[For men in their 20s] Songs that score easily on karaoke (1–10)
SAY KOU SHOWRobert Akiyama
In addition to his work as a comedian, Akiyama of Robert showcases his musical talent through comic songs and more.
He already has a few hit tunes like “TOKAKUKA,” but lately it’s “SAY KOU SHOW” that’s been especially popular.
This track boldly and unabashedly puts dirty jokes front and center, and is characterized by a groovy yet repetitive vocal line.
The vocal range is narrow as well, making it a perfect song for aiming at a high score.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
AKASAKI’s track “Bunny Girl” became a viral hit on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts, gaining nationwide popularity.
Among men in their 20s, there are probably very few who haven’t heard it.
Despite its popularity, the song actually boasts one of the narrowest vocal ranges in Japanese music.
Perhaps because the vocal line is also quite simple, it’s very easy to follow the pitch—there aren’t even any long notes or ad-libs—so as long as you match the pitch, scoring over 90 is easily within reach.
amberSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI are known for their wide musical range, from orthodox rock to fantastical J-pop.
Recently, they shifted their style toward groove-focused tracks, but their new song “Kohaku” returns to their roots with a languid, introspective J-pop vibe.
Because Fukase’s voice is high, it might seem like a high-pitched song, but the range isn’t that wide, and the vocal line is relatively flat with little contour.
There are plenty of long tones, but the pitch is easy to track, so if you can find the right key and maintain stable vocal production, you can definitely aim for a high score.
freesiaMarcy
In 2024, Marcy achieved a milestone by performing at the sacred Nippon Budokan, cementing their status as one of Japan’s leading young bands.
Their lyrics, which capture delicate emotional shifts that resonate with many in the younger generation, and their poignant, melodically sung masterpieces are also very popular at karaoke.
That said, the melodies sung by Ukyo Yoshida’s high-tone voice can seem difficult… For those who feel that way, we recommend Freesia, set for release in April 2025.
Its vocal range is relatively narrow, and it doesn’t require extremely high notes, making it approachable even for singers with lower voices.
Try singing it with enough conviction to fully convey the protagonist’s feelings, and deliver it with emotion.
Unrequited loveSUPER BEAVER
SUPER BEAVER is a four-piece rock band that has been active since the 2000s—a renowned name any Japanese rock fan will know.
Recently, with the release of their new song “Kataomoi” (Unrequited Love), they’ve once again drawn national attention.
This track, which sparked their renewed breakout, features an emotional melody that blends orthodox J-pop with a touch of rock.
The vocals sit mostly in the low-to-mid range throughout, but near the end of the chorus there’s a high, belted shout delivered in chest voice.
Aside from that section, it’s very singable overall, so if you’re good at shouting, consider adding it to your repertoire.
When love endsRin-ne
Born in 1999 and hailing from Fukuoka, Rin-ne is a rapper who’s gained popularity especially among younger listeners.
Rather than a hard-edged style, he’s known for a melodious approach that sits between mellow tracks, melody, and rap—earning support even from people who don’t usually listen to hip-hop.
“Koi ga Owareba,” a track from his third EP, “back alley,” released in December 2024, is quintessential Rin-ne: a standout song featuring a chill, lo-fi hip-hop-inspired track, melodious rap, and sharp, clever wordplay.
Overall, there are plenty of sections where the melody is sung, and if you learn the lyrics and the phrasing breaks, it’s approachable even for those who aren’t confident with rap—plus, it’ll sound cool at karaoke!
bergamotSora Tomonari
Tomonari Sora’s hit number “Bergamot” has garnered nationwide popularity.
If you’re a man in your 20s, you’ve probably heard it at least once through TikTok or Instagram.
The song features falsetto, but it’s mostly just forcing falsetto in parts that could be sung in chest voice, so the overall range is rather narrow.
Singers of any vocal range should be able to handle it comfortably at the right key.
The rap section’s flow is somewhat complex, but the vocal melody is simple, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
