Popular Band Rankings [2026] (61–70)

FLY AGAIN 2019MAN WITH A MISSION64rank/position

MAN WITH A MISSION 『FLY AGAIN 2019』
FLY AGAIN 2019MAN WITH A MISSION

They’re a band widely known for their distinctive wolf-themed visuals and for landing a variety of tie-ins with movies, TV dramas, and anime.

In addition to the standard rock band setup, they include a DJ, creating a must-hear style that blends a loud, rock-driven foundation with elements of electronic music such as programmed tracks and scratching.

Their songs are in high demand at festivals across the country, and their catalog has no filler—from high-energy, danceable tracks to beautifully crafted, mellow rock ballads.

HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel65rank/position

HONEY [15th L’Anniversary Live]
HONEYL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.

I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.

The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.

If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.

When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.

And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!

Island SongTHE BOOM66rank/position

Island SongTHE BOOM

When it comes to karaoke repertoire, “Shima Uta” is a must, don’t you think? It incorporates elements of Okinawan music and has a poignant tone with themes of nature, prayer, and parting.

The overall range spans A#2 to A4, leaning wide on the low end, but if you manage your breath well, you can stay on pitch.

The melody is very simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.

When aiming for a high score, be careful not to slip during the section where the tempo speeds up at the end, and nail the finish.

For the low notes, focus on sending your breath forward slowly.

Let your body resonate and go for a top score!

Sora-buneTOKIO67rank/position

This is a soul-stirring rock number written and composed by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.

The lyrics, themed around the voyage called life, strikingly urge you not to be swept along by others but to carve out your future by your own will.

Released in August 2006, the song became widely known as the theme for the drama “My Boss My Hero” starring Tomoya Nagase.

Its indomitable message is sure to give a powerful push to anyone facing a wall.

When your heart is close to breaking, listening to it will give you the courage to stand up again—a true anthem of encouragement for life.

GO!!!FLOW68rank/position

GO!!!FLOW

FLOW’s signature song, which took the world by storm as an opening theme for the anime NARUTO, is also a guaranteed hit at drinking parties.

Released in April 2004, the track caused a major stir at the time, entering the Oricon Top 10 for three consecutive weeks.

Its energetic message to dream-chasers and its irresistibly uptempo sound are the big draw.

The shout-and-response in the chorus is perfect for call-and-response—raise your voices together and you’ll feel instant unity! If you keep the original groove but tweak the chorus into a parody, it makes for a great party sing-along.

It’s widely known across generations, so it’s highly recommended for gatherings with a diverse crowd.

MPRINCESS PRINCESS69rank/position

M – PRINCESS PRINCESS (Princess Princess) (Full)
MPRINCESS PRINCESS

One of PRINCESS PRINCESS’s signature songs, passionately singing about the pain of heartbreak.

The sense of loss after losing a lover, paired with the strength to keep looking forward, rides on the members’ earnest vocals and strikes straight to the heart.

Included on the 1988 album “LET’S GET CRAZY” and released as a single the following year, the song was also featured in NHK’s morning drama “Dan Dan,” and is beloved across generations.

It’s a track that resonates not only when you want to get fired up at karaoke, but also when you need to soothe the wounds of a broken heart.

It might be nice to sing it together while reminiscing about a love from the past.

Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE70rank/position

“Hoshizora no Distance” is a signature song that epitomizes THE ALFEE’s driving rock sound.

The lead vocal is by bassist Masaru Sakurai.

The energy is high right from the intro, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser live, but be careful not to rush the tempo as the excitement builds.

The original tempo isn’t actually that fast—more of a steady feel.

The vocal range climbs after a key change in the middle, so you’ll want to lock in those pitches without hesitation.

Visualize clearly and sing with intention.

The overall range of the song is F#3 to A#4, and since the final melody goes higher, keep the notes in mind and add a light accent there.
