[For Men] Play these songs when you want to hype up the karaoke! (1–10)

People in their late 20s to early 30s are the generation that lived through the golden age of Japanese rock.

Among those bands, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION was especially popular with men.

Of all their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Rewrite.

It stays in a low register for much of the track, which makes the chorus feel explosively open by contrast, and the almost roar-like phrases really fire up the crowd.

Because the verses sit so low, it’s tempting to raise the key, but if you match it to that, the chorus will be tough—so find a comfortable middle ground and sing in a moderately adjusted key.

Gen Hoshino’s hit song “Koi” is beloved not only by men but also by women.

The track served as the theme song for the wildly popular drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu), which became a social phenomenon and earned nationwide acclaim.

You still see it pop up often in karaoke histories, don’t you? While the song has a catchy melody, it also packs a punch with accents on the second and fourth beats, giving it a surprisingly solid groove.

In terms of name recognition and ease of getting into the rhythm, it’s a surefire crowd-pleaser.

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.

It’s a song that was released as a digital-only single on August 14, 2025, and since it was also produced as the CM song for “LIVE DAM WAO!,” its theme is karaoke—so it seems like it would really hype people up when you actually sing it at karaoke! Plus, it’s a fresh, up-tempo track, so I think it will look and sound great in a karaoke setting.

It’ll likely be easier to sing if you memorize the lyrics to some extent beforehand.

The chorus in particular has a lot of words and moves quickly.

That said, the lyrics rhyme like a rap, so once you lock into the groove, it should be easier to sing.

If you’re keeping time in 4/4, putting an accent on the first beat of the intro gives it a driving, forward-leaning feel that makes it easier to deliver.

Rather than trying to articulate every single word, let the lyrics ride the melody.

I recommend humming while you’re learning the song—try it in a relaxed state!

Sambomaster is a three-piece rock band that’s gained popularity for their outstanding guitar work, positive lyrics, and powerful vocals.

They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is Dekikkonai wo Yaranakucha (We’ve Gotta Do the Impossible).

It’s a very bright, uplifting anthem, and while the vocals are strong throughout, it’s more shout-heavy than wide in vocal range.

Even if you sing it a bit rough, it still comes across well, so it’s a solid choice to add to your repertoire.

This track by WANIMA, which began streaming in February 2026, was chosen as the opening theme for the Netflix anime Baki-dou.

With straightforward word choices, a conversational feel, and chantable phrases designed for everyone to shout together, it’s perfectly suited for belting out at karaoke.

It’s a lead single from the mini-album Excuse Error, where the instruments lock in tightly over a drum-driven beat, and the chorus delivers a thrilling lift that feels like your vision opening wide.

It’s a song that lets everyone raise their voices together and get fired up when you want to blow away everyday stress.
