[For Men] Want to Hype Up Karaoke? A Roundup of Recommended Lively Japanese Songs (91–100)
GOING GOING HOMEH Jungle with T
This is a song by H Jungle with T, the music group formed by Masatoshi Hamada of Downtown and Tetsuya Komuro.
The invigorating, summer-appropriate melody and the wistful lyrics that evoke a woman from the past leave a strong impression.
Be sure to check out the music video, which was filmed in Guam! Give it a watch.
THE HERO!! ~Light the Fire in the Angry Fist~JAM Project
This is the opening theme of the much-talked-about anime One-Punch Man.
The explosive shouts are absolutely exhilarating—goosebumps! Every section stands out on its own, making it a highly polished track.
The way it wraps up in the chorus is breathtakingly cool, so I highly recommend it for karaoke!
VampireJanne Da Arc
When it comes to hype songs by Janne Da Arc, this has to be the one.
If you’re into visual kei or often listen to ’90s rock, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
The lyrics are straightforward too, so it’s guaranteed to get everyone pumped at karaoke!
With the hazy sky at my backJanne Da Arc
At the time, this was the best-selling single among Janne Da Arc’s songs.
It starts with a fleeting melody and a cool guitar tone, and when the chorus hits, the voltage shoots straight to max.
The track was also used as the theme song for the TV Tokyo anime “Asobot Senki Gokuu.” The soaring vocals may be a bit high in key for male singers, but if you can hit the notes, definitely give it a try.
Ready Steady GoL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
It’s their 22nd single and the opening theme for the second season of the MBS/TBS anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
Isn’t it one of their most exciting songs? Just like the title, which literally means “Ready, go!,” it’s up-tempo and one of the easier L’Arc-en-Ciel songs to sing.
Highly recommended for karaoke.
Seesaw Game ~A Brave Love Song~Mr.Children
This is a song by Mr.
Children, a rock band that has remained at the forefront of the Japanese music scene for many years.
It was released in 1995 as their ninth single.
Sakurai Kazutoshi’s expansive vocals are, as expected, outstanding.
The chorus in particular feels great to sing.
Let’s hit listeners with an awesome high-tone voice.
Marshmallow dayMr.Children
Among the many popular songs by Mr.
Children, this one is especially sure to get everyone pumped.
Its gentle yet driving melody and sound leave you feeling refreshed after listening.
The chorus is a bit high in key, but it’s guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
