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

Dance, please.NEW!DISH//

Dance, please.

DISH//’s masterpiece Odoryanse, released digitally in September 2025.

It’s a highly unique track, with a distinct, shallow-sounding auto-tune applied throughout.

Overall it follows a J-rock flow, but the pre-chorus shifts into a slightly reggae-like feel, and the chorus unfolds with a murky, almost visual kei-style melody.

Because the song packs so many developments into a single track, it’s a bit less singable, but you can expect it to be a real crowd-pleaser in terms of energy.

SufferNEW!Okazaki Taiiku

Okazaki Taiiku “Suffer” Music Video

Male singer-songwriter Taiiku Okazaki, who has gained popularity with his unique lyrics and catchy melodies.

He’s also highly popular among male listeners and has produced many classic songs, but among them, “Suffer” is especially recommended.

For an Okazaki song, it’s unusual in that it’s rooted in punk rock, featuring melodies that lean toward hardcore punk within the punk genre.

Assuming you sing it full-throttle with some shouts mixed in, it’s a perfect pick for karaoke among male friends.

A gaze is lightNEW!Tatsuya Kitani

Your gaze is light / Tatsuya Kitani – Your Gaze, Crepuscular / Tatsuya Kitani

Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.

He’s an artist known for many inventive phrases, and even though “Manazashi wa Hikari” ultimately comes together as orthodox pop, he slips in a Japanese-style phrase right before the chorus.

The song spans a slightly wide range from mid1 C# to hi B, but the hi B parts are in a light falsetto, so even those who struggle with head voice can sing it.

The more challenging spots are actually around hi A, so if you set your key with that as the focal point, you can expect a vocal that really soars at the climax.

KICK BACKNEW!Kenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu – KICKBACK

For men in their teens and twenties, Kenshi Yonezu is a go-to artist.

He has a wide musical range, but if you’re looking for something that really hypes things up, “KICK BACK” is perfect.

Released as the theme song for the popular anime Chainsaw Man, it features a striking, impactful chorus and delivers an exceptional boost in energy despite its slightly fast tempo.

Above all, the near-shouted vocal phrase right before the final chorus—enhanced by the music video’s scene of being run over by a truck—is especially popular.

NINE LIVESNEW!Limited Express

Bullet Train “NINE LIVES” Music Video

This is a dance number by Choutokkyuu released on September 24, 2025.

The song’s theme is the proverb “A cat has nine lives,” and it features lots of cat-related words.

Choutokkyuu often has songs with high vocals, but NINE LIVES isn’t one that keeps pushing into ultra-high notes, so once you lock into the rhythm, it should be pretty singable! Since it’s a twin-vocal track, there may be spots where singing solo is tricky timing-wise, but the song’s vibe is super cool, so definitely use it to hype up the karaoke room! In general, you can get a strong, steady tone if you resonate in both your head and chest; try placing a hand on your chest to feel that chest resonance as you sing.

By the way, TAKASHI, Choutokkyuu’s vocalist, raises his eyebrows quite a lot when he sings.

It also makes it easier to hit the right pitches, so give it a try!

Someday, in a world of nothingnessNEW!Macaroni Enpitsu

Macaroni Empitsu “Someday, In a World With Nothing” MV

In addition to general rock, Macaroni Empitsu is a band with a wide musical range, from psychedelic to hard rock.

For men who like Japanese rock, you could say they’re an extremely popular band.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka Nani mo Nai Sekai de.

Although the song sits in an easy-to-sing range of mid1 A to hi A, it still builds excitement properly, and in the chorus you can let out a big voice with a near-shouted feel.

The scat-like section at the end of the chorus starts with a shout, so it’s good to aim for a slightly more vigorous, rough vocal style.

MatatabiNEW!WANIMA

WANIMA “Matatabi” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO – Ending theme of the anime “Night of the Living Cat”

WANIMA, a punk-leaning rock band boasting top-tier popularity.

They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Matatabi.” It’s the theme song for the anime “Night of the Living Cat,” and, for WANIMA, it’s unusually shaped into a pretty hardcore melody.

In the middle of the track, there’s a shout that’s almost like a scream, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments in the song—so if you sing it at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
