Cool Songs That Men Will Look Awesome Singing (21–30)
Love song foreverNEW!Vaundy
Singer-songwriter Vaundy is known for his wide-ranging musical style.
His track “Zutto Love Song,” released in August 2025, has garnered fervent support from fans.
The song leans toward a rock sound with a hint of Showa-era flavor, featuring distinctly Japanese phrases reminiscent of kayōkyoku.
While the piece isn’t consistently difficult throughout, the B-melody includes a section with pronounced pitch jumps, so you’ll need to be careful not to go off pitch there.
That said, the B-melody itself is very catchy and easy to sing, so if you’re confident in your pitch sense, be sure to give it a try.
Together forever!NEW!Tatsuya Kitani
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
While he has many catchy songs, he also has some technically demanding ones.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Zuutto Issho! This piece requires a wide vocal range from mid1 A# to high A, with quite dramatic pitch movement up and down.
That alone makes it difficult, but it also has few breathing points and many rapid-fire phrases, so in addition to pitch control, strong lung capacity is needed.
It’s a song that demands comprehensive vocal ability, so definitely give it a try.
You’re the Only…NEW!Masatoshi Ono
Masatoshi Ono is known in Japan as one of the top masters of high-tone vocals.
In addition to his falsetto, he is highly regarded for his mixed voice, and he’s famous for delivering solid sound pressure even at high pitches.
Speaking of Ono’s most challenging songs, “You’re the Only…” is probably at the top of the list.
This piece features an exceptionally wide range from mid1 G# to hi B, and it does not use falsetto.
In other words, because every high-tone phrase has to be sung in chest voice, it’s difficult to pull off unless you possess an unusually specialized vocal range to begin with.
Moreover, as a rock ballad, it also demands vocal power, making it a song of very high difficulty in every respect.
Promise of SunflowersMotohiro Hata
A gem of a ballad by Motohiro Hata that sings of deep bonds with loved ones and the universal message that hearts remain connected even when apart.
Released in August 2014 as his 17th single, it moved many as the theme song for the 3DCG animated film “STAND BY ME Doraemon.” It debuted at No.
10 on the Oricon weekly chart and stayed on the charts for an astonishing 64 weeks in total! As a beloved national hit, it continues to be cherished to this day.
If you sing this song— which straightforwardly conveys gratitude to those by your side—gently and with feeling at karaoke, you’re sure to earn instant respect.
Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
This work portrays straightforward expressions of love and a man who, though awkward, grows over time.
The lyrics, which depict romance budding from everyday moments and bonds deepening even through clashes, gently warm the listener’s heart.
Released in March 2006 as Shonan no Kaze’s fifth single, the song achieved a remarkable 25 consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the Oricon karaoke chart.
In addition to being featured in commercials, it remains a beloved staple at weddings today.
If you sing it passionately at karaoke, you’re sure to capture the audience’s hearts.
It’s the perfect song for times when you want to convey love in unadorned words or reaffirm your feelings for someone special.
No doubtOfficial HIGE DANDism
This is a signature work by Official HIGE DANDism, where a fierce critical spirit and refined melodies blend in perfect harmony.
It sharply depicts a warning to today’s information-saturated society and the struggles of people living amid falsehoods, while emphasizing the importance of keeping your head up and moving forward.
Released in April 2018 as their major-label debut and used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “Confidence Man JP,” the song became a massive hit, surpassing 300 million streams on the Billboard Japan Streaming Songs chart.
By singing it with power while picturing scenes from the drama or film, you can bring out your charm even more.
Cool Songs That Are Impressive When Sung by Men (31–40)
Moechakka FireIssei
A track by Issei that weaves synth sounds with an addictive melody, themed around a cool, detached maid-outfit character.
Released as a character song for the game Zenless Zone Zero, unveiled in July 2024, the piece channels modern people’s craving for approval and their sense of alienation from society, all over a bold, driving beat.
Its alluring low-register vocals—seemingly detached from the music video’s character—leave a strong impression.
How about belting it out at karaoke to express a different side of yourself?
