[Men] Popular Karaoke Rankings [2026]

Voice of the Seaurashima tarō (kiritani kenta)50rank/position

"The Voice of the Sea" Full ver. / Urashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani) [Official]

The hit song “Umi no Koe” was born from an au commercial.

It was composed by the Okinawan band BEGIN, and the vocals are sung by Kenta Kiritani, who plays Urashima Taro.

Since Kiritani is primarily an actor, the vocal line is crafted to be very simple.

While the arrangement doesn’t particularly emphasize the low register, you can sing from the first verse through the chorus using a resonant, overtoned delivery that adds fullness.

It’s recommended for those who want to emphasize thickness rather than sheer depth.

It’s love, right?wacci51rank/position

wacci 'Koi Daro' Music Video

I’ve been posting songs with the theme of “men with low voices,” and many of my students are “men with low voices” too! One of them has been practicing wacci’s “Koidaro.” In this song, the chorus jumps up in range to F#4, but the lowest note is a pretty low B2, which actually appears multiple times throughout.

How about first making sure you can firmly produce those easier low notes, and then try tackling the high notes with some momentum? Of course, it’s totally fine to start with falsetto instead of chest voice! If you keep singing, there will definitely be a point where it clicks, so I think it’s worth giving it a go even if it feels “a bit high.” Just don’t push yourself!

Shonan no Kaze “Junrenka” MUSIC VIDEO (Original ver.)

Lately, Japanese reggae has been quietly regaining popularity.

I imagine many younger listeners are starting to take an interest in reggae.

In that spirit, I’d like to recommend “Junrenka.” Rather than a dancehall track, it’s a reggae song with a strong pop flavor, featuring an extremely catchy melody.

The stark contrast between Wakadanna and HAN-KUN makes it a great candidate for a male duet.

In any case, it was a massive hit in the Heisei era, so it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going—definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Blue BenchSasuke53rank/position

Blue Bench / Sasuke

This song portrays the heartache of love, expressing the protagonist’s deep longing and regret as they look back on a past romance.

Memories of a tree-lined road, a train station, and the symbolic “blue bench” are recounted, conveying the lingering pain of an unforgotten love.

Released in April 2004 as an indie debut single and sold only at CD shops in their hometown of Ōmiya, it spread by word of mouth and became an extraordinary hit.

In March 2009, it even reached No.

1 on the iTunes J-POP chart, and it remains a beloved song to this day.

Highly recommended for anyone who feels the bittersweetness and regret of love, as it will resonate deeply with the heart.

The timeless hit “YAH YAH YAH” is a masterwork by CHAGE and ASKA that continues to give courage and energy to people of all generations.

With its energetic intro, it instantly creates an upbeat atmosphere.

The lyrics are simple yet relatable, with an irresistible familiarity that makes anyone want to sing along.

It’s perfect not only for karaoke, but also for boosting positivity in everyday life.

When this song plays, the space fills with a nostalgic yet fresh dynamism.

We hope you’ll enjoy “YAH YAH YAH” in a variety of situations.

Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number55rank/position

back number – Takane no Hanako-san (full)

Among back number’s songs, the massive hit is “Takane no Hanako-san.” The overall vocal range spans E3 to D5, which is fairly wide, but the melody is clearly divided into sections with distinct ranges, making it easier to switch between parts while singing.

Also, the tempo is surprisingly fast, so it’s best to lean forward a bit and sing proactively so you don’t get left behind.

In particular, the latter half has many sections where you’re singing continuously, so the key is to use your body to keep a steady rhythm as you sing.

In the quieter chorus section in the middle, using a gentle tone will let your voice carry and make it easier to sing.

Gray and Blue (+Masaki Suda)Yonezu Kenshi56rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Gray and Blue (+Masaki Suda)

This is a track whose beautiful, fleeting sound and lyrics—portraying the aching feelings of two childhood companions who grow apart as they become adults—strike straight at the heart.

Included on singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu’s album BOOTLEG, released in October 2017, the song also drew major attention for featuring actor Masaki Suda as a guest vocalist.

It contrasts the past, when they laughed together without a care, with the present, as they each walk their own path.

Its message—suggesting a bond that remains deep inside no matter how much time passes—gently encourages men setting out for different places.

After graduation, when you feel anxious or lonely about a new life ahead, why not listen to it while reminiscing about an old friend?
