[For Men in Their 20s] Easy-to-Sing Oldies & Recent Songs for Karaoke

Unrequited loveSUPER BEAVER

SUPER BEAVER “Unrequited Love” MV

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.

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS “One More”

This song, released with baseball player Masahiro Tanaka on the CD cover, is the most popular track among FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ singles.

Their fans are probably mostly men in their 20s.

It’s a very easy song for everyone to sing together.

Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE

When it comes to Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s songs, many people probably think of melodies with a wide vocal range backed by vocalist Motoki Omori’s overwhelming singing ability, and may have given up on trying them at karaoke because they seem difficult.

For those people, I recommend the song Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024.

Among Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s tracks, its melody line is relatively low in pitch and not overly complex, making it the kind of song you can sing comfortably along to its lively rhythm.

There are moments where a touch of irregular meter slips in, but once you get used to it, it’s not that hard—so be sure to add it to your karaoke repertoire.

RUNWAYTENDRE

TENDRE – RUNWAY（Official Visualizer）

TENDRE is the solo project of Taro Kawahara, a multi-instrumentalist as well as a singer-songwriter and producer.

TENDRE has earned high praise for the ability to ground songs in R&B, soul, and hip-hop while polishing them into high-quality pop.

Released in May 2025, the track “RUNWAY” exemplifies TENDRE’s appeal, standing out with refined, meticulously crafted sound.

It might seem a bit challenging to sing at karaoke, but the melody itself isn’t that difficult—once you try it, you may be surprised at how smoothly it goes.

Give it a shot, and deliver it with cool confidence.

Kocchinoken, a multi-creator whose household name skyrocketed with the 2024 hit song “Hai Yorokonde,” released a track in May 2025 titled “Sore mo Ii ne,” written specifically as the theme song for the children’s TV program The Wakey Show.

Because it was composed for kids, it’s extremely catchy and easy to remember, with a melody that even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy singing.

For example, it would surely be a hit at family karaoke when a dad sings it for the children.

Of course, it’s also great for adults to sing together and feel like kids again!

My Hair is Bad – You Are the Sea

Many people are probably looking for an emotional, rock-style song that’s easy to sing at karaoke.

For you, I recommend “Kimi ga Umi” by My Hair is Bad.

The song is themed around the sea, and its slightly nostalgic vibe feels very summery.

The melody makes it easy to sing with emotion, so be sure to put your heart into it.

Naotaro Moriyama – Sakura (Solo)

This is Naotaro Moriyama’s biggest hit, “Sakura (Solo).” Its relaxed melody makes it easy to sing.

It would be kind of fun to pick this song at karaoke, right? Don’t hesitate to switch to falsetto for the high notes and really hype up the room!
