Songs for Men in Their 20s to Sing [Popular & Classic] (21–30)

Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON

Osaka reggae anthem “Inbakuto.” I think it’s rare for people who were in their 20s to have enjoyed it in real time when it was released, but there are probably many who discovered it through CHEHON’s participation in MC battles.

Although the track is structured with few break points, its vocal range is narrow, so as long as you memorize the lyrics and flow, you should be able to sing it without any issues.

It’s a sure-fire hit for guys’ karaoke, so definitely add it to your repertoire.

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.

WANIMA – Together (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

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.

A ballad by Motohiro Hata, woven with sincere feelings carried by his clear, translucent voice.

He tenderly portrays memories of a love that ended against the flow of fate, likening them to a blue apple and tangled threads.

Released in January 2013 as the ending theme for the TV anime “Space Brothers” and later included on the album “Signed POP,” this work is a characteristically minor-key song from Hata.

Coupled with Seiji Kameda’s delicate arrangement, it strikingly depicts the pain and regret of a love that reached its farewell while still immature.

Hata’s relatable vocals make it a song that recalls the bitter experiences of a first love.

This is a love song by Saucy Dog that delicately portrays, from the perspective of a man awkward in love, the anxiety, jealousy, and pure affection within a romantic relationship.

It begins with a scene of holding hands with his partner, and carefully depicts universally familiar emotions—like feeling frustrated by the other’s practiced gestures or questioning his own worth.

Released in March 2020 and included on the mini-album “Take Me” released that September, the song is also popular at karaoke.

Its gentle melody, which seems to embrace the anxieties and miscommunications of romance, and its straightforward lyrics leave a strong impression, making it a recommended track for anyone who wants to convey their feelings to someone special.

A gem of a love song that delicately portrays a straightforward devotion, even while harboring clumsy feelings of love.

The Aぇ! group’s intricately woven vocals and deeply emotive melody brilliantly color a bittersweet love story.

Set for inclusion on the album “Chameleon,” slated for release in June 2025, this track has been selected as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Musashino Rondo,” starring group member Yoshinori Masakado.

The music video’s world, in which the message of love is conveyed with strength even under the pouring rain, superbly captures a heart buffeted by fate.

It’s a song that stands by everyone troubled by love and gives them courage.

180°yamazaru

A heart-wrenching love ballad by Yamasaru that tugs at the listener’s heartstrings.

Its words quietly resonate, asking what true kindness really is.

Released in February 2016, it stands out as a memorable piece in his musical career.

The song portrays the conflict of a love that must end and the delicate feelings of not wanting to hurt the other person, showcasing Yamasaru’s refined sensitivity and expressive power.

The warm tone of the acoustic guitar and his unique blend of rap and singing deepen the story’s impact.

It is a heartwarming ballad that offers comfort to those who have experienced heartbreak or a farewell to someone dear.
