For Your Karaoke Picks! Recommended Graduation Songs Sung by Male Artists [2026] (51–60)
The Never-Ending SongTHE BLUE HEARTS
A song by THE BLUE HEARTS that sings of a strong will to confront and overcome the contradictions of society and the hardships of life.
Released in May 1989, this track remains one of the band’s signature works and continues to be loved by many.
With Hiroto Kōmoto’s powerful vocals and Masatoshi Mashima’s memorable guitar, it gives listeners the courage and hope to face harsh realities.
It’s the perfect song to cap off a graduation moment at karaoke.
Highly recommended for those who want to reaffirm their bonds with friends and strengthen their resolve to take a new step forward.
If everyone sings it together, it’s sure to become an unforgettable memory!
Cherry blossom seasonEXILE ATSUSHI
Despite being so well-known that he could be called the face of EXILE, singer EXILE ATSUSHI announced in 2020 that he would focus on solo activities.
“Sakura no Kisetsu,” included on his third album Love Ballade, was released the following year as his seventh single.
The rush of youthful memories, the mix of gratitude, and the sorrow of parting are feelings anyone who has experienced graduation can relate to.
It’s a tear-jerking graduation song we hope you’ll sing at karaoke as a message to someone important.
FRIENDSHIPH Jungle with T
The lavish unit H Jungle with T, formed by Downtown’s Masatoshi Hamada and Tetsuya Komuro, delivers a song called “FRIENDSHIP” that nostalgically reflects on one’s youth, focusing on the life and spirit of a particularly memorable friend.
It portrays how the narrator, who couldn’t quite grasp that friend’s assertions back then, now finds themselves empathizing with them, making it a somewhat wistful graduation song in which they tell themselves they’re sure they’ll meet again.
My Favorite TeacherRC sakuseshon
RC Succession’s “My Favorite Teacher” is a song about a cherished teacher who supported the band during their school days.
By listing the teacher’s distinctive traits, it conveys a straightforward feeling of affection—for both the parts that seemed teacher-like and those that didn’t.
It’s also a song of gratitude with a certain sweetness to it.

Best FriendSMAP
A signature song by SMAP, an idol group loved not only in Japan but also abroad for its uplifting spirit and catchy melody.
The song expresses the feeling of “I’ll always be there for my best friend when they’re struggling,” making it a perfect pick for the spring graduation season.
Cheering songTHE Inazuma Sentai
THE Inazuma Sentai’s “Ouengka” (Cheering Song) is a track that sings of the slightly worried yet heartfelt encouragement one feels when a dear friend decides to pursue their dream.
Because of the long time spent together, emotions like joy—as if it were one’s own achievement—overflow within the message of support.
My good friendKamayatsu Hiroshi
I recommend Hiroshi Kamayatsu’s “Waga Yoki Tomo yo” (“My Good Friend”)! You can sense its era in the student life portrayed in the lyrics, but it’s a gentle yet passionate friendship song that feels like a letter to a friend—simply reminiscing about student days and wondering what they’re doing now.
