Top Japanese Pop Karaoke Rankings for Men [2026]

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

AKASAKI’s track “Bunny Girl” became a viral hit on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts, gaining nationwide popularity.

Among men in their 20s, there are probably very few who haven’t heard it.

Despite its popularity, the song actually boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges in Japanese music.

Perhaps because the vocal line is also quite simple, it’s very easy to follow the pitch—there aren’t even any long notes or ad-libs—so as long as you match the pitch, scoring over 90 is easily within reach.

PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism2rank/position

Official HIGE DANDism – Pretender [Official Video]

Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “Pretender” is arguably the most well-known.

Many of you have probably heard it at least once.

Although it’s known as a difficult piece, that reputation mainly comes from its prominent high notes; in fact, its overall vocal range isn’t all that wide.

The vocal line has relatively large rises and falls, but those demanding phrases don’t appear in succession.

Therefore, as long as you have the stamina to sustain the high register, it’s actually a surprisingly singable song.

Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi3rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Eine Kleine

I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think many of his tracks are easy for low-voiced men to sing.

The range of “Eine Kleine” is C#3–G#4.

Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the chorus high notes a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without forcing your chest voice.

To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of rasp—both can enhance the vibe.

If I were a man, I’d definitely include Kenshi Yonezu’s songs in my repertoire.

Give them a try, everyone!

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki4rank/position

Masaki Suda “Sayonara Elegy”

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.

A Little Love SongMONGOL8005rank/position

A Little Love Song

It’s a coming-of-age love song that’s been adored across generations since its release on September 16, 2001.

The overall vocal range of the song is A#2 to G#4, and anyone who’s tried singing it has probably felt how wide the lower range is.

If you’re not used to singing low notes, your voice can get muffled and it becomes hard to sing.

In fact, when you’re not accustomed to a certain part of your range—whether low or high—you use more breath than you think.

You need to inhale with diaphragmatic breathing, and you also need to fully exhale the breath you’ve taken in.

Many people surprisingly don’t exhale completely, so for low notes, project your voice forward slowly and make sure to breathe out fully.

If you can nail the low notes in the A melody, you can suddenly aim for a high score!

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN6rank/position

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Stargazing”

Despite having nearly 30 years of activity, the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN is still at the forefront.

They have many famous songs, but among them, the most well-known is probably Tentai Kansoku.

The song’s vocal range spans from low G# to mid2 G#, with the lower register being quite deep.

Since a mid2 F appears in the final chorus, if you adjust the key so that you can sing that part solidly, it shouldn’t feel particularly difficult.

KanadeSukima Suichi7rank/position

Sukima Switch – “Kanade” Music Video : SUKIMASWITCH / KANADE Music Video

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.
