This Is a Surefire Hit! Hype-Up Songs Men Will Want to Sing First at Karaoke (1–10)
unravelNEW!TK from Ling tosite sigure
Among TK from Ling tosite sigure’s songs, the masterpiece “unravel” is renowned for its exceptional difficulty.
Known as the theme song for the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul, many people may have discovered it through Ado’s cover as well.
The most challenging aspects of this song are, above all, its vocal range and expressive breadth.
The range spans an extraordinarily wide mid2 A# to hihi A#, with repeated hi G notes in the chorus.
On top of that, it demands a wide variety of vocal techniques, including scream-like phrases and trembling lines that make use of whisper voice.
Its level of difficulty is among the highest even within Japanese rock.
Full-Power BoySukima Switch
This song was also performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It’s an uplifting cheer song that gives you energy.
There’s probably no one who doesn’t know it.
It’s that well-known, so just singing it will surely liven up the place.
If the listeners hype you up, you’ll be able to sing it with great enthusiasm.
7th TriggerNEW!UVERworld
UVERworld is a band that commands overwhelming support from men with their motivational messaging and razor-sharp musicality.
While they have many exhilarating tracks, a lot of them are also quite challenging.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “7th Trigger.” The vocal range in this song is extremely high, spanning from mid2A to hiF, with the chorus repeatedly hitting hiA to hiD.
It’s a piece that stands out for its sheer height, but since there’s room to lower the key, try tackling it in the key that suits you best.
This is a Surefire Hit! High-Energy Songs Men Will Want to Sing First at Karaoke (11–20)
bookmarkCreepHyp
A song by the rock band CreepHyp, released in 2018.
It was produced as the campaign song for “FM802 × TSUTAYA ACCESS!” The collaborative version drew attention for featuring popular artists like Aimyon and Suga Shikao.
It symbolically depicts the delicate emotions of two people facing a breakup through motifs like bookmarks and cherry blossom petals.
Choosing it as the first karaoke song is likely to gently warm up the atmosphere.
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.
Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a track marked by breezy guitar sounds and richly varied arrangements.
Released by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE as a digital single in November 2024, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Saint☆Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men vs.
The Demon Army.” A song that speaks to the importance of taking breaks for people swept up in busy modern life, it incorporates elements of country and Celtic music, showcasing Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s spirit of experimentation.
Perfect as a refreshing first pick for your karaoke session!
Butter-FlyKoji Wada
This is the debut single by singer Kouji Wada, who, after twice returning from medical leave and being hailed as the “immortal butterfly” of anison, sadly passed away at the young age of 42.
The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Digimon Adventure and is one of Wada’s signature tracks, beloved and covered by numerous artists.
Its driving ensemble and emotional melody are enough to stir the hearts of anyone from that anime generation.
With no complex melodic lines and a relatively low key, it’s easy to sing—making it a great choice as the first karaoke song of the night.
