Attractive songs recommended for women in their 20s: Karaoke tracks that are popular with men

Pop music writer/editorKEI
A style that keeps updating my favorites while loving mainstream and hit songs. I have experience writing articles for outlets like Utaten. Since I discovered music as a student, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. 2000s J-POP and 2010s K-POP were my youth, and I’m also loosely into jazz and R&B. I enjoy good music across genres with a “good is good” mindset. Thanks to my past work environment (and its influence), I listened to a lot of classic rock and kayōkyoku, which may have broadened my tastes. At RAG MUSIC, I mainly cover K-POP. I focus on reviews that emphasize feelings people can relate to, and on editing aligned with local pride and hit potential. Thank you!

I play Electone, piano, and piano with vocals, and I upload performance videos to social media like YouTube! I’ve loved Disney music since I was little and have played many pieces on the Electone. I’ve been a fan of GLAY since junior high, and from there I started listening to all kinds of music, both Japanese and international. In Western music, I like Avril Lavigne♫

We’re all going out for karaoke, but there’s actually a guy in the group I’m interested in… I bet a lot of women can relate, right?

Or maybe you’re not dating, but you’ve ended up going to karaoke one-on-one with a guy you like.

That might be the case for some of you, too.

In times like these, the big question is: “What songs should I sing to be attractive?”

So in this article, I’ll introduce songs that tend to be popular with men!

From a woman’s perspective, some of these picks might feel a little embarrassing—but honestly, that’s exactly the kind of thing guys are happy to see!

All right, take a look through the article and use it as a reference for choosing your songs!

Attractive songs recommended for women in their 20s: Karaoke tracks that men like (31–40)

Little Glee Monster 'The World Is Smiling at You' Short Ver.

The world is smiling at you Little Glee Monster

Watch “Sekai wa Anata ni Waraikaketeiru (The World Is Smiling at You) by Little Glee Monster” on YouTube

There are plenty of men who like women who sing refreshing, upbeat songs.

If you’re looking for that kind of track, I recommend Little Glee Monster’s “Sekai wa Anata ni Waraikaketeiru” (“The World Is Smiling at You”).

Its music video, which has a sports theme, is memorable, so I think it will go over really well with men who enjoy watching sports.

It’s also a great one to try harmonizing with your female friends.

To Hikarimiwa

Hikari e – miwa (Full)

To Hikari, from miwa

I think songs that can move people also go over well with men.

When you want to sing that kind of song, I recommend miwa’s “Hikari e.” It’s also one of her signature songs, which she performed when she appeared on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen for the first time.

Since then, it’s become a karaoke staple.

The positive lyrics match the catchy melody, making it perfect when you want to create an emotional atmosphere.

A Bouquet for YouHikaru Utada

Hikaru Utada – A Bouquet for You

A Bouquet for You by Hikaru Utada

A woman singing a heartrending song always looks captivating, doesn’t she? If you want to sing something bittersweet, I recommend Hikaru Utada’s “Hanataba o Kimi ni” (“A Bouquet for You”).

The melody is sorrowful, but the lyrics carry a touch of hope, which is really nice.

It’s a well-known song, so it’s sure to liven up karaoke with anyone.

Ayaka – Crescent Moon

Ayaka Mikazuki

As autumn comes around, I imagine many people feel like singing Mikazuki.

Released in 2006, it’s one of Ayaka’s signature love ballads.

The lyrics, centered on a long-distance relationship, overflow with a poignant loneliness that makes you yearn for someone.

Back then it was all about cell phones, but now with smartphones, even when you’re far apart, the distance can feel smaller—and sometimes the opposite is true.

When you can’t say things clearly face-to-face, this is a song that lets you pour your feelings into it.

I find women singing ballads incredibly captivating.

Hitoto Yo – Hanamizuki

Hanamizuki Hitoto Yo

Rather than choosing a song with a quirky twist, wouldn’t singing a straightforwardly popular song earn higher approval from men? With that in mind, a highly recommended hit is Hitoto Yo’s “Hanamizuki.” In fact, this song was reportedly the most sung in karaoke during the Heisei era.

It’s a beautiful ballad that showcases a woman’s charm, and the lyrics aren’t too dark, which is nice.

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

SHISHAMO again tomorrow

It’s the SHISHAMO song performed at the 2017 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and arguably the track that catapulted SHISHAMO to fame.

Vocalist Asako Miyazaki’s feminine voice blends with a rock sound, creating SHISHAMO’s signature approachable vibe.

Its rhythmic, moderately upbeat groove might be just the thing to catch the attention of the person you like.

Seeing you sing it joyfully will likely make them feel closer to you.

Why not use this song as a chance to shorten the distance between you and him?

Keyakizaka46 'Black Sheep'

Black Sheep Keyakizaka46

I think there are quite a lot of men who like idol songs.

If you’re looking for idol songs that guys can sing to be popular at karaoke, I recommend Keyakizaka46’s “Kuroi Hitsuji” (Black Sheep).

When people think of idol songs, they usually imagine something cute and pure, but this track has a slightly darker vibe.

I think even men who like idol songs will find it refreshing to listen to.
