Top Karaoke Rankings for Men [2025]

TRUE LOVEFumiya Fujii36rank/position

TRUE LOVE / Fumiya Fujii

For those of you now in your 40s who spent your teenage years in the 1990s, you might associate Fumiya Fujii more with his work as a solo artist than with The Checkers.

Fujii is active in many fields beyond music, but his most famous song as a solo singer is TRUE LOVE, released in 1993 as his solo debut single.

It’s fascinating that there are many anecdotes surrounding the song’s creation—such as the fact that Fujii had no prior experience composing before writing it, and that the odd time signature in the intro came from a mistake he made while recording the demo, which was kept as is.

It’s a massive hit so iconic it appears in textbooks and remains a karaoke favorite, yet it’s based on classic chord progressions and features a straightforward melodic development, making it very easy to sing.

One point to note: in the first chorus he sings certain parts in falsetto, while in the second chorus he sings those parts in chest voice—so keep that in mind and deliver it with strength.

Released in November 2007 as an advance single from the album TEENAGER, the song was also featured as insert music in the drama SUMMER NUDE.

Its somewhat nostalgic melody will create a tender, emotional unity when sung at karaoke with peers.

Why not try it when you want to gently mellow the mood?

RADWIMPS wrote “Sokkenai” as the theme song for the dating reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf-kun.” The song depicts the push and pull of romance and the emotional turbulence that unfolds on the show.

Its melody is simple, centered on piano.

This not only expresses emotional delicacy but also serves to highlight Yojiro Noda’s vocals.

As a result, singing it at karaoke should allow your voice to come through more clearly.

However, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so the overall difficulty shouldn’t be high.

Kenshi Yonezu – Peace Sign

This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu that stirs the heart with its powerful vocals and exhilarating sound.

Produced in June 2017 as the opening theme for the first cour of Season 2 of the Yomiuri TV–affiliated anime “My Hero Academia,” it resonates with the desire to become stronger on nights spent crying over one’s own inadequacy, and with the resolve to become a hero to protect someone important.

The contrast between high and low registers carefully expresses emotional shifts, so when singing, it’s best to pay attention not only to pitch but also to dynamics and phrasing.
