Men’s Favorite Classic Songs Ranking [2026] (81–90)
Stand by me, Stand by you.Hirai Dai81rank/position
It’s a love song by Dai Hirai about a fateful encounter.
The track portrays the miracle and gratitude of meeting the one person in a vast world and walking through life together.
It gently sings of irreplaceable love blossoming in everyday calm, carried by a soothing acoustic sound.
Released in September 2020, the song is included on the album “Life Goes On” and gained attention as the theme for the Mynavi Wedding commercial.
It’s a piece that reminds you of the blessing of having a partner by your side.
FlowerORANGE RANGE82rank/position
Thanks to a recent revival hit, the mixture rock band ORANGE RANGE is now attracting attention from younger generations as well.
They’ve produced many hit numbers, but among them, the song I recommend for men with lower voices is Hana.
It might not sound particularly low at first, but its lowest note is low G, so there are quite a few deep phrases.
The highest note is mid F (F4), which means the overall range is fairly narrow, making it easier to sing for men with lower voices.
I wonder if I’d still say it’s too late.Saucy Dog83rank/position
This is a Saucy Dog song that delicately portrays the bittersweet feelings after a heartbreak.
It conveys lingering attachment and regret toward a former lover, along with complex emotions about a new romance, resonating deeply with listeners.
Included on their 4th mini-album “Take Me,” it was released in September 2020.
The music video was directed by Ryoka Kumagai, and the members’ performances are striking.
With lyrics that anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to and a heartwarming melody, it’s especially appealing.
It might be nice to listen quietly alone and reflect on a past love.
It’s a song that lets you linger in your memories while giving you the courage to step into your next romance.
OverMr.Children84rank/position
It captures the quintessential early-’90s Mr.Children vibe: a guitar-band driven rock sound that keeps a pop sensibility, matched with introspective lyrics and a bittersweet melody.
The overall range is D3 to A#4, which might be slightly higher than the average male range.
Especially that chest-voice G#4 after the run of F4s in the chorus—you want that to come out smoothly, right? The key here is explosiveness.
If you deliver every phrase with a bit of an accent, you’ll build momentum and make it easier to project the voice.
After that, switch to falsetto.
To keep the momentum, send your breath straight upward.
At that moment, lifting your facial muscles will help things go more smoothly, so keep those facial muscles raised.
LA LA LA Love SongKubota Toshinobu85rank/position
A dramatic love song by Toshinobu Kubota that captures the exhilaration of romance, like riding a merry-go-round.
It gently embraces the hearts of those who feel lonely, singing about the joy of reclaiming life’s sparkle through a new encounter.
In 1996, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Long Vacation,” starring Takuya Kimura, and became a major cultural sensation alongside the show.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and surpassed total sales of 1.856 million copies, also earning an Excellent Work Award at the Japan Record Awards.
It’s the perfect song for moments when you want to bask in bittersweet memories of love or take a bold new step in life.
lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE86rank/position
The opening theme song for the TV anime “Oblivion Battery.” In karaoke, it’s a challenge-type rock number where a sense of speed and stable high notes are the keys to a high score! You’ll use both chest voice and falsetto, and the transitions can feel tricky, but because falsetto makes it easier to hit the right pitches, singing it naturally can really boost your score! Also, the melody line is surprisingly simple and easy to follow.
There’s a section in triple meter partway through, so be sure to lock in with the rhythm.
If the range feels high, adjust the key to what’s comfortable for you—another tip for aiming at a perfect 100! Try singing lightly without straining your voice too much.
DarlingMrs. GREEN APPLE87rank/position
A perfect Mrs.
GREEN APPLE track to hear during graduation season, when anxiety and excitement mix.
The lyrics question your true self and gently urge you to love yourself—including your weaknesses—giving you the courage to take a new step forward.
Written as the theme song for NHK General’s “Mrs.
GREEN APPLE 18 Festival” in January 2025, the song is also included on their best-of album “10,” released in July of the same year.
On the program, a chorus performance with 1,000 18-year-olds was showcased, and its sheer energy became a hot topic.
When you’re straining to meet others’ expectations, listening to this will remind you it’s okay to be just the way you are.
It’s also perfect for belting out at karaoke with friends as you celebrate each other’s new beginnings!
I’ve always liked you.Saitō Kazuyoshi88rank/position
A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.
The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and a voice that resonates in the heart quietly convey unfulfilled feelings and a love that passed by.
Kazuyoshi Saito’s tender vocals and guitar beautifully express nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.
Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme song for Shiseido’s IN&ON series commercials.
Since February 2017, it has also been used in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to comfort many listeners.
It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or during long-awaited get-togethers, wrapped in fond memories.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and its universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi89rank/position
A signature song by Sukima Switch, this pop track carries an encouraging message about dreams and taking on challenges.
With a lively band sound and a fairly fast tempo, you’ll need to keep the beat with your body so you don’t fall behind.
The overall vocal range is C3–A4, and it jumps into the high register in the chorus, so it’s recommended for singers who are good with high notes.
If high notes aren’t your strength, it’s fine to lower the key to make the chorus easier to sing, but be careful not to let the low notes in the verse get lost.
When you sing, lifting your facial muscles right before the chorus will help you hit the first note smoothly!
Moechakka FireIssei90rank/position
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?
