[For Men] The perfect closing song to sing at the end of karaoke

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Do you have a go-to song you always sing at karaoke?

I’m sure everyone has at least one song they’re confident in, but do you have a song you always sing last?

Surprisingly, there may not be that many people who decide, “The last song is always this one!” every time.

By the way, popular choices for the last song include upbeat crowd-pleasers, gentle ballads, and short songs you can finish quickly even when time is tight.

Songs that everyone knows and can sing along to are especially popular!

With that in mind, this article will introduce songs that are particularly recommended for men as the final track at karaoke.

Pick a song that matches the vibe of your karaoke session that day.

Elephant Kashimashi, like tonight’s moon

Elephant Kashimashi’s biggest hit, “Like the Moon Tonight.” Many of you have probably heard the melody of the chorus.

Rather than showing off technique, this song seems better sung straight and passionately.

It’s a track that should appeal not only to women, but also to men.

It’s the perfect song for that final scene where you want to sway gently.

End and BeginningKariyushi 58

Kariyushi58 'The End Is the Beginning'

Owari Hajimari Kariyushi58

An evocative song that captures the sparkle found in calm, everyday life, it was released in February 2010 as the B-side to Kariyushi 58’s single “Ame nochi Hare.” Its warm acoustic sound and heartfelt message—like reflecting on yourself at the end of the day—are compelling.

The lyrics gently question the finiteness of life and the importance of the everyday.

The song was used as the theme for the 2016 drama “Sanbiki no Ossan 3: Seigi no Mikata, Mitabi!!,” and from October 2024 it has also been featured in a commercial for Japan Manufacturing Service.

It’s a piece I wholeheartedly recommend, one that can stay close to anyone facing a life milestone, such as graduation or a job change.
