This is the second single by Sukima Switch, featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and used in multiple tie-ins.

With sentimental lyrics and arrangements, it’s a ballad known across generations and covered by many artists.

Its lyrical melody and a chorus that includes falsetto can captivate listeners if sung well at karaoke.

The high key makes it challenging, but if a male singer can pull it off, it’s a cool, quintessential Heisei-era classic.

WANIMA, a punk-leaning rock band boasting top-tier popularity.

They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Matatabi.” It’s the theme song for the anime “Night of the Living Cat,” and, for WANIMA, it’s unusually shaped into a pretty hardcore melody.

In the middle of the track, there’s a shout that’s almost like a scream, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments in the song—so if you sing it at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.

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.

SUPER BEAVER is a four-piece rock band that has been active since the 2000s—a renowned name any Japanese rock fan will know.

Recently, with the release of their new song “Kataomoi” (Unrequited Love), they’ve once again drawn national attention.

This track, which sparked their renewed breakout, features an emotional melody that blends orthodox J-pop with a touch of rock.

The vocals sit mostly in the low-to-mid range throughout, but near the end of the chorus there’s a high, belted shout delivered in chest voice.

Aside from that section, it’s very singable overall, so if you’re good at shouting, consider adding it to your repertoire.

Kazuyoshi Saito is known for many cool, rugged, masculine tracks, but this song is a gentle, tender ballad.

It’s been covered by many artists, including Bank Band.

The protagonist, a singer, can say anything when he puts it into a song—even words of love that would normally be too embarrassing to speak.

If you find it hard to straightforwardly say you like someone or to express words of love, try putting those feelings into a song—you’ll look incredibly cool doing it!

sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)SEKAI NO OWARI

A song by SEKAI NO OWARI that was used as an Olympic theme song in 2018.

While many people remember them for their songs with a fanciful vibe, this track is a classic, gently paced ballad.

It’s loved not only as a sports anthem but also as an anthem for life.

Because the accompaniment is simple, the vocals naturally draw attention, and being able to sing such a sincere song is really cool.

If a man who doesn’t usually sing this kind of song performs it, the gap would make it even more exciting.

This song has a very cool, band-like vibe! Especially the way the chorus builds—doesn’t it feel great to sing? I get the impression that SUPER BEAVER doesn’t have many songs in a high range and generally leans lower, and the vocal range for “Manazashi” is C3–A4, so it should be easy for men with lower voices to sing! SUPER BEAVER is very popular, so it seems tough to get concert tickets… They have a lot of cool songs, so adding them to your karaoke repertoire is sure to get everyone hyped!
