Japanese karaoke songs that get teenage boys hyped

RADWIMPS – Proposition [Official Music Video]

The RADWIMPS song “Meidai,” known as the theme for the popular news program news zero.

Their recent tracks tend to have dramatic pitch leaps, and this one is no exception, featuring a succession of phrases that require intense rises and falls in pitch.

The vocal range here is quite wide, from mid1 C to hi A#, and since there isn’t much leeway either lower or higher, you’ll need to break through the range barrier on your own.

The pitch movement in the chorus—where the energy peaks—is relatively gentle, so the chorus shouldn’t be an issue; however, there are very few breathing points, so make sure to study the vocal line in advance.

In addition to general rock, Macaroni Empitsu is a band with a wide musical range, from psychedelic to hard rock.

For men who like Japanese rock, you could say they’re an extremely popular band.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka Nani mo Nai Sekai de.

Although the song sits in an easy-to-sing range of mid1 A to hi A, it still builds excitement properly, and in the chorus you can let out a big voice with a near-shouted feel.

The scat-like section at the end of the chorus starts with a shout, so it’s good to aim for a slightly more vigorous, rough vocal style.

Saidai Kouyakusuu

Among RADWIMPS’ songs, this one doesn’t sit too high in range, so you don’t need to belt.

As long as you stay mindful of the rhythmic timing, you can aim for a high score! In particular, the A verse stays mostly in the mid–low (mid1) range, so it’s good to sing gently, as if speaking.

The range gradually rises from the B verse, but there’s no need to push your voice.

If you keep the breath flowing and imagine resonating in the head, your head voice will take on a chesty quality, and once you find your comfortable spot, it becomes much easier to sing.

Also, some may find the rhythm tricky where the melody gets fast, but since the range isn’t too high, you’ll be fine if you place the notes carefully and sing with precision.

As the pitch climbs, imagine resonating in the head and try keeping it light!

Kenshi Yonezu – KICKBACK

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who also has a persona as a Vocaloid producer and continues to expand the musical possibilities of the J-pop scene.

The track released in November 2022, used as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man, drew major attention for featuring Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu on arrangement.

With its drum’n’bass-driven, intense beat and whirlwind progression, the sound feels like a roller coaster that sweeps listeners along, deeply linking with the work’s frenzied worldview.

The lyrics, infused with the protagonist’s somewhat nihilistic and self-destructive desire for happiness and good fortune, strike a powerful impulse into the listener’s heart.

It’s an aggressive, cool rock tune that blasts away the boredom of everyday life and lifts your mood to the max.

According to JOYSOUND, the average score for “Moshimo” in August 2025 was 85.

670.

If you pay a bit more attention to pitch, I think you can raise it even further.

Since rhythm is very important in this song, it’s best to start by matching the timing slowly and accurately.

Rather than trying to sing the whole thing at once, practice section by section so it doesn’t get jumbled and is easier to memorize.

In parts with lots of words, clapping along, keeping the rhythm with your body, or speaking crisply will help you lock into the beat.

For the chorus, try swaying side to side as if you’re dancing; you’ll be able to sing more energetically, which helps you hit the high notes and project your voice.

Since it’s an idol song, the most important thing is to have fun singing it.

Singing with high energy makes it easier to project, so try singing with a smile!

YUU

It was released on August 27, 2025, and it’s also the theme song for the anime “Pokémon: Episode Mega Evolution”! The reading is “Yū.” It’s a stylish song with a touch of traditional Japanese flavor! Since it’s a Pokémon song, it’s easy to get into, and the lyrics carry a strong message of “forging your own path,” which might really resonate with teens.

Yuzu’s songs are generally easy for women to sing as long as there aren’t low notes! This track stays mostly in the mid-to-high range, so it might be composed in a key that’s easy for just about anyone to sing.

The chorus starts on G#4 and then steps down, so if you put a clear accent on that very first note, it’ll make projecting your voice easier! The opening is crucial, so keep that momentum going as you sing!

As the title suggests, it’s a positive song with lyrics that boost your self-esteem and help you love yourself! The range is comfortable, so even karaoke beginners can sing it with confidence, and it’s easy to get hyped at karaoke—singing with friends will make it even more fun.

When you sing, the chorus starts on A#4, so don’t push your voice; imagine singing lightly with a smile, which makes it easier to catch the groove and keep it sounding cute.

It might be best to sing as if you’ve actually become an idol! That way your facial muscles stay lifted, which prevents a throaty sound and lets you sing comfortably and pleasantly.

Also, waving your hand side to side like at a live concert helps you lock into the rhythm, so I recommend it!
