GOBUMP OF CHICKEN
A song by the four-piece rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN, which has had a tremendous impact on Japan’s rock scene since 2000.
It’s the opening track of their eighth studio album, Butterflies, and was used as the CM song for the mobile game Granblue Fantasy as well as the opening theme for the TV anime GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation, based on the game.
The spacious, delay-driven guitar phrases heighten your anticipation for the album as a whole.
With its driving pace and exhilarating feel, it’s also a perfect choice for the first song at karaoke.
Peter PanYuuri
This is Yuuri’s major-label debut single, dedicated to everyone chasing their dreams.
It powerfully sings about the protagonist’s unwavering resolve to follow the path they believe in without being swayed by others, and the importance of holding onto your dreams no matter how old you are.
Featuring a funky track and a commanding vocal performance, the song was released in August 2020 and also drew attention as the theme for a Dip Corporation commercial.
It’s included on the album “Ichi.” If you belt it out passionately at karaoke, there’s no doubt its coolness will captivate everyone around you!
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.
Summer Colorsyuzu
When talking about Yuzu, this song is absolutely indispensable.
It features a summery, refreshing sound, yet it’s a track you can enjoy all year round.
With its great rhythm, easy-to-catch tempo, and bright melody, it’s full of elements that naturally make you smile, so from the very first track everyone can be grinning together.
rainbowAqua Timez
If you want to kick things off with a bright, cheerful vibe, I recommend singing “Niji.” It’s a signature song by Aqua Timez, released in 2008, with warm lyrics that have encouraged many people.
It’s also famous as the theme song for the drama Gokusen: Season 3.
With its sparkling sound, it’s a song that lifts you up whether you’re singing it or listening to it.
It feels like the perfect opener that gets you excited! The music video is a great reference, and the hand claps make it easy for everyone to enjoy together.
If a friend sang it for me when I was feeling down or low on energy, I’d be really happy—and it would definitely lift my spirits!
This is a sure hit! Hype-up songs men will want to sing first at karaoke (41–50)
The Signal of the BeginningKetsumeishi
Let me introduce a song that symbolizes a new beginning for Ketsumeishi.
Released in October 2003, this track is often used as the opening number at their live shows.
Its lyrics, which celebrate positive energy and the courage to make a fresh start, leave a strong impression.
It’s a perfect first pick for karaoke and can instantly lift the mood of the room.
With its easy-to-follow rhythm and catchy melody, it’s great for enjoying even in gatherings with people you’re meeting for the first time.
Someday, in a world of nothingnessmakaroni enpitsu
In addition to general rock, Macaroni Empitsu is a band with a wide musical range, from psychedelic to hard rock.
For men who like Japanese rock, you could say they’re an extremely popular band.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka Nani mo Nai Sekai de.
Although the song sits in an easy-to-sing range of mid1 A to hi A, it still builds excitement properly, and in the chorus you can let out a big voice with a near-shouted feel.
The scat-like section at the end of the chorus starts with a shout, so it’s good to aim for a slightly more vigorous, rough vocal style.
