[For Men] Karaoke Challenge Songs: A Collection of Tracks That Are Cool If You Can Sing Them! (21–30)
FAKE STYLEFAKE TYPE.
A signature song that could be called the origin of FAKE TYPE., where electroswing collides with ultra-fast rap! If you can nail it at karaoke, you’ll definitely earn the title of Tongue-Twister Monster! There’s no official tie-in, but it went viral on YouTube and Nico Nico Douga, boosting its popularity.
It fuses retro and modern elements, creating a unique world where a swing-jazz-style track is layered with ultra-speed rap and humor.
When singing, you’ll be tested on breath control for the nonstop fast rap, enunciation, sense of rhythm, and lyric memorization.
It’s packed with an enormous number of words, so focus on accents to keep your mouth moving smoothly!
Silent JealousyX JAPAN
When people think of bands with lots of difficult songs, many probably imagine X JAPAN first.
TOSHI’s high-tone vocals are quite hard to replicate, and it’s no exaggeration to say most of their tracks are challenging.
Among X JAPAN’s songs, one I especially recommend is Silent Jealousy.
Its range is mid2B to hi C#, which isn’t particularly wide for X JAPAN, but most of the chorus sits between hi B and hi C#, making the chorus impressively high.
It’s a great practice piece for those looking to build endurance in their high-tone vocals.

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!
Sunny dropNovelbright
A number known as a challenge piece for its wide range and continuous high notes.
The high leaps in the final chorus are especially an S‑tier difficulty point.
The overall vocal range spans roughly C#3 to F#5, which is quite wide, and you should pay particular attention to the switch into the high tones in the chorus.
Of course, if you just belt recklessly, you’ll wreck your throat, so be mindful of resonance placement and aim to let the highs come out comfortably.
In any range, keep the image of ringing the space behind your head, and as the pitch rises, increase your explosiveness.
Before singing, don’t forget to warm up with lip rolls, humming, and similar exercises!
FAKE LANDFAKE TYPE.
A super distinctive rap that depicts a theme park where madness and pleasure swirl! If you can pull it off at karaoke, you’ll feel like the true ruler of entertainment.
It’s a 2021 release.
“FAKE LAND” is a song one of my students used to sing, and I was impressed, thinking, “Wow, their diction is so quick!” It really prioritizes rhythm and accent! It’s not pure rap—there are song-like parts too—so even if you’re not confident with rap, I think you can enjoy singing it all the way through.
Of course, I memorized it while teaching lessons as well, so listening repeatedly and singing along is key! If the fast lyrics make it hard to catch the words, I recommend slowing the playback speed on YouTube.
will-illTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
An emotional rock ballad where despair and beauty intertwine.
It’s the ending theme for the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion 15th anniversary rebroadcast project.
If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a song that lets your expressive power shine as if you’ve lived in the world of Code Geass! I’ve written a lot about TK’s appeal in my karaoke articles, but I even find his death growls beautiful.
In particular, “will-ill” is tough to learn to begin with, and I’m really struggling with it myself.
There are multiple sections with death growls, and compared to other songs, the tone of the growls is different, making it quite difficult to sing well.
In any case, focus on your vocal cords and try not to use your throat as much when you sing!
Fantastic MagicTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
A band known for many difficult high-tone phrases, TK from Ling tosite sigure.
While all of their works could be considered challenging, the one I especially recommend as a particularly tough piece is Fantastic Magic.
The hardest point of this song is, without a doubt, the chorus.
The range is mid1E to hiG#, which is still better compared to unravel, but almost the entire chorus sits at hiE or above.
Since the chorus is composed almost entirely of high-tone vocals, by the time you finish singing, the strain on your temples and throat will be immense—but I encourage you to give it a try.
