[For Men] Want to Fire Up the Karaoke? A Roundup of Recommended High-Energy Japanese Songs (41–50)
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.
Day by DayMEGARYU
This is a song that was sung quite a lot at karaoke.
The mixed male-and-female vocals feel great.
It’s gentle, but it has an easy-to-catch pop groove, so it’s perfect for karaoke.
It seems like it would feel good to sing while swaying your body.
A Love Song Even a Monkey Could Understandsekkusu mashiin
The quirky title grabs your attention, but what kind of song is it, really? Open it up and, sure enough, it’s a straightforward love song simple enough for even a monkey to understand.
Maybe it’s that no-frills directness—“I love you”—that really captures the heart.
It’s a perfect fit for a group date, too.
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze
Shonan no Kaze are famous as the group that brought Japanese reggae into the public eye.
All of their songs are well-known, but among them, the one that’s especially loved as a signature track is “Suirenka.” Its full-on summer sound and fiery lyrics are undeniably cool, making it perfect for when you want to get pumped up.
With a musical style that exudes masculinity, it’s easy to see why they’re especially popular with men.
Bacchi DancerDOES
DOES is a rock band that’s extremely popular with male listeners.
Many people may have come to like them through the anime Gintama.
Among DOES’s songs, one I especially recommend is Bakuchi Dancer.
It’s a sharp, punchy rock track, but the vocal range is very compact at mid1D to mid2E.
Plus, the singing style is mainly a spit-it-out delivery, so it doesn’t require delicate vocals and is exceptionally easy to sing.
Tasty Beating SoundDa‑iCE
Da-iCE is a dance and vocal group known for their many challenging songs.
“Tasty Beating Sound,” released in September 2025, ranks among the most difficult of their recent tracks.
Its vocal range spans from mid1D to hiC.
It’s not just high; the lower notes go fairly deep as well, making key selection tricky, and the melody features sharp rises and falls.
The one saving grace is that, fitting its comical tone, the song uses fewer long sustained notes.
Despite its playful vibe, it’s an exceptionally difficult piece—definitely worth a challenge.
Call meNovelbright
Although they are a rock band, Novelbright also enjoys idol-like popularity.
Among both men and women, many people in their teens to early twenties are likely fans.
Their new song “Call me” has a very refreshing melody.
While it’s pleasant to listen to, the difficulty level is quite high: in the repeated chorus sections, there’s a falsetto close to a mixed-voice quality.
For men with a typical vocal range, the hi D# is a pitch that easily flips, making it a high-tone phrase that’s tricky to control.
If you’re confident in your high notes, definitely give it a try.
