peace signYonezu Kenshi
This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu that stirs the heart with its powerful vocals and exhilarating sound.
Produced in June 2017 as the opening theme for the first cour of Season 2 of the Yomiuri TV–affiliated anime “My Hero Academia,” it resonates with the desire to become stronger on nights spent crying over one’s own inadequacy, and with the resolve to become a hero to protect someone important.
The contrast between high and low registers carefully expresses emotional shifts, so when singing, it’s best to pay attention not only to pitch but also to dynamics and phrasing.
Naughty SunORANGE RANGE
For men in their late twenties and older, ORANGE RANGE is likely a particularly nostalgic band.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Ikenai Taiyō.” It’s a rap-rock track with a slightly comical touch, and both the chorus and its hook phrase deliver an outstanding lift.
It’s generally an easy song to sing, but since there’s a key change from the intro to the first verse, those who feel unsure should practice it a few times.
A gaze is lightKitanitatsuya
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
He’s an artist known for many inventive phrases, and even though “Manazashi wa Hikari” ultimately comes together as orthodox pop, he slips in a Japanese-style phrase right before the chorus.
The song spans a slightly wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, but the hi B parts are in a light falsetto, so even those who struggle with head voice can sing it.
The more challenging spots are actually around hi A, so if you set your key with that as the focal point, you can expect a vocal that really soars at the climax.
This is a sure bet! Hype songs men will want to sing first at karaoke (81–90)
I’ve gotta do the thing that seems impossible.Sambomasutā
A song packed with a powerful message that gives you the courage to face forward, its energetic rock sound stirs the soul.
The passionate vocals and punk rock–tinged arrangement express the importance of believing in your potential and taking on new challenges.
A fan favorite at live shows, it sparks a frenzy as the band and audience become one.
Released in February 2010, the track drew attention as the theme for Nissan’s Serena commercial and was later chosen as an image song for the drama Cheer☆Dan.
It’s a piece you’ll want to listen to when standing at a crossroads in life or before making a big decision.
Brimming with the encouraging, anthemic appeal that could be called Sambomaster’s true essence.
paprikaFoorinn
This song was born from NHK’s “2020 Support Song Project.” Remarkably, it has already surpassed 100 million views on YouTube.
It’s a song anyone can enjoy, regardless of age or gender.
The choreography is simple too, so learning it will make it even more fun.
I’d like to gradually build up our motivation to sing starting with this song.
white noiseOfisharu Higedan Dism
Chosen as the theme song for the anime Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown Arc, this track is by Official HIGE DANDism, a rock band leading today’s music charts.
While their previous songs often evoked the image of moving ballads or stylish, breezy tunes, this one takes a sharp turn as they venture into a harder-edged style.
In line with the anime’s content, it delivers a driving, cool vibe.
On top of that, the song is widely known and its chorus feels exhilarating, making it a perfect choice to sing as the first number.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
This is Memeshikute, which held the No.
1 spot on the karaoke rankings for 49 consecutive weeks.
It’s performed by Golden Bomber, known by the nickname “Kinbaku.” I bet many people got to know Golden Bomber through this song.
Their boundary-free performances are always entertaining.
I think many of you also know the choreography for the chorus.
It’s a song that everyone in the room can enjoy—not just by singing or listening, but by dancing along together.
The lyrics carry a sad vibe, yet somehow it doesn’t feel negative at all.
If anything, it puts smiles on people’s faces and is a perfect choice for the first song at karaoke.
