[Men] Popular Japanese Songs Karaoke Ranking [2025] (1–10)
Bunny GirlAKASAKI1rank/position
AKASAKI’s track “Bunny Girl” became a viral hit on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts, gaining nationwide popularity.
Among men in their 20s, there are probably very few who haven’t heard it.
Despite its popularity, the song actually boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges in Japanese music.
Perhaps because the vocal line is also quite simple, it’s very easy to follow the pitch—there aren’t even any long notes or ad-libs—so as long as you match the pitch, scoring over 90 is easily within reach.
PretenderOfficial HIGE DANDism2rank/position
Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “Pretender” is arguably the most well-known.
Many of you have probably heard it at least once.
Although it’s known as a difficult piece, that reputation mainly comes from its prominent high notes; in fact, its overall vocal range isn’t all that wide.
The vocal line has relatively large rises and falls, but those demanding phrases don’t appear in succession.
Therefore, as long as you have the stamina to sustain the high register, it’s actually a surprisingly singable song.
Eine KleineKenshi Yonezu3rank/position
I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think many of his tracks are easy for low-voiced men to sing.
The range of “Eine Kleine” is C#3–G#4.
Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the chorus high notes a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without forcing your chest voice.
To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of rasp—both can enhance the vibe.
If I were a man, I’d definitely include Kenshi Yonezu’s songs in my repertoire.
Give them a try, everyone!
Goodbye ElegyMasaki Suda4rank/position
This is one of Masaki Suda’s signature rock songs, written and composed by Huwie Ishizaki.
The melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, so I think anyone can sing it.
I love this song too and always sing it four keys higher, and it’s more than enough to get the crowd going! The intro is cool right from the start, so it’s guaranteed to hype everyone up there.
Many people have probably heard the chorus as well, so people around you are likely to sing along! As for tricky parts, I’d say the end of the second chorus and the last chorus, where the high G#4 notes keep coming.
It’s kind of heartbreaking if you don’t nail that part, so let’s make it sound awesome! Take a solid breath and resonate the sound inside your mouth.
Try singing as if you’re shooting a beam from your mouth, vibrating the inside as you sing.
Also, to make matters worse, the lyrics there use the harder-to-pronounce “na” and “ma” lines in Japanese, so be conscious of projecting more strongly than you think you need to!
A Little Love SongMONGOL8005rank/position
It’s one of MONGOL800’s signature songs, but it has never been released as a single and is included on the band’s second indie album, “MESSAGE.” By the way, despite being an indie release, this album sold over 2.
8 million copies! It’s an upbeat, super catchy rock number, and you definitely don’t need any complicated explanations to have fun singing it.
Everyone, just raise your voices and enjoy it however you like!
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN6rank/position
A true masterpiece among masterpieces, with a raw guitar sound and a heart-stirring melody that shine with timeless brilliance—as if the restless rush of youth were rendered directly into sound! Even in the 2020s, BUMP OF CHICKEN’s early signature song “Tentai Kansoku” remains immensely popular and is a karaoke staple.
Motoo Fujiwara’s vocals, still tinged with the youthful blue of his early twenties at the time, are moving no matter when you listen, and overall the pitch sits on the lower side, making it approachable even for those who struggle with high notes.
The pitch movement is somewhat dramatic, and the A-melody in particular demands quite low notes, so try to consciously bring out a sultry nuance like Fujiwara’s without letting it become too flat.
KanadeSukima Switch7rank/position
Released in 2004, this second single is an indispensable classic ballad when talking about Sukima Switch.
It was featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and as a TV drama theme, and in 2006 it was also chosen as the ending theme for the final day of “Nettou Koshien.” The lyrics, depicting a moment of parting, convey the protagonist’s aching attempt to send their feelings to the one who is leaving, along with a wish to remain connected in their hearts.
When you reach a turning point in life—graduation, a job change, and so on—listening to this song will bring back memories from that time, and the tears will naturally start to flow.
With its gentle tempo and piano tones that soak into the heart, it’s a profoundly moving track.
