[Men] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2026] (41–50)
Bunny GirlAKASAKI50rank/position
The song “Bunny Girl,” so popular that there’s hardly a day you don’t hear it on TikTok or Instagram, is the signature work of the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.
It’s characterized by an exceptionally light, catchy rhythm.
Despite how pleasant and bouncy it sounds—which might come as a surprise—the piece actually has a very narrow vocal range.
As long as you set the key appropriately, people of any voice type can sing it.
The vocal line is rhythmic but doesn’t require any complex pitch movement, and there are no long sustained notes, so even those without strong vocal skills can sing it with confidence.
[Male] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2026] (51–60)
karmaBUMP OF CHICKEN51rank/position
BUMP OF CHICKEN is a four-piece rock band that has influenced many musicians, and their evolution shows no sign of stopping.
Their 11th single “Karma,” released as a double A-side with “supernova,” was produced as the theme song for the video game Tales of the Abyss.
Its driving ensemble, featuring edgy guitar sounds, is sure to get people hyped even at karaoke.
Since the overall key is low, it’s easy to choose even for those who aren’t confident singers, making it a rock tune recommended for listeners in their 30s.
SAY YESCHAGE and ASKA52rank/position
CHAGE and ASKA is a music duo formed by two high school classmates, although ASKA announced his departure in 2021.
Their 27th single, SAY YES, known as the theme song for the TV drama “The 101st Proposal,” became a massive hit, achieving double million sales thanks in part to the show’s popularity.
Its ethereal ensemble, rich with depth, still brings scenes from the drama to mind even today.
It’s an easy song to sing at karaoke, but if possible, we hope you’ll also try the beautiful harmonies—it’s an enduring ballad classic.
to youMONGOL80053rank/position
Among people in their 40s, those in the early half may be more familiar with Japanese rock.
In particular, I think many were fans of MONGOL800.
With that in mind, I recommend their song “Anata ni.” The vocal range for this track is quite narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.
While mid1 D is slightly low and doesn’t leave much room to lower the key, men with naturally low voices will likely find the original key comfortably singable, so it shouldn’t be a major issue.
The pitch stays fairly consistent, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS54rank/position
A classic hit released by THE BLUE HEARTS in the 1990s.
The lyrics, themed around a passionate rose, express eternity, truth, and the inner conflicts of human beings.
Carrying a message to nurture the powerful emotions deep within our hearts, it has become a song that resonates with many.
Released in July 1990, it became the band’s first single to reach No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
It was also used as a TV drama theme song and has been loved across generations.
Its catchy chorus and Hiroto Kōmoto’s powerful vocals leave a strong impression, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
It’s perfect for moments like company parties or class reunions when you want to have fun while feeling a touch of nostalgia.
hologramNICO Touches the Walls55rank/position
While stylishly digesting influences from Western music and solidly adapting them into a J-pop format, NICO Touches the Walls carved out a unique presence.
Although they sadly disbanded in 2019, many people now in their thirties were likely fans.
Their classic song Hologram is a must-try at karaoke.
As the opening theme for the second season of the hugely popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, even those not deeply familiar with the band have probably heard it.
Its cool, driving energy, emo-rock-style guitar phrases, and soaring vocals deliver a catchy melody that captivates even first-time listeners.
The chorus does include moments with slightly higher notes, but overall the melody is easy to sing; if you have a lower voice, adjusting the key will make it more approachable.
Sly womanSha ran Q56rank/position
Sharan Q is a four-piece rock band that gained popularity with songs spanning a wide range of styles, from cool to comical.
Their 7th single, ‘Zurai Onna’ (Sly Woman), which was used as the ending theme for the variety show ‘Imada Koji no Shibuya-kei Uraringo,’ became their biggest hit, selling over a million copies.
Its sentimental lyrics, evoking a sense of mature romance, may resonate even more deeply with those in their 40s today.
With its sexy ensemble that stirs the emotions, it’s also a great choice for karaoke.
