Men’s Favorite Band Rankings [2026] (71–80)
rose flowerkururi78rank/position
Among men in their 40s who were into Japanese rock, Quruli likely left a strong impression.
Unlike other J-rock bands, many were captivated by their music’s emphasis on a distinct worldview.
Of all Quruli’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Bara no Hana (Rose Flower).
This track is characterized by an ennui-tinged musical style, with a correspondingly calm and composed vocal line.
While it does feature a fair number of sustained notes, it doesn’t demand much vocal power, so there’s no need to worry too much.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Islanders’ TreasureBEGIN79rank/position
A signature song of Okinawa, widely known as the image song for NHK’s “30th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion to the Mainland.” It’s popular across generations, but when a man in his 50s sings it at karaoke or in a snack bar, the weight of his life experience adds persuasiveness, making it a great choice to warm up the room! Because the song itself has a gentle Okinawan feel, it’s better to sing softly, as if speaking, rather than belting it out.
The melody flows smoothly, so try to hit the pitch bar in a continuous, seamless way instead of chopping the phrases.
That will help bring out the right atmosphere!
Heart Throbsnobobyknows̟+80rank/position
A signature song by nobodyknows+ known for expressing the power of music and the thrill of the heart.
The lyrics, which embrace individuality and differences while depicting unity and euphoria, leave a strong impression.
Released in May 2004, it exploded in popularity after being performed on that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Included on the album “Do You Know?,” it topped the Oricon charts for two consecutive weeks.
Its sound, which fuses hip-hop and J-pop, has captured the hearts of people across generations.
It’s also perfect for karaoke or as background music at events—an ideal track when you want everyone to get hyped together.
Men’s Favorite Bands Ranking [2026] (81–90)
Song of the Eternal NightKami wa saikoro o furanai81rank/position
A song that gently embraces the ache of heartbreak.
Sung in a whispery voice, the lyrics vividly portray lingering attachment to a lost lover, regrets, and the ensuing emotional turmoil.
Released in May 2019, the track initially failed to chart, but it went viral on TikTok in 2020 and entered Billboard Japan’s streaming chart.
Its lyric video on YouTube has surpassed 10 million views.
The abstract lyrics spark listeners’ imaginations and may be the secret behind its popularity across a wide range of ages.
If you sing it at karaoke, putting your emotions into it might help showcase your charm.
We Will Rock YouQueen82rank/position
Included on their sixth album, News of the World, “We Will Rock You” is known as one of Queen’s signature songs.
Created so the audience could take part, its ensemble of just handclaps and foot stomps is simple yet tremendously impactful.
With its narrow vocal range and minimal dynamics, it’s perfect as an entry point to Western pop music.
It’s a massive hit that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to get everyone joining in for a rousing sing-along.
CQCQKamisama, boku wa kizuite shimatta83rank/position
The band’s debut song.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Anata no Koto wa Sorehodo” (I Love You Just a Little Bit).
The wide vocal range stands out here as well.
Still, the rock sound really comes through, and it’s a cool track.
The chorus is quite high, so boldness is key.
It’s fine to use falsetto—sing with all your might.
Don’t let your guard down until the very end.
I want to shout that I love you.BAAD84rank/position
It’s a timeless masterpiece etched in my heart along with memories of my nostalgic youth.
Beginning with a fresh morning scene, it portrays the protagonist’s emotions as they waver between friendship and romantic feelings, conveyed through a passionate melody and powerful vocals.
A signature work by BAAD, it was released as a single in December 1993 and used as the first opening theme for the TV anime SLAM DUNK.
In March 2021, it won the Users’ Choice Award at the Heisei Anisong Grand Prize, and it continues to be loved across generations.
With lyrics that explore universal themes such as the frustrations of love and the courage to take a step forward, it’s perfect for moments when you want to indulge in sweet, bittersweet memories of romance.
