Songs by male artists Gen Z should sing at karaoke (51–60)
Precious thingsRoad of Major
The debut single by Road of Major passionately sings of the bittersweetness and hope of youth.
Released in September 2002, it powerfully portrays the importance of bonds, the sadness of parting, and the determination to set out on a new journey, all carried by a driving, exhilarating melody.
An exceptional feat for an indie single, it spent 19 consecutive weeks in the Oricon Top 10 and sold over 900,000 copies.
It is one of the band’s signature songs and was even used in 2009 as the commercial theme for the Mazda Mazda3 in Taiwan.
While it’s by no means easy to nail at karaoke, its refreshing melody makes it the perfect track for honestly conveying your feelings to someone important.
Prayer FlowerHirai Dai
A warm and gentle song that tenderly embraces gratitude and prayers for a loved one.
This piece is included on Dai Hirai’s debut mini-album “ALOHA,” released in October 2011 during his indie days.
Its soothing sound—woven from acoustic tones and Hawaiian flavors—gently wraps around the sorrow and loneliness in your heart.
It’s the perfect track for those who want to lighten the mood at karaoke or convey their feelings to someone special.
peace signKenshi Yonezu
This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu that stirs the heart with its powerful vocals and exhilarating sound.
Produced in June 2017 as the opening theme for the first cour of Season 2 of the Yomiuri TV–affiliated anime “My Hero Academia,” it resonates with the desire to become stronger on nights spent crying over one’s own inadequacy, and with the resolve to become a hero to protect someone important.
The contrast between high and low registers carefully expresses emotional shifts, so when singing, it’s best to pay attention not only to pitch but also to dynamics and phrasing.
Manchu-Han Imperial FeastCuddling with my backpack and eating
Ryucu to Soinen Gohan is a four-member co-ed band formed in 2017.
Their sound is rooted in J-pop and pop rock, and they’ve gained popularity for their catchy melodies.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Mankan Zenseki.
This track blends elements of Chinese pop with J-pop, featuring a calm vocal line with little dramatic rise and fall throughout.
There aren’t any parts that require belting, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

bergamotSora Tomonari
When it comes to popular artists with deep voices, many people probably think of Sora Tomonari first.
Among Tomonari’s songs, the one I especially recommend as easy for men to sing is Bergamot.
The piece is primarily built around low and lower-mid ranges, with occasional higher phrases.
The pitch movement isn’t particularly drastic, and there’s no need to belt, so even when a slightly higher part appears, you should be able to glide through it smoothly.
Offshore / Toward the open seaYuta Orisaka
Singer-songwriter Yuta Orisaka, whose otherworldly folk music has earned high praise from hardcore music aficionados.
Among his songs, “Oki no Hō e” is one I especially recommend.
While the piece spans a wide vocal range and features some abrupt pitch shifts, it doesn’t demand rapid-fire rises and falls in the melody.
So if you have a reasonably broad range, you’ll likely find it fairly manageable to sing.
Men with a steady mid-to-high register should definitely consider adding it to their repertoire.
pure whiteFujii Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, you probably picture tracks rooted in R&B, right? That style can make his music feel a bit challenging to some listeners, but this release is different.
It forgoes elements of Black music like R&B and instead features an airy, dream-pop-like vocal line throughout.
As a result, it’s one of the easiest songs to sing in his catalog.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
