Most Popular Songs Among Men Ranking [2026]

Voice of the Seaurashima tarō (kiritani kenta)91rank/position

"The Voice of the Sea" Full ver. / Urashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani) [Official]

The hit song “Umi no Koe” was born from an au commercial.

It was composed by the Okinawan band BEGIN, and the vocals are sung by Kenta Kiritani, who plays Urashima Taro.

Since Kiritani is primarily an actor, the vocal line is crafted to be very simple.

While the arrangement doesn’t particularly emphasize the low register, you can sing from the first verse through the chorus using a resonant, overtoned delivery that adds fullness.

It’s recommended for those who want to emphasize thickness rather than sheer depth.

rendezvous

Released by Shitope in April 2023, this work is a song that vividly captures the emotions of a man right after a breakup.

With relatable yet distinctive metaphors—like losing his appetite and finding that even cream-filled bread has no taste—it sharply highlights the pain of separation.

The languid, sweet vocals and expansive choral work resonate as if enveloping the bittersweet ache of heartbreak.

It topped Spotify’s Viral Chart and has surpassed 300 million total streams.

It’s a track that deeply comforts those who have just lost someone precious and are not yet ready to accept reality.

Moechakka Fire / Issei: MUSIC VIDEO

A track by Issei that weaves synth sounds with an addictive melody, themed around a cool, detached maid-outfit character.

Released as a character song for the game Zenless Zone Zero, unveiled in July 2024, the piece channels modern people’s craving for approval and their sense of alienation from society, all over a bold, driving beat.

Its alluring low-register vocals—seemingly detached from the music video’s character—leave a strong impression.

How about belting it out at karaoke to express a different side of yourself?

EXILE / Lovers Again (Short Ver.)

Just hearing the intro makes you feel as if a winter landscape is unfolding.

Among EXILE’s many masterpieces, this song is cherished as a ballad that leaves a deep mark on the heart.

Carried by a smooth R&B beat, it tells the poignant feelings of a man who can’t help but search for traces of a former lover.

The lingering attachment and regrets for an irretrievable past are pains that everyone experiences at least once.

Released in January 2007 as their 22nd single, it was also featured in a KDDI “au LISMO” commercial, so many people likely heard it at the time.

The vocals capture wavering emotions beautifully, gently keeping you company on a lonely night.

It’s a song you’ll want to play when a passing moment brings back those days, when you want to quietly immerse yourself in memories alone.

Overdosenatori95rank/position

Natori – Overdose

Natori’s vocals, with a gentle, whispering tone, ooze a sense of danger and heartache like a forbidden love.

It’s a shocking love song that portrays the maddening feelings of two people who can’t escape, even as they cling to a false relationship.

Riding on a pleasant electropop melody, the urge to escape reality intertwines with self-destructive emotions.

Featured on the album “Gekijō” released in December 2023, this track also drew attention as the song for Nike’s Air Max Excee commercial.

It’s a must-listen for anyone who feels on the verge of losing their way, or who wants to pursue love without worrying about others’ eyes.
