Top Karaoke Rankings for Men [2025]

Precious thingsRoad of Major78rank/position

Lord of Major / Precious Things

The debut single by Road of Major passionately sings of the bittersweetness and hope of youth.

Released in September 2002, it powerfully portrays the importance of bonds, the sadness of parting, and the determination to set out on a new journey, all carried by a driving, exhilarating melody.

An exceptional feat for an indie single, it spent 19 consecutive weeks in the Oricon Top 10 and sold over 900,000 copies.

It is one of the band’s signature songs and was even used in 2009 as the commercial theme for the Mazda Mazda3 in Taiwan.

While it’s by no means easy to nail at karaoke, its refreshing melody makes it the perfect track for honestly conveying your feelings to someone important.

GO!!!FLOW79rank/position

FLOW “GO!!!” Music Video (TV Anime “NARUTO” Opening Theme)

FLOW is a five-member rock band that gained popularity in the 2000s.

Their bright and exhilarating musical style is striking, and GO!!! showcases the appeal of FLOW particularly well.

The song was used as the fourth opening theme for the popular anime NARUTO and became a hit.

Although it’s uptempo, the vocal range is relatively narrow—mid1 G# to mid2 G#—so it’s easy to sing.

It’s a big crowd-pleaser among Naruto fans, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

RobinsonSpitz80rank/position

Spitz / Robinson

A classic Spitz song distinguished by its translucent melody and Masamune Kusano’s gentle vocals.

The lyrics beautifully express the wistfulness felt with the arrival of a new season, a pure desire to cherish a special world shared by just two people, and a longing to suddenly break free from the everyday and soar into a boundless universe.

Released in April 1995 as Spitz’s 11th single, the track was also included on the album Honey that same year.

It colored everyday life as an insert song for the Fuji TV drama Hakusen Nagashi and as the theme for Kirin Beverage’s Afternoon Tea commercials.

Sing it at karaoke with someone special and the tender mood will surely bring you closer.

It’s also perfect for a drive or for nights when you want to sink into a slightly bittersweet feeling.

Glass BoyKinKi Kids81rank/position

KinKi Kids “Garasu no Shōnen” Music Video

KinKi Kids’ classic hit “Glass no Shōnen.” The song was composed by singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, and if you listen closely, you can definitely hear his signature style in places.

The track is notable for its soaring vocals, but the range is fairly narrow—mid1 E to mid2 G—so as long as you set the key appropriately, it’s easy to sing for both men and women.

The melody has a somewhat retro Showa-era feel, so if you’ve mastered vibrato, it will significantly elevate the quality of your performance.

BoyhoodYosui Inoue82rank/position

Boys' Time / Yosui Inoue (with lyrics)

This song is wrapped in a nostalgic, gentle melody.

Together with Yosui Inoue’s characteristically tender vocals, it brings back memories of a pure and innocent childhood.

It might even spark lively conversations about cherished childhood memories.

Released in September 1990, the song drew major attention as the theme for the Toho film of the same name.

In 1991, it was used in a commercial for Sony’s “Handycam 105,” reaching No.

4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It is also included on the album Handsome Boy and has been loved by many for years.

It’s a great choice for music recreation with seniors, offering an approachable tune that anyone can hum along to.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE83rank/position

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Bitter Vacation” Official Music Video

When it comes to Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs, many people probably think of melodies with a wide vocal range backed by vocalist Motoki Omori’s overwhelming singing ability, and may have given up on trying them at karaoke because they seem difficult.

For those people, I recommend the song Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024.

Among Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s tracks, its melody line is relatively low in pitch and not overly complex, making it the kind of song you can sing comfortably along to its lively rhythm.

There are moments where a touch of irregular meter slips in, but once you get used to it, it’s not that hard—so be sure to add it to your karaoke repertoire.

SolaninASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION84rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'Soranin'

A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, a band whose evolution is seriously cool.

It’s a 2010 single used as the main theme for a film of the same name.

If you’re in your late twenties, some of you probably heard it in real time as part of your generation.

It’s an emotional masterpiece no matter where you slice it: the film’s scenes vividly come to mind, yet it also overlaps with everyday life in a universal way.

Among Ajikan’s songs, “Soranin” is relatively easy to keep rhythm with, so it’s a great pick even for people who feel a bit uneasy about karaoke or who have a lower voice.

I recommend it! Start by singing steadily and simply along with the melody, then go all out and belt it in the final section!
