[Men] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2026] (31–40)
cherry blossomKetsumeishi36rank/position
Ketsumeishi established a melodic rap style in the 2000s, appealing even to listeners who weren’t hip-hop fans and achieving nationwide popularity.
Their 2005 release “Sakura” is the landmark smash hit that truly brought their name into living rooms across the country.
Many people probably have memories of listening to their music in their twenties while driving with friends or a significant other.
Even in the Reiwa era, it remains a karaoke favorite.
Not only is the melodic part catchy enough to hum right away, but the rap sections aren’t particularly difficult, so even those who feel unsure about rapping should give it a try.
It can be a lot of fun to split the song with friends—one person handling the melody and another the rap!
HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel37rank/position
HONEY, one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature songs released in 1998, was used as the ending theme for TBS’s soccer information program Super Soccer.
It topped the Oricon singles chart and achieved million-seller status.
This rock number blends a seductive atmosphere with a simple, energetic beat, making it a massive hit that virtually anyone in their 30s has heard.
In 2016, it was also used as the ending theme for episode 4 of the TV anime ReLIFE.
B-BlueBOØWY38rank/position
Among men in their early 50s, many likely listened to BOØWY.
The band left behind numerous memorable rock classics, and among them, the song I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “B-Blue.” While its heart-pounding melody is striking, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.
It’s a song you can comfortably handle even when your voice is worn out after a second party, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LAKageyama Hironobu39rank/position
It’s one of Hironobu Kageyama’s signature songs and was used as the opening theme for the anime Dragon Ball Z, a track that has come to symbolize the series.
The song conveys an exciting sense of facing the unknown and the exhilaration of adventure, strongly evoking the story of the work itself.
The lyrics, which seem to express a swell of emotion, are striking; precisely because they string together words whose meanings can be hard to grasp, the feelings of fun and buoyant excitement come through even more strongly.
In the chorus, the title “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA” is shouted triumphantly, making you want to join in and amp up the energy together.
Tomorrow never knowsMr.Children40rank/position
Mr.Children is a four-member rock band now known by everyone as a monster act that has produced numerous hit songs.
Their sixth single, “Tomorrow never knows,” used as the theme song for the TV drama All About Youth (Wakamono no Subete), is a double million seller with sales approaching three million copies.
Its striking intro and wistful lyrics are sure to stir the hearts of those in their 50s.
As a universally recognized hit tune, it’s a number that will liven up any karaoke session, no matter the generation of the group.
[Men] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2026] (41–50)
Precious thingsroodo obu mejyaa41rank/position
The debut single by Road of Major passionately sings of the bittersweetness and hope of youth.
Released in September 2002, it powerfully portrays the importance of bonds, the sadness of parting, and the determination to set out on a new journey, all carried by a driving, exhilarating melody.
An exceptional feat for an indie single, it spent 19 consecutive weeks in the Oricon Top 10 and sold over 900,000 copies.
It is one of the band’s signature songs and was even used in 2009 as the commercial theme for the Mazda Mazda3 in Taiwan.
While it’s by no means easy to nail at karaoke, its refreshing melody makes it the perfect track for honestly conveying your feelings to someone important.
We are!kitadani hiroshi42rank/position
This is the song used as the very first opening theme for One Piece, a work that represents Japan.
As a track that symbolizes the series, it’s frequently heard and highly recognizable, which is a major characteristic.
The lyrics depict themes like voyaging and adventure, aligning with the story of the series and conveying an uplifting sense of setting out on a journey.
As the title suggests, the bond with one’s comrades is an important keyword shared by both the work and the song, and you can feel the energy coming from that as well.
Overall, it has a very bright atmosphere, so it’s a song I’d like to see performed with a lively smile, expressing the importance of friendship.
