You pure motherfuckersKishidan
As a CD single from Kishidan, this is their first new track in an incredible 5 years and 8 months.
Written by Show Ayanokoji, it serves as the theme song for the drama “Donketsu,” airing from April 25, 2025! It’s a hot, rough-and-ready rock band sound that’s quintessentially Kishidan and perfectly matches the yakuza-themed world of the drama.
The melody line is very straightforward, and with the same chorus melody recurring, it shouldn’t be hard to memorize.
Also, as you’d expect from a Kishidan song, the vocal range isn’t too high, making it comfortable for male singers.
It sounds coolest when you sing with a clenched-fist, power-through vibe! Just be careful to keep your throat relaxed and not tense up.
Using gestures helps you naturally loosen up and makes it easier to sing.
Be sure to learn the choreography and have fun singing along!
Baby Babyichou BOYZ
Ginnan BOYZ is a rock band led by Kazunobu Mineta, a figure often hailed as a charismatic presence in Japan’s rock scene.
Did you know that “BABY BABY,” included on the album ‘Kimi to Boku no Daisanji Sekai Taisen-teki Ren’ai Kakumei’ (Our Third World War-esque Romance), is a song that’s been performed since their predecessor band, GOING STEADY? Its lyrics weave poetic phrases into a straightforward message, creating impact alongside catchy lines.
With its hooky melody, it’s fun to sing and always a crowd-pleaser at karaoke—a real rock anthem.
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
A legendary rock band that arguably popularized punk rock as a genre and style in the J-POP scene, THE BLUE HEARTS released this track as their first major-label single.
Known as the band’s signature song, it’s famed for its explosive performances.
Interestingly, the lyrics never actually mention “Linda,” and vocalist/lyricist Hiroto Kōmoto has publicly said you can “sing it however you like.” It’s an upbeat tune perfect for getting the crowd going by freely tweaking the lyrics depending on who you’re at karaoke with—highly recommended for men in their 30s, who likely find themselves in karaoke settings fairly often.
7th TriggerUVERworld
UVERworld is a band that commands overwhelming support from men with their motivational messaging and razor-sharp musicality.
While they have many exhilarating tracks, a lot of them are also quite challenging.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “7th Trigger.” The vocal range in this song is extremely high, spanning from mid2A to hiF, with the chorus repeatedly hitting hiA to hiD.
It’s a piece that stands out for its sheer height, but since there’s room to lower the key, try tackling it in the key that suits you best.
We are!kitadani hiroshi
When it comes to the very first opening theme of the smash-hit anime One Piece, which has been airing for over 20 years, it’s Hiroshi Kitadani’s “We Are!” Released in 1999 as his debut single, the song is notable for its lyrics that sing of adventures linked to the anime’s story and for Kitadani’s powerful vocals.
It was even used again as the opening theme when the anime reached its 1000th episode.
As an anime song known across generations, it’s a great pick for karaoke!
On the edge (chop)B’z
B’z is a solitary rock unit that has continued to take on new challenges while honing their own style since their debut.
Their 26th single, “Giri Giri Chop,” used as a theme song for the TV anime Detective Conan, features a driving shuffle beat and aggressive guitar sound that really gets your adrenaline pumping.
It’s perfect for blowing off steam, but be careful when singing it at karaoke—the very high notes and powerful vocals it demands can be tough.
For those in their 30s who grew up with the anime, this rock tune is guaranteed to get the crowd going.
A third of pure-hearted feelingsSIAM SHADE
Although they disbanded once in 2002, SHIAM SHADE has captivated fans with several temporary reunions.
This signature song of theirs is widely known as the ending theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
Its structure is very straightforward: the chorus comes first, followed by verse A and verse B, building excitement.
The beginning of verse A hits the song’s lowest note, D#3, which might be a bit low even for male singers.
Be careful not to let your voice get muffled in this part.
Another challenging aspect of the song is the rhythm.
In the chorus, if you sing it in a typical 4/4 feel, it won’t lock in with the backing drums and will sound flat.
Try singing it with a driving triplet feel instead—you’ll sound much cooler! It may be difficult until you get used to it, but definitely give it a try.
