[For Men] Want to Hype Up the Karaoke? A Roundup of Recommended Upbeat J-Pop Songs (21–30)
together; along with; bothWANIMA
It’s WANIMA’s second single and was used in Nivea Kao’s “8×4 Body Fresh” commercial.
The chorus really sticks in your head—even for me.
The overall vocal range is G#3 to D#5, which is on the higher side, and the tempo is an ultra-fast BPM 254, but if you lock into the band’s rhythm and sing along, your energy will definitely rise and it should actually make it easier to project your voice! If you let your guard down even for a moment, your pitch will drop into your throat and it’ll get harder to sing, so you need to keep your facial muscles lifted at all times.
For the rapid-fire section in the latter half, first run through the melody line and pronounce it lightly to get it under your belt!
Adventure Beyondchōtokkyū
It’s a full-on, high-energy uptempo track that’s so typical of Choutokkyuu, and it really gets the crowd going at live shows, with lots of call-and-response parts where everyone can shout together! The overall vocal range is two octaves, from C#3 to C#5, but thanks to the headbanging sections and the many unique lyrics sprinkled with otaku terms and internet slang, you’ll find the high notes come out easily if you sing brightly and keep the hype up.
Don’t worry about pitch—just have fun singing, that’s the most important thing! By the way, I love Ryoga’s funny faces during the song and I always burst out laughing, lol.
Definitely check out the video!

Everything becomes my strength!kuzu
One of Kuzu’s signature songs and also a popular anthem.
To score high in karaoke, focus on powerful projection and a solid sense of rhythm, and make sure to let your emotions burst in the chorus.
The pre-chorus has a fast-paced rhythm, so while the lyrics matter, locking into the beat is the top priority.
Put a clear accent on the first beat and sing smoothly to fall into the groove.
Also, since the first sound of the chorus is “ki,” be careful not to pull your mouth too wide horizontally.
Create space inside your mouth and think of lightly humming as you let the sound out—you’ll be able to sing without straining!
white noiseOfisharu Higedan Dism
It’s the opening theme song for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown Arc.
During vocal training, my students and I were getting excited, saying, “That intro is so cool!” The song itself blends a driving feel with emotional lyrics, making it fairly challenging.
I recommend it for men who want to train range, tempo, and expressiveness all around.
One of my students even used the final melodic section to work on high notes.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to D#5—exactly two octaves.
For the high notes, the key is to avoid pushing too hard and instead create impact by keeping the sound relaxed and open.
By the way, when I told my student, “Don’t force it—send your voice far,” they were able to release tension and sing with a great tone.
Give it a try as a reference!
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.
reasonable; natural; proper; fault; especiallyyuzu
Released in August 2025, this is a rock ballad chosen as the theme song for the TV anime “Pokémon: Episode Mega Evolution,” powerfully singing about the meaning of life and the resolve to live! The Japanese flavor you feel right from the intro is a great touch too.
Since it’s by Yuzu, the vocal range is fairly wide at F3–B4.
However, there aren’t any excessively high notes, so as long as your timing is on point, it’s a song you can sing entirely in chest voice.
Avoid straining your throat—lift your soft palate and keep the breath flowing steadily.
When you make a surprised face, do you feel the space opening toward the back of your mouth? That’s your soft palate.
Momentum matters, so take a solid breath and project your voice without hesitation! It’s also recommended to ride the rhythm and sing with higher energy to boost the vibe.
karmaBUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s the theme song of the game “Tales of the Abyss.” Although it’s a game theme, it’s a classic you can sing at karaoke with anyone thanks to the fact that it’s by the famous band BUMP OF CHICKEN, its upbeat tempo, and its cool guitar sound and melody!
