[Men] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2026] (81–90)
My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu81rank/position
This was Southern All Stars’ third single, released in March 1979.
Up until this release, Southern were known for a hot, powerful, and comedic image—slightly risqué, even—so dropping a suddenly wistful slow ballad as a single must have surprised many people who were listening to them in real time back then.
I was actually one of those people myself.
It’s a song where Kuwata’s decidedly “manly” vocals shine in every sense, so even though it’s a slow ballad, when you sing it at karaoke, don’t fuss over the small details—immerse yourself fully in the song’s world.
I’m sure you’ll feel great singing it, and your friends listening will feel something too.
And it’s essential that everyone joins in at the start of the chorus!
Christmas EveYamashita Tatsuro82rank/position
If you’re in your 40s, chances are you listened to or sang this song quite a lot.
Every Christmas season it plays on TV and radio, and it’s become something of a winter tradition.
Since its release in December 1983, it has been a long-selling hit that keeps boosting its sales every holiday season.
Tatsuro Yamashita’s warm vocals and the gentle, laid-back melody really resonate with the heart.
It became even more famous after 1988, when it was used in JR Tokai’s commercials.
If you’re singing it at karaoke, putting real feeling into it will make for an even more memorable performance.
Boy in the back alleyHamada Shogo83rank/position
Shogo Hamada’s debut single, released in April 1976.
Since its release as his debut that year, several remade versions have been produced.
The song depicts the period when Hamada was living in Yokohama, from age 16 to 22—his ronin (gap year) days through his time at Kanagawa University—and it was written the day before his 23rd birthday, which is why the last line ends with “22.” I was also born in 1967, and I remember strongly relating to the worldview expressed in the lyrics when I first heard the song as a teenager.
When you sing it at karaoke, try to recall those sensitive, formative years.
Rather than aiming to “sing it well,” it’s better to deliver it with straightforward emotional expression.
I want to shout that I love you.BAAD84rank/position
When it comes to iconic youth anthems of the ’90s, this song is the one.
I’m sure not only the title but also the chorus pops into your head.
Released in December 1993 as the opening theme for the TV anime SLAM DUNK, it became BAAD’s signature track.
Its lyrics about passionate love resonated with many and have been cherished for years.
It’s the perfect song to crank up the energy at karaoke.
Why not belt it out and relive the fiery emotions of your youth?
Crimson Bow and ArrowLinked Horizon85rank/position
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.
