Japanese karaoke songs that get teenage boys hyped

Goodbye ElegyMasaki Suda

Masaki Suda “Sayonara Elegy”

When it comes to the most popular actor among Gen Z, wouldn’t Masaki Suda be the top pick? He’s also thriving as an artist and has dropped several hit tunes.

Among his many standout songs, the one I especially recommend for teenage boys is Sayonara Elegy.

This track features a style that combines folk and rock, reminiscent of Kazuyoshi Saito.

While it has intensity, the overall melody stays within a narrow vocal range.

There are few long notes and no sudden jumps in pitch, making it a perfect choice for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.

Real FaceKAT-TUN

Real Face

This is one of KAT-TUN’s signature hit songs.

I think it’s a really cool track.

It’s unfortunate that members have been leaving one after another and the group has shrunk so much.

They’re currently on hiatus as a “recharging period,” but I hope they’ll resume activities someday and return to the stage.

One DayThe ROOTLESS

The ROOTLESS / One day

THE ROOTLESS’s major label debut work.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime One Piece and as the ending theme for the first episode of Toriko.

Irresistible for anison fans! The melody line is very beautiful.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Bitter Vacation” Official Music Video

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE is known for having many high tones.

When asked to name an artist with a high voice, many people probably picture the vocalist, Motoki Omori.

Although Mrs.

GREEN APPLE is strongly associated with high notes, there are no high-pitched parts in Bitter Vacation.

Compared to typical songs, it’s about average, but for a Mrs.

track, the vocal range is quite narrow.

In particular, there is no use of mixed voice or falsetto at all, so even men who can’t sing high notes can perform it without any problem.

Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy

Run, SAKAMOTO / Vaundy: SAKAMOTO DAYS with Vaundy

“Run, SAKAMOTO,” which is drawing attention as the theme song for the popular anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, is a new track by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Vaundy, featuring a strong rock flavor.

Despite its intense sound, the overall vocal range isn’t particularly high.

There is a key change to watch out for, but there aren’t any sections with drastic pitch jumps that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.

As a contemporary hit, it’s relatively easy to sing.

Knock KnockPilafian

Pilafian – Knock Knock

Pilaf Seijin is a rapper who draws attention—for better or worse—in the MC battle scene.

While he tends to attract a lot of haters in battles, his recorded music has been quite successful, racking up over a million plays, which is rare in hip-hop.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Knock Knock.” It’s delivered in a style that sits between rapping and singing, and it’s performed within a narrow vocal range throughout all parts.

It’s a big hit with teens and up, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Team friendsYuki Chiba

Yūki Chiba – Team Tomodachi (Official Music Video)

KOH, also known as Yuki Chiba, scored an explosive hit with his classic “Team Tomodachi.” If you’re a head, you definitely know it, and even if you’re not, you’ve probably heard it at least once on TikTok or Instagram.

Centered on trap, the track doesn’t feature any complex flows.

Its laid-back flow rolls on steadily, so even people who struggle with fastest-rap styles or flows like bonbero’s can sing it without any problem.

It absolutely kills at karaoke, so grab your guy friends, throw your arms over each other’s shoulders, and sing it together.
