[20s] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Ranking [2025]

TOKYO GIRLPerfume22rank/position

[Official Music Video] Perfume 「TOKYO GIRL」

This song, which is the theme for Tokyo Tarareba Girls, was released in 2017.

The member from Hiroshima shows off her thick Hiroshima dialect during the MC segments.

Perfume’s technopop songs are produced by Yasutaka Nakata and are popular overseas as well.

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI23rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic song “RPG.” This work, which could be called the culmination of the band’s fantastical musical style from their early days, is something anyone born in the Heisei era has probably heard at least once.

Surprisingly, the song’s vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 C# to hi A.

Since the frequently used notes are also on the lower side, even men with lower voices can sing it without issue if they drop the key.

If you want to boost the quality, try mixing in breaths like Fukase does—doing so will really liven things up at karaoke.

only my railgun

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun.

Personally, I like the key change into the final chorus.

It gets even more exciting if you can choose the anime footage as the background.

It’s memorable that Shinji Maggy appears in the PV.

Genesis of AquarionAKINO25rank/position

Sousei no Aquarion (Cover)

This is the song used for the opening of the anime “Genesis of Aquarion.” The anime became so famous that it was turned into a pachinko game in 2007, so people of the same generation have probably heard it somewhere at least once.

Also, the chorus lyrics are easy to understand, which makes it really exciting.

Butter-FlyKoji Wada26rank/position

Butter-Fly – Kouji Wada (Full) (Digimon Adventure OP)

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Digimon Adventure.

It’s one of the songs I always sing when I go to karaoke.

When I went with men of the same generation, we all belted it out together—that’s how much I love this song.

I especially love how it builds up into the chorus.

Meltsupercell27rank/position

Hatsune Miku "Melt"

It’s a Vocaloid song.

It’s so famous that it has over six million video views.

The song sings of a delicate maiden’s crush, but when it’s performed by a rugged, masculine singer, the contrast is amusing and really hypes up the crowd.

It also gets lively if you turn the lyrics into a parody version.

Dualism of RevolutionNana Mizuki × T.M.Revolution28rank/position

Nana Mizuki × T.M.Revolution “Kakumei Dualism” Music Video (Full ver.)

This is the opening song of the anime Valvrave the Liberator.

It’s a very well-known track, having been performed at the 2013 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen and winning the Japan Record Award, among other honors.

I was blown away by the sheer vocal power of the two singers at Kouhaku.
