Popular Japanese songs among men in their 20s. Recommended classics and standard tracks (1–10)

Let’s dance!NEW!Snow Man

It’s a positive party song that sweeps away everyday fatigue and anxiety, making everyone want to laugh and dance.

This track was released as a single in February 2026 and serves as the theme song for the film “Specials,” starring Daisuke Sakuma and set to premiere in March 2026.

It’s an up-tempo dance tune overflowing with Snow Man’s signature energy and euphoria, with an irresistible instant boost that lifts your mood the moment you hear it.

The song drew a huge response, even appearing on Oricon’s daily rankings.

It’s a perfect high-stakes anthem that naturally gets the crowd clapping and puts smiles on everyone’s faces—highly recommended.

This is a pop number by Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE, featuring an irresistibly danceable beat and dazzling horn tones.

It conveys a positive theme of sharing feelings with others and heading toward the same destination.

Released in October 2015, it drew attention as the theme song for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky commercial, and was later included on the March 2016 album “THE JSB LEGACY.” The catchy dance the members performed became a social phenomenon.

Bursting with party vibes, this track is perfect for livening up the room at karaoke.

PerfumeEito

A song by Eito that sparked a major movement on social media in 2020.

Its simple sound—just an acoustic guitar and an unadorned singing voice—ends up resonating even more deeply.

The lyrics portray the bittersweet feeling of emotions you thought you’d forgotten surging back after running into an ex-girlfriend, conveying the protagonist’s complex state of mind—putting on a brave face yet unable to fully let go—in a very real way.

Sing it gently at karaoke and it’s sure to get everyone saying, “So nostalgic!”

This is a SUPER BEAVER song whose unadorned words cut to the core of human nature and stir the heart.

While acknowledging the darker sides of people—lies, betrayal, and secrets—it still sings of wanting to believe and to keep on loving.

The track was included on the album “27,” released in June 2016.

It was used as the opening theme for the drama “Sono ‘Okodawari’, Watashi ni mo Kure yo!!” starring Mayu Matsuoka, and in 2021 it was also selected for Asahi Beer’s “Asahi Super Dry” commercial.

A powerful ballad that incorporates the band’s first use of strings, it’s a song you’ll want to hear when you’re struggling with relationships or frustrated by your own weakness.

Even if people call you a fool, it will give a push to those who still want to live with style.

It’s an incredibly uplifting, high-energy track.

Highly recommended especially for men who like four-on-the-floor dance rock.

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.

20 years oldONE OK ROCK

While incorporating elements of Western music, the riffs retain a distinctly Japanese rock flavor, creating a work where Japanese and Western contrasts intermingle: “20 years old.” With a range of mid1 G to hi D#, the vocal span is quite narrow for a ONE OK ROCK song.

However, more than the limited range, what truly enhances singability is the chorus’s vocal line.

In rock, it’s standard to ramp the voltage to the max in the chorus, but here the chorus is kept remarkably restrained.

In fact, there are no long sustained notes and no shouts.

It doesn’t require flashy techniques, and the range is narrow, so it’s undoubtedly an easy song to sing.
