This song is characterized by a heart-piercing vocal performance and profound lyrics.
It was released in June 1994 as Mr.Children’s fifth single.
Used as the commercial song for Japan Coca-Cola’s Aquarius, it became a massive hit.
The lyrics depict a journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of dreams, carrying a message that resonates deeply with many listeners.
It also topped the annual karaoke charts for two consecutive years, so why not give it a try yourself?
Shanghai HoneyORANGE RANGE30rank/position
A track featuring a distinctive fusion of mixture rock and J-pop that captures a man’s emotions as he enjoys the push-and-pull of summer seaside romance.
It opens with bright, sunlit imagery and conveys a complex mix of excitement, anticipation, insecurity, and frustration.
Released in July 2003, it became a hit, selling over 200,000 copies despite having no tie-in.
Live performances feature staging that heightens the sense of unity with the audience.
It’s a perfect song to amp up a karaoke session or to use as BGM for summer events.

[Men] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2026] (31–40)
In the night sky after the rainImawano Kiyoshirō31rank/position
Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.
Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.
While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.
The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Go for it!Urufuruzu32rank/position
This is a fantastic track that gives you confidence and energy.
Its disco-style rhythm, catchy guitar lines, and positive message are compelling, giving you the courage to try without fearing failure.
Released by Ulfuls in December 1995, the song’s exposure on TV and in the media at the time rapidly boosted the band’s popularity.
Included on the album “Banzai,” it led to their first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1996, and that same year they also won the Golden Arrow Music Award.
It’s the perfect song for when you need courage to keep facing challenges or want to fire yourself up.
It’s also great for getting hyped together with friends and uniting your hearts as one!
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze33rank/position
Men born in the late ’80s to early ’90s might feel a strong sense of nostalgia—this was the go-to song whenever you wanted to hype things up at karaoke, right? “Suirenka” has plenty of moments to get everyone going, like the chorus parts and the towel-spinning! If you’ve got both the main vocalist and the rapper covered, you can enjoy the song with a nice balance.
HAN-KUN, the main vocalist, sings in a relatively high key, so if you’re comfortable with high notes, definitely give it a try.
If you’re not used to high notes but still want to sing it, start by focusing on resonating in your head.
Practicing falsetto and airy tones uses a lot of breath.
It also helps to sing all the lyrics as “hi,” which makes head resonance easier.
Master those high notes and give it a shot!
RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION34rank/position
People in their late 20s to early 30s are the generation that lived through the golden age of Japanese rock.
Among those bands, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION was especially popular with men.
Of all their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Rewrite.
It stays in a low register for much of the track, which makes the chorus feel explosively open by contrast, and the almost roar-like phrases really fire up the crowd.
Because the verses sit so low, it’s tempting to raise the key, but if you match it to that, the chorus will be tough—so find a comfortable middle ground and sing in a moderately adjusted key.
Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE35rank/position
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is known for having many high tones.
When asked to name an artist with a high voice, many people probably picture the vocalist, Motoki Omori.
Although Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is strongly associated with high notes, there are no high-pitched parts in Bitter Vacation.
Compared to typical songs, it’s about average, but for a Mrs.
track, the vocal range is quite narrow.
In particular, there is no use of mixed voice or falsetto at all, so even men who can’t sing high notes can perform it without any problem.
