Hype Karaoke. Men’s Rankings [2026] (1–10)

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN8rank/position

Despite having nearly 30 years of activity, the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN is still at the forefront.

They have many famous songs, but among them, the most well-known is probably Tentai Kansoku.

The song’s vocal range spans from low G# to mid2 G#, with the lower register being quite deep.

Since a mid2 F appears in the final chorus, if you adjust the key so that you can sing that part solidly, it shouldn’t feel particularly difficult.

DEEN “I Want to Steal You Away Just Like This <Kiseki Version>”
I want to take only you away just like this.DEEN

It was DEEN’s debut single, released in 1993.

Released during the golden age of J-pop, it became a massive hit, so I imagine most men in their 50s are familiar with this song.

It was also used in an NTT Docomo commercial.

At the time of its release, it truly was the golden era of J-pop, and making a song a hit basically required it to be frequently chosen in the karaoke market.

This track likely reflects that context strongly; it’s crafted to be very easy for anyone to remember and sing.

I think it’s a top choice to select for karaoke.

Please enjoy!

If you’re in your early forties, I imagine many of you used to listen to or sing this song a lot back in the day.

It starts with a gentle first verse and gradually builds up, and the chorus—where the emotions explode—is incredibly cool.

It’s by no means an easy song, but if someone confident in their vocal ability sings it, it’s sure to get everyone fired up!

Crimson – KURENAI (Single Long Version)
crimsonX JAPAN

Among the songs created by X JAPAN, Japan’s world-renowned rock band, this track released in 1989 is a masterpiece that expresses the deep sorrow of love and parting.

Characterized by fierce energy and passionate performance, YOSHIKI’s dramatic piano parts and HIDE’s striking guitar solo shake the listener to the core.

Issued as a re-cut single from the album BLUE BLOOD, it has become an indispensable number in their live shows.

As a work that symbolizes X JAPAN’s musical identity, it has had a significant influence on later songs as well.

When singing it at karaoke, we recommend immersing yourself in its passionate worldview and pouring your emotions into it.

It’s a perfect song for releasing work and everyday stress.

Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu12rank/position

Ulfuls – Banzai ~I'm Glad I Fell in Love~
Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu

This rock tune celebrating the joy of pure love is a fan favorite that showcases Ulfuls’ musicality to the fullest.

Its lyrics, which candidly express gratitude to a loved one, resonate deeply, and together with its bright, catchy melody, the song lifts listeners’ spirits.

Released in February 1996, it was included on the album “Banzai” and also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Goddess of Victory.” Moreover, it won the Excellence Award at the 38th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a perfect track for getting pumped up at karaoke with friends or for reminiscing about special memories with someone important.

The Checkers “Lullaby of a Zigzag Heart” (LIVE)
Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu

The Checkers, with Fumiya Fujii on vocals, were hugely popular as an idol-style band in the 1980s.

I love the intro to this song, and it modulates at the end so the pitch goes up! It’s just too cool.

The same melodic line repeats several times, and the overall range sits comfortably for male voices, so it seems perfect for singing along and having fun.

By the way, did you know the very last phrase after the key change in the final chorus goes even higher? When you sing it at karaoke, focus on that part and nail the pitch—you’ll land it in style! In general, if you keep your energy up while singing, your vocal cords will resonate better and the high notes will come out more easily, so go for it with confidence!

GLORIAZIGGY14rank/position

ZIGGY is a rock band that has gained popularity with its look inspired by LA metal and glam rock, and a sound that’s rock at its core yet undeniably pop.

Released as their second and fifth singles, GLORIA is a rock tune known as ZIGGY’s biggest hit.

The contrast between its simple, straightforward melody and its quintessential rock beat evokes the timeless charm of classic rock in any era.

It’s a quintessential 1980s anthem—sure to fire up any karaoke session—especially for those who spent their youth in their 40s’ generation.
