Top 10 Japanese karaoke songs that get men in their 20s hyped
Black and WhiteDa-iCE
It’s the theme song for the drama “Takao Ameku’s Case Records,” released digitally on April 23, 2025.
Member Sota Hanamura wrote and composed it, and it’s a perfect track for strengthening rhythm and expressiveness, with a stylish sound and intricate structure.
The song is under three and a half minutes, but it includes rap, features repeated high notes, and feels lyric-dense, making it very satisfying to sing! Rhythm is crucial, so start by humming and moving your body to lock into the tempo and groove.
The melody line is also quite detailed, with many spots that jump suddenly from low to high.
To hit the pitches accurately, lift your facial muscles and eyebrows as you sing!
PropositionRADWIMPS
The RADWIMPS song “Meidai,” known as the theme for the popular news program news zero.
Their recent tracks tend to have dramatic pitch leaps, and this one is no exception, featuring a succession of phrases that require intense rises and falls in pitch.
The vocal range here is quite wide, from mid1 C to hi A#, and since there isn’t much leeway either lower or higher, you’ll need to break through the range barrier on your own.
The pitch movement in the chorus—where the energy peaks—is relatively gentle, so the chorus shouldn’t be an issue; however, there are very few breathing points, so make sure to study the vocal line in advance.
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.

I Can’t Defeat AirmanTeam.nekokan[neko]
![I Can't Defeat AirmanTeam.nekokan[neko]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KLbFctG3tw0/hqdefault.jpg)
This is a song themed around Air Man, a boss character from the video game Mega Man 2: Dr.
Wily’s Revenge.
Released on Niconico Douga in 2007, it’s highly popular, with over 10 million views, and is a real crowd-pleaser.
Dance, please.DISH//
DISH//’s masterpiece Odoryanse, released digitally in September 2025.
It’s a highly unique track, with a distinct, shallow-sounding auto-tune applied throughout.
Overall it follows a J-rock flow, but the pre-chorus shifts into a slightly reggae-like feel, and the chorus unfolds with a murky, almost visual kei-style melody.
Because the song packs so many developments into a single track, it’s a bit less singable, but you can expect it to be a real crowd-pleaser in terms of energy.
Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira
The famous song “Seishun Amigo,” known as the theme for the popular drama Nobuta wo Produce, is sung by the duo Shuuji to Akira—Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi.
It features a passionate melody with a slight kayōkyoku flavor, yet it also carries a certain laid-back, Heisei-era nonchalance that leaves an impression.
Although falsetto appears, the overall range is narrow, so even men in their 30s can sing it comfortably while reminiscing.
IRIS OUTYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s masterpiece “IRIS OUT.” Known as a theme song for the anime Chainsaw Man, this track has been crafted with a rather unusual tone to match the show’s atmosphere.
While it carries an overall rock flavor, you can glimpse gothic elements here and there—likely to align with the series’ world, where devils appear.
It has a somewhat matter-of-fact delivery yet interweaves shouts, making it thoroughly engaging to listen to.
Be sure to check it out.
