[Men] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2026]

Crimson Bow and ArrowLinked Horizon85rank/position

Attack on Titan - Guren no Yumiya (Full)

This is a song by the music unit Linked Horizon, led by sound creator Revo.

Linked Horizon is an alternate name used by Sound Horizon for tie-in songs, and they were selected to perform the opening theme for the anime Attack on Titan.

The piece features various developments that feel like it’s expressing a story through music, and it also incorporates the tense worldview of Attack on Titan, which is a key point.

In singing, conveying the worldview is essential—it’s important to infuse the performance with the strength to face adversity and a sense of determination.

Since the song unfolds almost like multiple pieces in one, it may be best to listen closely and get thoroughly familiar with it.

There are also parts where you rally those around you to shout powerfully together, so keep that in mind and really build up the energy there.

A third of pure-hearted feelings

Do you know the passionate love song that colored the late-’90s J-Rock scene? Released as a single by SIAM SHADE in November 1997, it was used as the ending theme for the hugely popular anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story and became the band’s biggest hit.

Also included on the album SIAM SHADE IV: Zero, this classic masterfully fuses hard-edged instrumentation with a catchy melody.

One of its greatest charms is that, despite the band’s high level of musicianship, the chorus is so familiar and easy for anyone to sing along to.

It’s incredibly well-known—just the intro is enough to trigger cheers.

Try singing it when you want to create a sense of unity at a get-together with friends from the same generation!

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Pearl

This song, with its powerful guitar sound and Kazuya Yoshii’s captivating vocals, is probably familiar to many of you.

While it explores themes of loneliness and isolation, the lyrics also suggest hope and new beginnings.

In August 2000, it was used as the image song for Nippon TV’s “Gekikukan Puro Yakyū.” Its exhilarating, fast-paced melody brings back memories of youthful days.

Sing it at karaoke and it’s sure to get people of all generations fired up! It’s also perfect for reflecting on your own youth as you sing.

Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira89rank/position

Tomohisa Yamashita, Kazuya Kamenashi, Shuuji to Akira, Seishun Amigo

The famous song “Seishun Amigo,” known as the theme for the popular drama Nobuta wo Produce, is sung by the duo Shuuji to Akira—Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi.

It features a passionate melody with a slight kayōkyoku flavor, yet it also carries a certain laid-back, Heisei-era nonchalance that leaves an impression.

Although falsetto appears, the overall range is narrow, so even men in their 30s can sing it comfortably while reminiscing.

Until we meet againOzaki Kiyohiko90rank/position

In memory of Kiyohiko Ozaki — “Until the Day We Meet Again” (Mata Au Hi Made) HD

Kiyohiko Ozaki, who is a quarter British and Japanese.

Many people have been captivated by his voice, which feels unlike that of a typical Japanese singer.

“Mata Au Hi Made” is one of his signature songs and has been covered by many artists.

It’s a fairly challenging song, but if you can sing it through, it will definitely get the crowd going.

Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi91rank/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!
