[For Men] Karaoke Challenge Songs: A Collection of Tracks That Are Cool If You Can Sing Them! (21–30)
Night MusicMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE has produced many masterpieces.
Their songs are often difficult, but among them, Nachtmusik is one of the most challenging.
The toughest aspect of this piece is, above all, the high notes.
It’s not just that there are many high notes; it features both low and high falsetto, along with repeated, drastic shifts in pitch.
In addition to falsetto technique, precise pitch control is required, placing its difficulty among the highest even within Japanese pop music.
Lovers AgainEXILE
A mid-tempo ballad overflowing with bittersweet emotion, layering feelings and lingering attachment to a former lover over wintry scenes.
Its striking chorus melody lingers in the ear, delicately portraying the man’s shifting emotions.
Released in January 2007 as EXILE’s 22nd single—a track that remains enduringly popular—this song demands vocal prowess in the mid-to-high range, including falsetto, making it a bit challenging to sing.
However, if you practice well and deliver it smoothly at karaoke, its emotional vocals may well draw women in.
It’s a must-try for anyone who wants to nail a cool, stylish performance.
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s seventh digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the ABC TV/TV Asahi drama series “Even If It’s Sunday Night…”.
Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, is a singer whose appeal lies in a voice that carries a touch of boyishness.
In this track as well, he delivers a superb vocal performance, freely switching between powerful chest voice and delicate falsetto, showcasing a truly shape-shifting command of his voice.
Because the song hinges on skillful, seamless transitions in vocal production, I recommend listening closely to the original, studying it, and then trying to sing it yourself to capture everyone’s attention!
hundreds of millions of light-yearsOmoinotake
Omoinotake is a popular band with a musical style similar to Official HIGE DANDism, enjoying nationwide popularity.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Ikoku Kōnen (Light-Years).
It’s a well-known track across Japan, so most people have probably heard it at least once.
The challenging aspect of this song is definitely the high notes.
We’re not talking slightly high—they feature extremely high falsetto.
Unless you’re very confident in your head voice, it will be difficult to sing it well.
MagicMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s eighth digital-only single, released in June 2023.
It was selected as the campaign song for that year’s Coca-Cola Coke STUDIO.
I felt it’s a wonderful track where the refreshingly arranged sound and Motoki Omori’s clear vocals match perfectly.
To sing this song well, I think it’s important to skillfully switch among his diverse high tones and to command a rich chest voice in the lower parts.
It’s a track I’d love confident male singers to take on as a challenge!
SOULSOUPOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s 14th digital-only single, released in December 2023.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for the animated film SPY×FAMILY CODE: White.
Official HIGE DANDism is known (infamous?) for the high difficulty of their songs, and this track is no exception.
If you can reproduce the clear, powerful high notes and the sense of speed in karaoke, you’re sure to earn praise from everyone around you! If you’re confident in your soaring high range, definitely give it a try.
Try placing the resonance so the sound hits the upper palate in your oral cavity; you’ll likely get a tone rich in pleasing high overtones—give it a shot!
ANTENNAMrs. GREEN APPLE
The lead track from Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s fifth album, ANTENNA, released in July 2023.
It serves as the Japan national team’s support song for Fuji TV’s World Cup Volleyball 2023.
The song features a melody with complex rises and falls, paired with vocals that skillfully switch techniques in response—making it a highly rewarding challenge for advanced karaoke singers.
Be sure to sing it in a way that preserves the original’s sense of uplift and exhilarating speed!
