For Men: Difficult Karaoke Songs. A collection of tracks that are cool if you can sing them! (71–80)
Wind GodVaundy
Vaundy’s new song “Fujin.” It’s an impressive piece with a decadent melody, and the A and B sections are arranged with a touch of neo-soul.
The trickiest part to sing is, above all, the drastic jumps in pitch.
Just when you think it’ll stay in chest voice, a suddenly very high falsetto comes in, demanding exceptional pitch control.
If you’re confident with Black music styles like R&B and neo-soul, definitely give this track a try.
POP STARKen Hirai
This is Ken Hirai’s 23rd single, released in October 2005.
It was reportedly written as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “Kiken na Aneki.” It’s a track where you can fully enjoy Hirai’s lively vocals over an uptempo backing.
For those trying to recreate this performance at karaoke, the key points are singing the high notes without forcing your voice and clearly enunciating the lyrics, which unfold at a slightly rapid pace.
Try singing it after first mastering smooth transitions in your vocal registers!
SymphonyHirai Dai
This is Dai Hirai’s 49th digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the feature film TOKYO MER: Running Emergency Room.
True to its title, the track lets you fully savor Hirai’s vocals—rich with chameleonic tone and expressive singing—set against a grand, symphonic arrangement.
I imagine it would be quite difficult for most people to reproduce this in karaoke.
Beyond mastering basic vocal techniques like phonation and expressive delivery, you’d also need a sense of unity with the backing track, an understanding of the words used in the lyrics, and a grasp of the lyrics’ overall meaning.
Off The MaskYuta
Yuta, a Japanese artist known as a popular member of the Korean idol group NCT, has also been active as a solo performer recently, gaining popularity with his high-level vocals and dance performances.
Among Yuta’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Off The Mask.
Since this track incorporates a hard rock style, it calls for a loud vocal approach not typically found in mainstream K-pop or Japanese music.
The pitch range moves dramatically up and down, making it one of the most challenging songs even by recent standards.
oni; demon; ogre; spirit (depending on context)scratch
Kizu is currently drawing attention as one of the most skilled bands in the visual kei scene.
Both their instrumentation and vocals are of an exceptionally high level, characterized by a sophisticated, original sound that feels like a mix of L’Arc~en~Ciel and MUCC.
Among Kizu’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Oni.
Because it condenses a wide range of vocal styles into a single track, it easily stands out as the most difficult piece among the songs featured in this article.
In conclusion
Karaoke is an entertainment that becomes even more fun when you take it on with a spirit of challenge! Once you manage to sing one difficult song, it becomes exciting to move on to the next! Even songs that are hard to sing can become yours with practice, so please try challenging yourself at your own pace.
