Songs that would be cool if you could sing (21–30)
senpaiNo Murasaki
Noshi’s work, which portrays a bittersweet relationship with an older woman, is a captivating song told from the viewpoint of a junior who is drawn to yet bewildered by a senior exuding composure and allure.
Subtle nuances of complex emotions—sweet temptation and inner conflict, jealousy and possessiveness—are delicately expressed.
Released in August 2023, this track showcases the sharp insight and sensibility unique to Noshi, who is currently gaining attention especially among Gen Z.
It’s a perfect song for those who want to sing their heart out with emotion at karaoke.
Soul RevolutionSuperfly
A soul-stirring masterpiece by Superfly that powerfully sings of the challenge of venturing into the unknown.
The fiery resolve of fighters who keep chasing their dreams, fused with the strong will that sustains them, pairs with a passionate melody to radiate overwhelming presence.
Shiho Ochi’s powerful vocals, the samba-tinged rhythm, and the robust horn section weave a 1960s-style sound brimming with the power to spark a revolution in the heart.
Released in June 2010 and used by NHK as a soccer theme song for FIFA World Cup broadcasts and J.
League coverage, it moved countless sports fans.
It’s a track that gives a strong push to anyone who believes in their own potential and is ready to take a new step forward.
Scarred ChampionMISIA & Rockon Social Club
This rock-style track is the fruit of a collaboration between MISIA and Rockon Social Club, serving as an anthem filled with courage and hope.
It sings of the strength to face hardship, the resolve to rise again, and the passion to keep moving forward, seamlessly blending MISIA’s powerful vocals with the band’s rich, heavy sound.
Released in September 2023, it was selected as the theme song for NHK’s Rugby World Cup 2023 coverage and was performed as the finale at the 74th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen on December 31.
It’s a highly recommended song whenever you need a boost—whether watching a sporting event, training, or standing at a crossroads in life.
C.U.R.I.O.S.I.T.Y. feat. Paledusk and CHICO CARLITOONE OK ROCK
Speaking of Taka, the vocalist of ONE OK ROCK who continues to work globally not only in Japan but around the world, he’s also known for his powerful singing ability, effortlessly handling everything from a wide vocal range to shouts.
Many people admire Taka, but this time I’d like to introduce C.
U.
R.

O.

T.

as a song with a high level of difficulty for karaoke.
It’s a track from the album DETOX, released in February 2025, and it’s shaped into an aggressive loud rock number featuring CHICO CARLITO, a rapper from Okinawa, and Paledusk, a band popular for their hybrid metalcore sound.
With all-English lyrics, the song busily jumps between restrained sections, high-pitched shouts, and melodic parts, and even requires rapping and growls.
So if Taka’s parts alone feel too tough, I recommend tackling it at karaoke with a few friends—especially those who are good at rap and growls!

Cool songs that are recommended for men to sing (1–10)
UncontrollableNEW!Satomi
Satomi, who is also active as a member of the entertainment unit Strawburry Prince (focused on video streaming), released this track from his second full album “S’s” in September 2025.
Many listeners may find themselves relating their own experiences to the lyrics, which depict someone resisting peer pressure and standing firm for what’s right.
The heavy, hard‑driving band sound and vocals laced with shouts are sure to set your heart ablaze.
It’s an aggressive rock tune where uncontrollable impulses erupt.
W/X/YNEW!Tani Yuuki
W/X/Y, released in May 2021.
It’s a signature song by Tani Yuuki! It’s a recommended love song for those who want to practice falsetto naturally and without strain, and it makes it easy to move from chest voice → mixed voice → falsetto.
I’ve taught it a few times myself, but the melody line was more difficult than I expected… I recommend memorizing it well before singing.
In particular, the B-melody has a line that clearly sounds like falsetto even just by listening! In general, Tani Yuuki has a gentle vocal quality, so his singing has an airy, open feel.
To start, try imitating that: take a solid breath and sing with a gentle tone.
Since falsetto uses a lot of air, the key point is to “take in plenty of breath.”
poofNEW!King Gnu
King Gnu is a band that has gained popularity for its highly original musicality.
While they have many tastefully crafted songs, they’re also known for having plenty of difficult ones.
Among their catalog, the track I especially recommend is Doron.
Known as the theme song for the film “Stolen Identity 2,” it has a gritty atmosphere and a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A# to hi A#.
On top of that, the melodic leaps up and down are quite intense, but the most challenging parts are the chorus and the C section.
When the chorus and C section hit, the tempo jumps up all at once, leaving few breathing points; combined with the sharp rises and falls in pitch, it makes nailing the intonation extremely difficult.
