[For Men] This song is perfect for hyping up the crowd at karaoke!

tinglingyuzu

Yuzu “Shibireru” Official Lyric Video

This song was released digitally on July 30, 2025, and was written as a tie-in for Suntory’s bourbon whiskey Jim Beam.

It’s a characteristically Yuzu-style track: fresh and up-tempo.

It seems Yuzu themselves also appear in the web commercials.

In the backing band, the piano really stands out, and the drums and bass are easy to hear, making it easy to catch the rhythm.

In the chorus, there’s a leap from D4 to A4 on the syllable “ma.” The “ma” sound tends to be nasal and can be hard to project, so try to put about five times more intention into your voice than you think you need.

The key is to project your voice briskly as if aiming into the distance! If it comes out smoothly without catching, you’ve nailed it.

Be sure to hit those high notes there when you sing!

I’ve gotta do the thing that seems impossible.Sambomaster

Sambomaster / We’ve Gotta Do the Impossible MUSIC VIDEO

Sambomaster is a three-piece rock band that’s gained popularity for their outstanding guitar work, positive lyrics, and powerful vocals.

They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is Dekikkonai wo Yaranakucha (We’ve Gotta Do the Impossible).

It’s a very bright, uplifting anthem, and while the vocals are strong throughout, it’s more shout-heavy than wide in vocal range.

Even if you sing it a bit rough, it still comes across well, so it’s a solid choice to add to your repertoire.

SUPER BEAVER 'Protagonist' MV (Theme song for Fuji TV's 'Mezamashi TV')

This song was chosen as the 2025 theme song for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch first thing in the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t generally have the image of being “high,” and the vocal range of “Shujinkou” this time is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so many male singers should be able to sing it mostly in chest voice.

Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide tone right before the vocals come in.

Also, because it’s a band song, if you focus on the drums throughout and let your body ride the groove as you sing, it’s easier to keep time and lock into the melody, which helps the voice come out more easily.

The opening is also the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, firmly project the very first consonant without hesitation.

Holding the long tones all the way to the end feels great to sing, so get everyone hyped and enjoy it together!

Silent JealousyNEW!X JAPAN

X JAPAN 『Silent Jealousy』（HD）

When people think of bands with lots of difficult songs, many probably imagine X JAPAN first.

TOSHI’s high-tone vocals are quite hard to replicate, and it’s no exaggeration to say most of their tracks are challenging.

Among X JAPAN’s songs, one I especially recommend is Silent Jealousy.

Its range is mid2B to hi C#, which isn’t particularly wide for X JAPAN, but most of the chorus sits between hi B and hi C#, making the chorus impressively high.

It’s a great practice piece for those looking to build endurance in their high-tone vocals.

Tasty Beating SoundNEW!Da‑iCE

Da-iCE /「Tasty Beating Sound」Official Dance Practice

Da-iCE is a dance and vocal group known for their many challenging songs.

“Tasty Beating Sound,” released in September 2025, ranks among the most difficult of their recent tracks.

Its vocal range spans from mid1D to hiC.

It’s not just high; the lower notes go fairly deep as well, making key selection tricky, and the melody features sharp rises and falls.

The one saving grace is that, fitting its comical tone, the song uses fewer long sustained notes.

Despite its playful vibe, it’s an exceptionally difficult piece—definitely worth a challenge.

poofNEW!King Gnu

King Gnu – Doron

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.

Call meNEW!Novelbright

Novelbright – Call me [Official Music Video]

Although they are a rock band, Novelbright also enjoys idol-like popularity.

Among both men and women, many people in their teens to early twenties are likely fans.

Their new song “Call me” has a very refreshing melody.

While it’s pleasant to listen to, the difficulty level is quite high: in the repeated chorus sections, there’s a falsetto close to a mixed-voice quality.

For men with a typical vocal range, the hi D# is a pitch that easily flips, making it a high-tone phrase that’s tricky to control.

If you’re confident in your high notes, definitely give it a try.
