Top 10 high-energy karaoke songs men should sing at mixers (1–10)
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.
silhouetteKANA-BOON
With this vocal range and gentle tone, you can carry that exhilarating vibe and power through this song at karaoke.
You’ll captivate listeners with a sense of speed and drive.
Choosing to sing it in front of your coworkers is also an option—chances are they’ll end up liking it.
FlowerORANGE RANGE
This is the eighth major single by the five-member rock band ORANGE RANGE from Okinawa, released in October 2004.
As the theme song for the film “Be With You,” it deeply moved many people, delivering a heartfelt message to a cherished loved one.
The single topped the Oricon Weekly Chart for four consecutive weeks and also claimed the No.
1 spot in the 2005 annual karaoke rankings.
In karaoke, it’s even enjoyed as part of a drinking game where the person who sings the lyric “hana” (flower) has to take a drink.
Although the song has a gentle, mellow tone, it has a curious charm that lets everyone get energized together—making it a perfect choice when you want to stir emotions at a group date.
Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
This is the third single by Masaki Suda, who is active not only as an actor but also as a singer.
Released in February 2018, it was chosen as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kiss That Kills” starring Kento Yamazaki.
With a relatively narrow vocal range and a simple, easy-to-remember melody line, it’s a song that’s easy to sing at karaoke.
Its catchy sense of speed and memorable chorus are packed with elements that will get everyone hyped.
It’s a popular track known across generations, so it’s a safe bet even for group hangouts.
READY STEADY GOL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
From the so-called V scene, across generations, and even people in New York like in this video—L’Arc are everyone’s stars.
When that little guy puts on makeup and gets on stage, he’s a star in everyone’s hearts.
People often associate L’Arc with the visual kei crowd, but their songs are actually pretty straightforward rock, so if you listen without prejudice, you’ll get hyped.
SaudadePorunogurafiti
This song, whose title means “nostalgia” in Portuguese, is a heartrending love ballad that deliberately uses feminine speech to depict the protagonist’s complex feelings at the end of a romance.
While accepting the breakup, it poignantly sings of lingering attachment and memories that remain deep in the heart, expressing down-to-earth emotions anyone can relate to.
Released in 2000, it reached a personal best of No.
1 on the weekly Oricon chart and became Porno Graffitti’s first million seller.
It features some slightly rapid-fire sections and a key change in the latter half, but its Latin-flavored sound is easy to groove to and makes it a crowd-pleaser for karaoke.
All’s well that ends well.kocchi no kento
This is a song released on April 8, 2025, created as the opening theme for the TV anime “Vigilante: My Hero Academia ILLEGALS.” It’s an up-tempo rock number that depicts a hero’s inner conflict and rebirth, making it a perfect karaoke practice song for improving rhythm, diction, and emotional expression! The real challenge is how well you can memorize the lyrics and keep up with the tempo.
As you listen, you’ll notice that Kento sings quite clearly and crisply, right? Not everything is delivered crisply, of course—this is where contrast and dynamics come into play.
First, I’d like you to feel the beat by clapping your hands or moving your body, and think about where to place the accents to make it easier to sing.
I recommend accenting the downbeat—the first beat.
Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento
Hai Yorokonde was released as a digital-only single.
It’s a soul-stirring anthem that stands with people struggling in life, and because it’s rhythm-focused, it’s the kind of song you can sing along to by feel even if you can’t nail the pitch! Since Kento Kochinoke often performed it on TV, many of you might already know this track.
It’s just under three minutes long, and it feels like all its coolness is packed tightly into that short span.
The tempo is fast, so memorizing the lyrics might be a bit tough, but what matters most is to “keep time with the rhythm” and “ride the groove.” For the rapid-fire sections, you can get through them by enunciating the vowels clearly.
It also helps not to open your mouth too wide.
poofKing Gnu
King Gnu is a band that has gained popularity for its highly original musicality.
While they have many tastefully crafted songs, they’re also known for having plenty of difficult ones.
Among their catalog, the track I especially recommend is Doron.
Known as the theme song for the film “Stolen Identity 2,” it has a gritty atmosphere and a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A# to hi A#.
On top of that, the melodic leaps up and down are quite intense, but the most challenging parts are the chorus and the C section.
When the chorus and C section hit, the tempo jumps up all at once, leaving few breathing points; combined with the sharp rises and falls in pitch, it makes nailing the intonation extremely difficult.
Old-fashionedback number
Released in November 2018 as the 19th single, this song was newly written as the theme for the TBS Friday drama “A Big Love: With You Who Forget Me.” It’s a gem of a love song that layers the miracle of an unexpected encounter and the memories that remain after parting with a lover onto the small, everyday motif of a donut.
The lyrics heighten the poignancy as they shift from a complementary relationship—“you had everything I was missing”—to a sense of loss recounted in the past tense.
Set at a mid-tempo pace, the melody should be easy to sing at karaoke!
