Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers: Men’s Ranking [2026] (Ages 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〜Ciel

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.

Robinsonsupittsu39rank/position

When it comes to Spitz’s signature songs, this is likely the one many people think of.

Its clear, beautiful melody and bittersweet lyrics really resonate.

Released in April 1995, the track is included on the album “Honey” (Hachimitsu).

It’s the perfect song to liven up gatherings with friends, reunions, or karaoke.

Along with a sense of nostalgia, it’s a classic whose charm hasn’t faded with time.

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.

Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers: Men’s Rankings [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.

Goodbyeofukōsu42rank/position

Off Course – Sayonara (Off Course 1982/06/30 Budokan Concert)
Goodbyeofukōsu

This song, the 17th single by Off Course led by Kazumasa Oda, was released in 1979.

The song itself is a slow ballad, so it’s not exactly the kind of track that gets a karaoke crowd hyped.

But if you’re in your 50s, chances are you encountered this song during a sensitive time in your life, right? Many people probably find that when they sing it, layering the lyrics over their own memories of love, it really hits them emotionally.

I hope you’ll enjoy singing it along with those “memories of your youth.” Of course, it’s also totally fine to go all-in on the chorus and turn it into a real sing-along moment with everyone!
