Japanese karaoke songs that get teenage boys hyped

More Berry SummerCUTIE STREET

[LIVE Footage] CUTIE STREET “More Berry Summer” 📍Makuhari Messe, International Exhibition Hall, Halls 9–11 (2025/7/21)

It’s a song packed with phrases about youth, friendship, and first love, so it really resonates with teenagers and is easy to sing in your own words.

It’s also performed at summer festivals and has lots of live-style callouts, so it should get everyone hyped at karaoke! The melody is catchy, and the vocal range doesn’t go that high.

Up to the chorus, there’s more call-and-response than “singing,” so enjoy it together with everyone, then switch to a “singing” mindset from the chorus to add dynamics and really bring the song to life.

For the high parts, try singing as if you’re sending your voice far away—your voice will come out more easily, so give it a try! And since the groove is key, the best way is to keep the rhythm with your body while you sing.

Killer tune!Yo Oizumi

It’s a song that was released as a digital-only single on August 14, 2025, and since it was also produced as the CM song for “LIVE DAM WAO!,” its theme is karaoke—so it seems like it would really hype people up when you actually sing it at karaoke! Plus, it’s a fresh, up-tempo track, so I think it will look and sound great in a karaoke setting.

It’ll likely be easier to sing if you memorize the lyrics to some extent beforehand.

The chorus in particular has a lot of words and moves quickly.

That said, the lyrics rhyme like a rap, so once you lock into the groove, it should be easier to sing.

If you’re keeping time in 4/4, putting an accent on the first beat of the intro gives it a driving, forward-leaning feel that makes it easier to deliver.

Rather than trying to articulate every single word, let the lyrics ride the melody.

I recommend humming while you’re learning the song—try it in a relaxed state!

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI

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.

Creepy Nuts “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” × TV Anime “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES” Collaboration Music Video #BBBB Dance

When it comes to the biggest buzzworthy track in Japan’s 2024 music scene, it has to be Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born.” Produced as the opening theme for season 2 of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” specifically the “Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc,” the song needs no introduction—its “BBBB Dance” exploded on TikTok, becoming a massive hit not only in Japan but worldwide.

Of course, it’s a masterpiece born from the duo’s exceptional skills, but it’s also the kind of track that shines at karaoke: even if you can’t rap it perfectly, everyone can still get hyped together.

And naturally, if you can nail it perfectly and wow your friends, you should totally give that a try!

A four-piece rock band that changed its name from [Champagne] to Alexandros in 2014.

This is their 10th single overall, and it was also used as the theme song for Asahi Beer’s commercial “Asahi The Dream.” Hitting the high notes in the chorus might be quite challenging.

It’s a four-member rock band that also drew attention when vocalist Takahiro Yamamura appeared in a TV drama.

The song features beautiful string sounds and was the theme song for the film “From Me to You.” It’s a good one to try singing if you go to karaoke with your girlfriend.

Love♡Scream!AiScReam

Love♡Scream!

If you’re a teen who wants to sing a poppy, explosively cute song at karaoke, I highly recommend “Ai♡Scream!” It’s the debut single released in February 2025 by AiScReam, a limited-time unit from the Love Live! series, and just like the title suggests, it’s a love song that’s intensely sweet—like ice cream.

The spoken lines in the middle practically beg for a call-and-response at concerts, and it’s sure to hype up any karaoke session, too.

Honestly, it can even be a hilarious pick for guys to sing with friends on purpose!
