[For Men] Songs That Make You a Better Singer: Practice Tracks for Improving at Karaoke (21–30)
Peter PanYuri
Yuuri is a singer-songwriter who’s hugely successful on YouTube and in the media.
While he excels at ballads, the songs that showcase him best are the intense tracks that make use of his shout-tinged vocal quality.
That’s why I recommend Peter Pan.
It’s not an extremely heavy song, but there are sections where he uses shouts.
If you can’t get a shout like his to come out, try boldly raising the key.
Depending on your voice, higher notes can make shouts come out more naturally.
town/cityNEW!Tsuyoshi Domoto
Tsuyoshi Domoto’s signature song “Machi.” From start to finish, even though he sings quietly, his voice keeps resonating, doesn’t it? That’s proof that it’s resonating through the body rather than just the throat—nasal resonance is very important.
The term “nasal resonance” might sound difficult, but it’s basically what I always call “humming” in my articles.
To put it simply, it’s like humming a tune through your nose.
If you love singing, don’t you often find yourself humming without thinking about it? In fact, once you learn to use your breath properly while humming, it becomes a shortcut to singing well.
The key is not to force sound out of your throat, but to use your breath to make the sound resonate in your head.
Once you get used to it, try opening your mouth and forming words while keeping the resonance in the same place.
You can listen to his music on streaming services under the name .

ShadowI Don’t Like Mondays.
The rock band I Don’t Like Mondays.
, known for their sophisticated musicality, has been drawing attention.
Unlike the simple melodies often found in Japanese pop, their appeal lies in a complex and artistic sound that has earned high praise from many artists.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Shadow.
It brings together a wide range of techniques—smoothly sung parts, sections with powerful shouts, and a funky falsetto in the chorus—making it a must-check for anyone looking to improve their singing.
TAKE IT BACKDa-iCE
Da-iCE is a boys group that has gained popularity with high-level dance and vocals.
Even men who aren’t interested in idols have probably heard their songs at least once.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is TAKE IT BACK.
This track is great for practicing mixed voice.
It features extremely high mixed voice parts repeatedly, so it’s not something just anyone can sing, but in terms of mixed voice, it’s about as useful a reference as you can get.
MelissaNEW!Porno Graffitti
Porno Graffitti is a musical duo that still enjoys strong, enduring popularity.
Among men in their thirties, more than half probably sing their songs quite often.
Of all their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Melissa.
It’s memorable for its sharp, punchy chorus, which carries a slight Latin flavor.
The A and B verses feel like refreshing rock, and the contrast creates a distinctive atmosphere.
BO$$YTravis Japan
Travis Japan is a boy group attracting attention worldwide.
Their performances rival those of K-pop, and their vocals are highly praised.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for improving your singing is “BO$$Y.” It spans a wide vocal range—from gritty low tones to clear falsetto—and its irregular structure helps train your sense of rhythm.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
YOU GOTTA RUNL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
L’Arc~en~Ciel, one of Japan’s most iconic bands, has been making waves since recently resuming their activities.
“YOU GOTTA RUN” is their new song.
The intro is loud and aggressive, reminiscent of VAMPS, but the moment the vocals start, the unmistakable L’Arc flavor comes through, making it a highly captivating track.
Hyde’s uniquely rich, high-register voice—something rarely heard in contemporary Japanese pop—offers a great reference for anyone looking to improve their fundamental vocal technique.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
