Songs that score high easily on karaoke for men in their 20s

Fujii Kaze – “masshiro” (pure white) [Official Audio]

Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, his music is striking for its foundation in Black music genres like R&B, soul, and neo-soul, but this work is characterized by a dream pop-like finish.

The vocal range is on the narrower side for his songs, which alone makes it quite easy to sing, but the most distinctive feature is the vocal line.

In this track, the vocal line moves very gently in pitch, and the groove isn’t heavily emphasized either.

Among his songs, it’s one of the easiest to sing, both rhythmically and in terms of the vocal line.

After-school[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] – After School (MV)

[Alexandros] is a rock band known for a wide range of sounds—from classic rock to alternative and emo.

They’ve been active since the 2000s, but their momentum has only grown in the 2020s.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Afterschool.

It’s a British-style alternative rock track with a consistently gentle vocal line throughout.

While it features many long tones, the vocal range is quite narrow, making it easier to track the pitch accurately—another reason it’s a strong candidate for a high score.

Motohiro Hata × Naoki Matayoshi “Hitorigoto” Official Lyric Video

Since his debut in the mid-2000s, Motohiro Hata has been active as one of the leading singer-songwriters in the Japanese music scene.

He’s known for his innate singing voice—often described as a “voice made of steel and glass”—marked by a slightly husky quality and delicate high tones.

He has many fans among fellow musicians, and there are surely people who practice karaoke every day aspiring to his voice.

The song we’re introducing today, Hitorigoto, is a distinctive collaboration between Hata and Naoki Matayoshi.

Matayoshi wrote the lyrics and also performs a spoken reading at the beginning of the track.

Overall, it’s an acoustic, singer-songwriter piece tinged with melancholy.

To be honest, a song like this does demand a high level of expressive ability, but because it’s built on a simple melodic line, it will sound good if you focus on delivering Matayoshi’s literary lyrics as if you’re speaking to the listener.

If possible, try to recreate it including the spoken introduction!

CYMBillyrrom

Billyrrom – “CYM”【Official Music Video】

Billyrrom, who have elevated a variety of genres like soul and funk with a refined production aesthetic, are beloved for their stylish sound.

Their track “CYM,” released in March 2025, epitomizes the band’s essence: a sleek, sophisticated groove that feels great—an urban sound design that makes it a perfect pick for a nighttime drive.

Unlike typical J-pop with clearly defined A-melody, B-melody, and chorus sections, the song’s melodic approach is quite different and, to be honest, not easy.

Still, try to sing with poise, really locking into the groove created by the rhythm section.

The effortless falsetto touches add sensuality; if you deliver it coolly and stylishly, you’ll undoubtedly be the center of attention at karaoke that night!

Me too,YUTORI-SEDAI

YUTORI-SEDAI – Me Too, [Official Music Video] (Theme Song for the Drama “I’m Being Toyed With by a Younger Virgin Guy”)

The trio YUTORI-SEDAI, hailing from West Tokyo, has enjoyed immense popularity among younger generations through social media since their indie days, and finally made their long-awaited major debut in April 2025.

Their track “Watashi datte,” included on their major debut EP “blanket,” was pre-released in March of the same year and chosen as the theme song for the drama “Toshishita Doutei-kun ni Honrou Saretemasu,” making it a notable release.

It’s a signature love ballad from the band, featuring poignant guitar arpeggios, strings, and piano tones.

The melody line is very straightforward, and as long as you can handle the falsetto in the chorus, you should be able to sing it without issue.

Be mindful of the gradually building melodic progression, and aim for a dynamic, well-contrasted vocal delivery.

So, I got sunburned.Mao Sasagawa

Mao Sasagawa – Therefore, I Was Scorched

With catchy hooks and a uniquely twisted sound that resonate with contemporary hyperpop, coupled with introspective lyrics and a naïve vocal delivery, this track leaves a powerful impression on listeners.

“Therefore, It’s Burned” by the singular singer-songwriter Mao Sasagawa—often hailed as a maverick—embodies the title of their April 2025 album, “STRANGE POP,” and was released in March of the same year as a pre-album single.

The effect-processed vocals and electro beats take a different approach from typical J-pop and may feel intimidating to those unfamiliar with it, but listeners accustomed to Vocaloid will likely find it approachable.

The melody itself is pop and surprisingly easy to sing, so once you grasp the song’s structure, you can definitely pull it off at karaoke.

Song of Greensmall gift

Shoshina – #Midori no Uta

In addition to his success as part of the duo Shimofuri Myojo, Soshina showcases his talents in many fields—and he actually has a producer side as a Vocaloid creator as well.

“#Midori no Uta” is a song he originally released in 2020 as a Vocaloid producer, and in 2025 he rearranged it with a band sound and covered it himself.

While preserving the drive of the original, it’s been reborn into a track powered by raw, gritty guitar and urgent, hard-hitting drums.

It’s the kind of song you can power through on momentum when singing at karaoke, so if you want to hype up the crowd, definitely give it a try!
