[For Men] Karaoke Challenge Songs: A collection of tracks that are cool if you can sing them! (11–20)
Love song foreverVaundy
Singer-songwriter Vaundy is known for his wide-ranging musical style.
His track “Zutto Love Song,” released in August 2025, has garnered fervent support from fans.
The song leans toward a rock sound with a hint of Showa-era flavor, featuring distinctly Japanese phrases reminiscent of kayōkyoku.
While the piece isn’t consistently difficult throughout, the B-melody includes a section with pronounced pitch jumps, so you’ll need to be careful not to go off pitch there.
That said, the B-melody itself is very catchy and easy to sing, so if you’re confident in your pitch sense, be sure to give it a try.
Together forever!Kitanitatsuya
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
While he has many catchy songs, he also has some technically demanding ones.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Zuutto Issho! This piece requires a wide vocal range from mid1 A# to high A, with quite dramatic pitch movement up and down.
That alone makes it difficult, but it also has few breathing points and many rapid-fire phrases, so in addition to pitch control, strong lung capacity is needed.
It’s a song that demands comprehensive vocal ability, so definitely give it a try.
Kaikai KitanEVE
This song was pre-released on October 3, 2020, and serves as the opening theme for the first season of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen.
I think many people often sing Eve’s songs, but all of them have a very wide vocal range! By the way, Kaikai Kitan spans F2 to D5, which made me think, “You can sing that low?”—I was surprised myself.
It’s a song that’s challenging both for the low notes in the verse and the high notes in the chorus.
In the A melody, try to let the voice come out slowly from the vocal folds and avoid making it too muffled.
From the B melody it becomes more song-like and higher, but if you push too hard, you’ll strain your throat.
Keep an image of producing a strong falsetto and focus on explosiveness.
The chorus is also tough for breathing, so it might help to decide in advance where you’ll take breaths.
Also, for songs where breathing is this difficult, it’s better to parcel out your effort rather than trying to sing everything at 100%.
THE DAYPorunogurafiti
Porno Graffitti are known for their high vocal range, and isn’t “THE DAY” one of their highest songs, especially at the top end? The tempo is also quite fast, so when it comes time to actually sing it, I think it’ll be tough to keep up unless you’ve really memorized the song first.
Also, vocalist Okano mostly uses chest voice, belting the high notes in his natural voice, but the highest note at the end of the chorus, C#5, is in falsetto.
That switch is really cool, right? Since the track is up-tempo, if you’re not confident with high notes, I recommend lowering the key by one or two steps instead of jumping straight into the original key when you practice.
Rather than worrying about pitch at first, start by getting used to the speed! You might get caught up in the effort of singing, but don’t forget to breathe!
Christmas songback number
This is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “5→9: From Five to Nine,” and it won the Best Drama Song at the 87th The Television Drama Academy Awards.
The vocal melody of this track is relatively simple and easy to remember, but to sing it well you’ll need a fairly wide vocal range.
In particular, the key point is how well you can produce a solid, resonant falsetto in the chorus sections that are sung in falsetto.
Be sure to showcase a powerful, clear falsetto and steal the spotlight among your peers.
SOCIAL VIRUSHyde
HYDE’s new song “SOCIAL VIRUS.” HYDE has been consistently dropping great tracks, and this one stands out with a particularly strong hard rock flavor.
The overall sound is loud and intense, and the vocal lines match that with a raw, fierce delivery.
It demands a high level of power, expressiveness, and vibrato, so without solid fundamental vocal skills, it will be very difficult to pull off.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

7th TriggerUVERworld
UVERworld is a band that commands overwhelming support from men with their motivational messaging and razor-sharp musicality.
While they have many exhilarating tracks, a lot of them are also quite challenging.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “7th Trigger.” The vocal range in this song is extremely high, spanning from mid2A to hiF, with the chorus repeatedly hitting hiA to hiD.
It’s a piece that stands out for its sheer height, but since there’s room to lower the key, try tackling it in the key that suits you best.
