Japanese karaoke songs that excite men in their 20s

Have you ever gone to karaoke with friends, only to run through all the classics or end up overlapping on the same songs, making it hard to pick the next one?

In times like that, here’s a selection of Japanese songs that are sure to hype up guys in their 20s.

With these, you might just be able to take control of the vibe in the room (lol).

Japanese karaoke songs that get men in their 20s hyped (21–30)

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.

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.

With the recent boom of K-POP and the like, I think it’s become more common for guys to sing idol songs even at karaoke with just men.

One track I recommend is Naniwa Danshi’s “Asymmetric.” Naniwa Danshi have always excelled at a more orthodox musical style, and this song in particular is crafted with an extremely catchy melody reminiscent of Arashi in the mid-Heisei era, so it’s sure to get everyone hyped.

The phrase right before the chorus is a bit distinctive, so be mindful of the sudden pitch changes there and prepare to handle them.

For men in their late twenties and older, ORANGE RANGE is likely a particularly nostalgic band.

They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Ikenai Taiyō.” It’s a rap-rock track with a slightly comical touch, and both the chorus and its hook phrase deliver an outstanding lift.

It’s generally an easy song to sing, but since there’s a key change from the intro to the first verse, those who feel unsure should practice it a few times.

In addition to general rock, Macaroni Empitsu is a band with a wide musical range, from psychedelic to hard rock.

For men who like Japanese rock, you could say they’re an extremely popular band.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka Nani mo Nai Sekai de.

Although the song sits in an easy-to-sing range of mid1 A to hi A, it still builds excitement properly, and in the chorus you can let out a big voice with a near-shouted feel.

The scat-like section at the end of the chorus starts with a shout, so it’s good to aim for a slightly more vigorous, rough vocal style.

This is a song that was used as an opening theme for the anime BLEACH.

It’s one of the songs I always sing when I go to karaoke.

I think it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser that gets both BLEACH fans and Aqua Timez fans excited.

The 2013 release “Deeper Deeper.” The vocal range in this piece is from mid2B to hiB, so the overall range isn’t particularly wide.

However, since the tessitura is very high, male singers should take caution.

Additionally, the highest note, hiB, appears more than 40 times in total, so vocal stamina is required.

Fortunately, there are very few sustained high notes, so focus on cleanly executing each high-voice phrase one by one.
