Top karaoke songs that guys should sing to hype up a mixer (11–20)
KanadeSukima Suichi
This is the second single by Sukima Switch, released in March 2004.
Featured as an insert song in the film “Rough,” among many other tie-ins, this gem of a ballad portrays parting, growth, and the bonds that continue through music.
In 2006, it was also used as the ending theme for the final day of “Nettou Koshien,” and is widely known as a song symbolizing youthful farewells.
With its relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing and is a classic that almost everyone has heard, making it perfect for humming along with others at karaoke.
If you can handle the leaps in pitch and the falsetto in the chorus, there are plenty of satisfying moments—an evergreen crowd-pleaser that’s sure to be a hit even at group hangouts.
Love so sweetarashi
Arashi’s 18th single, released in 2007.
It became a major hit as the theme song for the TV drama Hana Yori Dango 2 (Returns), starring Jun Matsumoto.
Selling about 204,000 copies in its first week and approximately 429,000 copies over the year, this refreshing pop tune is marked by its bright, catchy melody that anyone can hum along to.
The vocal range isn’t too wide and the melody flows smoothly, making it a perfect choice for karaoke.
Sing it at a group mixer and it’s sure to lift the mood—give it a try!
A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota
Released in October 2015 as Shota Shimizu’s 20th single, this song was chosen as the theme for NHK’s Drama 10 series “Designer Baby: Detective Hayami’s Tough Case Before Maternity Leave.” The lyrics express a desire to convey love not through tangible things like bouquets or embraces, but through melody and voice.
It drew attention again in 2021 when it was performed on THE FIRST TAKE.
With a friendly melody line and a comfortable vocal range, it’s also easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s the perfect song to lift the mood with a gentle, soothing atmosphere.
countrysideTamaki Kōji
The 11th single by Koji Tamaki, released in July 1996.
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Coach,” peaked at No.
2 on the Oricon charts, and sold about 920,000 copies.
The song’s appeal lies in its warm message to people who are struggling yet striving to live, and its catchy melody that makes you want to hum along.
The vocal range is relatively narrow, so it should be singable regardless of voice type.
Although there are some slightly fast-paced parts, once you get into the rhythm, it should come naturally to sing!
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
This is the 17th single by Motohiro Hata, written as the theme song for the 3DCG animated film STAND BY ME Doraemon.
The lyrics, filled with gentle feelings for someone and the hope that you can meet again even when you’re apart, warmly embrace listeners’ hearts.
Released in August 2014, it became a long-running hit, surpassing one million downloads.
While the tempo is relaxed and easy to sing, the melody includes some leaps, so it’s best to sing it with care.
Beloved across generations, it’s a song that will surely captivate everyone if you choose it for karaoke.
Mega Lover of LoveMakishimamu Za Horumon
Horumon is most famous for this song, right? I feel like even the so-called death growl got trendy for a while because of it.
You could choose to power through and sing this whole song solo.
Women will be put off.
Men will call you a hero.
Even if they don’t, you can convince yourself you’re a hero.
Bloodshot your eyes and sing it with a wild look on your face.
TOKYO Communication ~Urbs Communication~SOUL’d OUT
Although they sadly disbanded, SOUL’d OUT definitely had a devoted fanbase.
They have various other hit songs, but when you think of SOUL’d OUT, it has to be this track.
With its skillful crossover of English and Japanese, it almost makes you think the entire lyrics are in English.
If you can pull this off at karaoke, other guys will be like, “Were you always this cool?” Probably.
RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
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.
Dance, please.DISH//
DISH//’s masterpiece Odoryanse, released digitally in September 2025.
It’s a highly unique track, with a distinct, shallow-sounding auto-tune applied throughout.
Overall it follows a J-rock flow, but the pre-chorus shifts into a slightly reggae-like feel, and the chorus unfolds with a murky, almost visual kei-style melody.
Because the song packs so many developments into a single track, it’s a bit less singable, but you can expect it to be a real crowd-pleaser in terms of energy.
Yume YumeONE OK ROCK
I think ONE OK ROCK is the band that every guy dreams of.
I’m always thinking, “If I’m going to do a band, I want to do ONE OK ROCK!” but the reality is it’s hard to find someone who can sing their keys…
That said, this time with “Yume Yume,” the vocal range is E3–C5, and there aren’t a lot of repeated high notes, so I think more people will be able to sing it.
However, it has more rap parts than singing… You might struggle with the rap sections when learning it! Try changing the playback speed on YouTube and practice by following the lyrics slowly.
If you can sing it, it should go over really well at karaoke, so it’s nice to have at least one ONE OK ROCK song in your repertoire!
