle them.
