[Male] Top Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2025]

Youthful AmigoShuji and Akira78rank/position

Tomohisa Yamashita, Kazuya Kamenashi, Shuuji to Akira, Seishun Amigo

The famous song “Seishun Amigo,” known as the theme for the popular drama Nobuta wo Produce, is sung by the duo Shuuji to Akira—Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi.

It features a passionate melody with a slight kayōkyoku flavor, yet it also carries a certain laid-back, Heisei-era nonchalance that leaves an impression.

Although falsetto appears, the overall range is narrow, so even men in their 30s can sing it comfortably while reminiscing.

Until we meet againKiyohiko Ozaki79rank/position

In memory of Kiyohiko Ozaki — “Until the Day We Meet Again” (Mata Au Hi Made) HD

Kiyohiko Ozaki, who is a quarter British and Japanese.

Many people have been captivated by his voice, which feels unlike that of a typical Japanese singer.

“Mata Au Hi Made” is one of his signature songs and has been covered by many artists.

It’s a fairly challenging song, but if you can sing it through, it will definitely get the crowd going.

Eine KleineKenshi Yonezu80rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Eine Kleine

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!

KICK BACKKenshi Yonezu81rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – KICKBACK

For men in their teens and twenties, Kenshi Yonezu is a go-to artist.

He has a wide musical range, but if you’re looking for something that really hypes things up, “KICK BACK” is perfect.

Released as the theme song for the popular anime Chainsaw Man, it features a striking, impactful chorus and delivers an exceptional boost in energy despite its slightly fast tempo.

Above all, the near-shouted vocal phrase right before the final chorus—enhanced by the music video’s scene of being run over by a truck—is especially popular.

Goodbye ElegyMasaki Suda82rank/position

Masaki Suda “Sayonara Elegy”

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!

[Alexandros] – Wataridori (MV)

From the exhilarating intro guitar riff to the driving beat and crystalline vocals, this is a staple of [Alexandros]’s live shows.

The lyrics carry a powerful message filled with inner conflict and aspirations, perfectly balanced with a refreshing, hope-filled sound.

Released in March 2015, the track was featured in the film “Akegarasu.” It’s a song that gives you a strong push when you want to strive toward your goals or take a new step forward—one that lifts your spirits.

Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN84rank/position

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Sugar Song and Bitter Step” Live Music Video

This track features an energetic rock sound and lyrics that skillfully weave a contrast between sugar and bitter, leaving a strong impression.

Released by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN in May 2015, it was chosen as the ending theme for the anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.

It achieved the band’s highest position of No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and sparked a major response, with over 500,000 downloads.

It’s a highly recommended song not only for anime fans but also for teenage male rock listeners.

Sing it with friends at karaoke, and you’re sure to capture a sweet-and-bitter page of youth.
