Songs that are popular with men in their 20s; catchy tunes that appeal to men.

youHikaru Utada

Hikaru Utada “Anata” (Short Version)

There are times when you want to appeal to a guy you like at karaoke but find it hard to say it directly.

In those moments, try hinting at your feelings through a song.

Hikaru Utada’s “Anata” is perfect for subtly expressing affection—it conveys love without ever using the word itself.

Plus, Hikaru Utada is generally well-liked by men.

Ballad of a SingerKazuyoshi Saito

Kazuyoshi Saito – Ballad of a Singer [Live ver.]

Because the lyrics have a mature vibe and the melody is calm, I thought it would appeal to adult women.

A lot of women like ballads, so knowing this song would score you points.

The lyrics express feelings of love, but they’re not too heavy, so I think it’s easy to sing.

Black sheepKeyakizaka46

Keyakizaka46 'Black Sheep'

I think there are quite a lot of men who like idol songs.

If you’re looking for idol songs that guys can sing to be popular at karaoke, I recommend Keyakizaka46’s “Kuroi Hitsuji” (Black Sheep).

When people think of idol songs, they usually imagine something cute and pure, but this track has a slightly darker vibe.

I think even men who like idol songs will find it refreshing to listen to.

Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze

Shonan no Kaze “Junrenka” Music Video (Special ver.)

It’s a signature song by the music group Shonan no Kaze.

It was released in 2006 as their fifth single.

The masculine tone of the lyrics is a point that makes it popular with girls.

You can really feel the single-minded feelings for the person they love.

If you want to confess your feelings with a pure love song, definitely give it a try.

DarlingKana Nishino

Kana Nishino 'Darling' MV (Short Ver.)

If you want to win a man’s heart, cute love songs are definitely a must.

For anyone looking for that kind of love song, I recommend Kana Nishino’s “Darling.” The woman in this song is a bit selfish, but that’s exactly what many men find irresistible.

If there’s a man you want to approach, try singing it while imagining him.

I want to be your lover.Mao Abe

Mao Abe – I Want to Be Your Lover [Official Music Video]

Since you’re going to karaoke with the guy you like, many of you probably want to make him notice you.

In times like that, the song you should sing is Mao Abe’s “I Want to Be Your Girlfriend.” It hardly needs explaining, but there isn’t a man alive who won’t feel a jolt just seeing that title.

The lyrics and melody are great too, making it perfect for when you want to appeal to a man.

sparklerGagaga SP

Gagaga SP 'Sparklers'

With its straightforward rock sound and a hint of youthful nostalgia, Senko Hanabi gives the impression of an unpretentious, honest guy—and I actually think it’s a song that women rate highly! After all, many women love raw, straight-from-the-heart romance.

The choice of sparklers that flicker out in an instant adds delicacy to that straightness, creating an irresistible contrast.

And yet, it’s cool.

That’s exactly what makes this song so great!
