Japanese pop songs popular among men in their 20s. Recommended masterpieces and classics (11–20)
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi
The emotional sound is really cool.
It’s a song by singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito.
It was released in 2011 as his 39th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper,” it became a big hit.
I bet many people have it as their go-to karaoke number.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
AKASAKI’s hit song “Bunny Girl,” which went viral nationwide.
The vocal range in this track is from mid1 C to mid2 G, which is quite narrow for recent Japanese pop.
There’s a key change in the final chorus, but even so, the overall pitch movement is minimal, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
The vocal line also has gentle rises and falls, so it’s recommended for people who want to get the crowd going even if they’re not very confident in their singing.
If you want to sound more polished, try incorporating overtone techniques to add richness to the low–mid range.
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s hit song “Habit.” Many listeners were likely astonished by this track, which departs from their usual fantastical worldview and instead delivers somewhat caustic, realistic lyrics.
As the groove is emphasized throughout, the song sits within a generally standard vocal range for a SEKAI NO OWARI track, from mid1 C to mid2 F.
However, since the highest note (mid2 F) appears fairly frequently, it may be better to lower the key slightly depending on the singer’s range.
While it’s overall on the easier side, there are several rap-like sections, so it’s recommended to firmly memorize the flow that matches the lyrics.
RPGSEKAI NO OWARI
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.
Bedroom TalkOfisharu Higedan Dism
Composed and written by guitarist Daisuke Kozasa, this is a gentle song that tenderly keeps you company in the quiet of night.
It portrays a calm time spent stepping back a little from social media and truly connecting with someone important.
The track is included on the acclaimed 2021 album “Editorial,” a record created with input from all the members, which lends a sense of depth to the band’s expression.
Its warm, mellow atmosphere feels perfect for settling your mind at the end of the day.
It’s a recommended listen for those who are a bit worn out by relationships or who want to drift off to sleep with a peaceful heart.
together; along with; bothWANIMA
WANIMA’s hit song “Tomoni.” While many of its lyrics are negative, the chorus suddenly shifts to a highly positive message, and that strong contrast made the track popular with many listeners.
In this piece, the lowest note is mid1 F and the highest is hi C#, which is a relatively wide range for a male vocal song.
However, the hi C# only appears twice in the first verse’s A section; the song is basically structured with hi A# as the top note, so with key adjustment it can be quite singable.
Since it tends to have fewer natural breakpoints, lowering the key by one step from your optimal key may work better when actually singing.

Team friendsChiba Yūki
The release Team Tomodachi sent shockwaves through the hip-hop scene.
It’s an essential work when discussing Japan’s J-trap movement—hugely popular in Japan and it sparked major hype overseas as well.
People in their 20s are the generation that lived through the peak of the MC battle boom.
A lot of them probably became heads from there and were quick to check out this project.
As a trap track, it’s put together with an especially singable flow, so be sure to rap it with your my men!
