This Is a Surefire Hit! High-Energy Songs You’ll Want to Sing First at Karaoke [For Men] (101–110)

Mr. Moonlightimase

This is the song used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Hotel Inhumans,” released on July 11, 2025.

It has a bit of a brisk tempo, so be sure to remember to take breaths between phrases.

Taking breaths will also help you lock into the rhythm of the song! In the chorus, there are lots of switches between chest voice and falsetto, so aim to sing without straining.

When you lift your facial muscles, your eyebrows will probably lift on their own—how about you? That expression is actually important: with a blank face, you’ll never hit the right pitch, and it becomes harder to produce high notes or falsetto.

Raising your facial muscles also makes switching between chest and falsetto much easier, so try singing with the image of lifting your facial muscles and resonating from the top of your head!

A rock band from Osaka, Yabai T-Shirts Yasan.

Their song “Atsumare! Party People” is, just like the title says, perfect when you want to enjoy karaoke with a party vibe.

True to punk rock, this uptempo track drives forward with energetic guitar strumming, and singing it will instantly boost your excitement! There are call-and-response parts from start to finish, so it’s great for getting everyone hyped—even people hearing it for the first time.

Since it’s not a particularly melodious song, you don’t need to worry if you’re not confident in your vocals.

Don’t overthink it—just sing and go all out!

HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

L’Arc~en~Ciel Honey Smile Tour
HONEYL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

The 10th single by L’Arc~en~Ciel, a four-piece rock band in which all members are composers and each has their own hit songs.

Used as the ending theme for the soccer information program “Super Soccer,” the track features an arrangement that ramps up your excitement, starting with an opening of just guitar strumming and vocals before driving into a fast-paced chorus.

Since the chorus includes wide melodic leaps and falsetto that require a high range, be sure to adjust the key to suit your voice.

It’s a cool rock tune that can instantly fire up a karaoke session—perfect as the first song for everyone to sing along.

Love SongGReeeeN

This is the third single by GReeeeN, a four-man vocal group popular for their pop sound that blends a wide range of genres including pop, rock, reggae, breakbeats, and hip-hop.

Boasting numerous tie-ins—most notably as the ending theme for the audition show “Uta-Star!!”—it’s known as one of GReeeeN’s signature tracks.

The overall key is high, and from the middle it moves into rap, then a low-register melody, and back to a high-pitched melody again, making it quite challenging to sing solo.

With its brisk beat and catchy melody, it’s perfect as the first song at karaoke, so it’s a number you’ll want to sing together with friends.

dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE

A song by the three-piece rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, chosen as the theme for the information program Mezamashi 8.

It’s included on Unity, their first album since resuming activities in Phase 2, and its pop, full-bodied arrangement is perfect for starting the day.

The lively beat and catchy melody are sure to hype everyone up as the first track at karaoke.

However, because it features leaps in pitch and high notes right from the opening, be sure to practice well so you don’t go off-key and can lift everyone’s spirits.

This never fails! Hype songs men will want to sing first at karaoke (111–120)

This is the song chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t really have the image of being “high” in pitch, and the vocal range of this song, “Shujinkou,” is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so I think many men can sing it mostly in chest voice! Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide cue before the vocals come in.

Also, because it’s a band song, if you stay aware of the drums and move your body to the beat as you sing, it’s easier to keep rhythm, it locks in with the melody, and your voice will come out more easily! The opening is already the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, make sure to project the very first consonant without hesitation! For the long notes, keep your eye on the pitch bar all the way to the end!

I’ll call your name.SUPER BEAVER

SUPER BEAVER “I’ll Call Your Name” MV (Theme Song for the Film ‘Tokyo Revengers’)
I'll call your name.SUPER BEAVER

This is the 15th single by SUPER BEAVER, a four-piece rock band whose straightforward, Japanese-centric lyrics and robust rock sound have earned support from a wide range of listeners.

Chosen as the theme song for the film Tokyo Revengers, it delivers a message that reminds us of the important things we often overlook because they feel too obvious—words that truly move the heart.

With lyrics like that and a driving, fast-paced arrangement, it’s the perfect first track to kick off a karaoke session with close friends and get everyone hyped.

If you’re ever unsure what to sing, this is the number to remember.
