[Male] Popular Karaoke Rankings [2026] (1–10)

HANABIMr.Children8rank/position

Mr.Children 「HANABI」 MUSIC VIDEO
HANABIMr.Children

Mr.Children is a band that arguably the Heisei generation listened to the most.

Whether you’re in your 30s born in the Showa era or in your 30s born in the Heisei era, you’ve probably sung one of their songs at least once.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is HANABI.

It features a chorus full of excitement, yet the pitch movement is relatively steady, so you can sing it at an after-party karaoke without pushing yourself too hard.

However, it does include quite a few low G-sharp notes, so a certain depth in vocal range is required.

bouquetback number9rank/position

back number – Bouquet (Short ver.)

This is the second single by back number, a three-piece rock band that also made waves when filmmaker Yasuyuki Yamaguchi produced a short film based on the song.

Chosen as the ending theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV, it opens with a guitar sound full of melancholy that evokes a nostalgic feeling.

The gentle lyrics and melody, which hint at the future, could be the kind of message women would like men to sing.

The key isn’t too high, making it easy to sing at karaoke—a simple yet undeniably cool number if you can pull it off.

broad daylightKing Gnu10rank/position

King Gnu’s signature song, “Hakujitsu.” If you like singing, you’ve probably tried it at least once.

How did it go when you actually sang it? The more you attempt it, the more you realize just how incredibly difficult it is! “Hakujitsu” is a powerhouse ballad that demands delicate emotion and overwhelming vocal ability.

It’s a challenge piece for advanced singers at karaoke, training your range, rhythm, and expressiveness all at once.

I’ve sung it a few times myself and was shocked—“Was it always this hard?” Since King Gnu’s vocals are split between two singers, it’s pretty tough to pull off solo.

Still, you’ll want to master Iguchi’s falsetto parts.

Be very mindful of diaphragmatic breathing! Once you can produce a solid falsetto, the pitches themselves aren’t that hard, so the key is to exhale steadily and generously with a thin stream of air.

KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

Among the theme songs of the popular anime Naruto Shippuden, Silhouette is one of the most well-known.

While its melody leaves an impression of cheerful, gentle brightness, the song actually has a relatively narrow vocal range.

Its range spans from mid2 A to hi B.

Although the highest note is on the higher side, the lowest note being mid2 A makes it easy to lower the key as needed.

The vocal line also has gentle rises and falls, making it a song where tracking pitch is relatively easy.

Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB12rank/position

JAL Okinawa Campaign Summer Rikyu 1990 Theme Song: "Kome Kome Club - Roman Hikou"
Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB

Romantic Flight is a piece with an exceptionally smooth and pleasant melody.

It’s renowned as a classic by Kome Kome Club, but many younger people may know it from Kukki of the comedy duo Wild Bomb.

The song’s vocal range spans from low G# to mid2 G, which is somewhat narrow compared to modern songs.

However, as the lowest note indicates, the lower register is fairly important here.

If you have a high voice and don’t raise the key across the board, you might go off pitch in the low range and lose points.

Make sure to assess your own vocal range carefully before singing.

cloudy skyDOES13rank/position

DOES 'Donten' (TV Tokyo anime 'Gintama' opening theme)
cloudy skyDOES

As the opening theme for the fifth season of the TV Tokyo anime Gintama, a lot of people probably think of Don’ten when they hear Gintama! DOES is a band whose lower registers resonate more than the high ones.

It’s a rock track popular with men for karaoke, where stable low notes and a raw expressive style are key to high scores! The song itself is short at about three minutes.

Even first-time listeners can pick up Don’ten easily, and it’s highly recommended for rock fans! The trick to low notes is to use your breath well and release your voice slowly straight ahead.

If you push your voice out, the low notes resonate more and you can hear your own singing better.

That, of course, makes it easier to stay on pitch.

It’s important to get your voice solidly into the mic when you sing.

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s masterpiece “Kusushiki.” This song has been selected as the theme for the popular anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” and, along with the anime’s success, it has been drawing a great deal of public attention.

In terms of melody, it’s in the energetic major key that Mrs.

GREEN APPLE excels at, spanning from the mid-low to high vocal range.

Not only does it feature falsetto and mixed voice, but it also delivers a powerful presence throughout, so using this piece as a practice song will significantly boost your vocal skills.
