Japanese karaoke songs that get teenage boys hyped

MiracleGReeeeN

GReeeeN – Kiseki

This song was used as the theme song for the drama ROOKIES.

It topped the Oricon Karaoke Rankings for two consecutive years, 2008 and 2009.

The lyrics and melody, which pierce the heart, are truly wonderful.

Even now, its popularity hasn’t faded.

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG.” This work, which could be called the culmination of the band’s fantastical musical style from their early days, is something anyone born in the Heisei era has probably heard at least once.

Surprisingly, the song’s vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 C# to hi A.

Since the frequently used notes are also on the lower side, even men with lower voices can sing it without issue if they drop the key.

If you want to boost the quality, try mixing in breaths like Fukase does—doing so will really liven things up at karaoke.

Real FaceKAT-TUN

Real Face

This is one of KAT-TUN’s signature hit songs.

I think it’s a really cool track.

It’s unfortunate that members have been leaving one after another and the group has shrunk so much.

They’re currently on hiatus as a “recharging period,” but I hope they’ll resume activities someday and return to the stage.

One DayThe ROOTLESS

The ROOTLESS / One day

THE ROOTLESS’s major label debut work.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime One Piece and as the ending theme for the first episode of Toriko.

Irresistible for anison fans! The melody line is very beautiful.

Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts

Creepy Nuts “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” × TV Anime “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES” Collaboration Music Video #BBBB Dance

When it comes to the biggest buzzworthy track in Japan’s 2024 music scene, it has to be Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born.” Produced as the opening theme for season 2 of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” specifically the “Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc,” the song needs no introduction—its “BBBB Dance” exploded on TikTok, becoming a massive hit not only in Japan but worldwide.

Of course, it’s a masterpiece born from the duo’s exceptional skills, but it’s also the kind of track that shines at karaoke: even if you can’t rap it perfectly, everyone can still get hyped together.

And naturally, if you can nail it perfectly and wow your friends, you should totally give that a try!

Love♡Scream!AiScReam

Love♡Scream!

If you’re a teen who wants to sing a poppy, explosively cute song at karaoke, I highly recommend “Ai♡Scream!” It’s the debut single released in February 2025 by AiScReam, a limited-time unit from the Love Live! series, and just like the title suggests, it’s a love song that’s intensely sweet—like ice cream.

The spoken lines in the middle practically beg for a call-and-response at concerts, and it’s sure to hype up any karaoke session, too.

Honestly, it can even be a hilarious pick for guys to sing with friends on purpose!

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

This track, Suki-cchew no!, which could be considered a sequel to HoneyWorks’ smash hit I’m Sorry, I’m So Cute, once again features voice actor–artist Saori Hayami performing as “Chu-tan.” From the chorus that repeatedly chants the title to the hook that sticks in your head after just one listen, its addictive appeal is fully intact.

At the same time, the midsection is captivating too, revealing the inner conflict you can sense beneath Chu-tan’s confident persona.

When you sing it at karaoke, try fully becoming Chu-tan and deliver it with a deliberately cutesy yet endearing vibe!
