Karaoke Songs in Japanese That Get 20-Something Men Hyped (71–80)
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Golden Bomber
Golden Bomber’s signature song.
Combined with the simple choreography, it’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd at karaoke! I think men in their 20s are the best age group to sing it, so I hope you’ll use this song to liven up the moment!
KanadeSukima Switch
Speaking of Sukima Switch at karaoke, for many people it probably comes down to two staple hits: the upbeat “Zenryoku Shonen” or the mellow “Kanade.” In situations where safe, crowd-pleasing choices are preferred—like a wedding after-party with lots of first-time acquaintances or a group date—these songs really come in handy.
Interestingly, this song tends to land perfectly when sung by men with a slightly nasal tone.
If that’s something you’re self-conscious about, try practicing it—you might make an unexpected discovery.
swallowtail butterflyPorno Graffitti
Propelled into the spotlight by the massive success of their major-label debut single “Apollo,” the two-piece rock band Porno Graffitti went on to secure unwavering popularity in the J-pop scene with a string of hits.
This is their sixth single.
Chosen as the CM song for FT Shiseido’s “Tessera Tokonattsu Coconut,” it features a driving Spanish guitar over a Latin beat that really gets your energy up.
The melody is quite fast, making it challenging, but if you can power through it, it’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd.
It’s a track packed with Porno Graffitti’s appeal that we’d love to see men in their 30s sing at karaoke with friends of the same generation.
A-RA-SHIstorm
This song, one of the signature tracks by Arashi, a five-member group representing Johnny’s, has almost no high notes and is relatively easy to sing even for people with lower natural voices.
It’s also very popular among women and widely known, so it’s a great choice to sing together and get everyone excited.
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LAHironobu Kageyama
It’s the opening theme from the anime Dragon Ball Z—something almost everyone in their 30s has probably heard.
It’s a blast whether you sing it solo or with a group, and that chorus feels absolutely amazing.
You’ll find yourself humming it even without a mic.
Let’s reminisce about our Dragon Ball memories together.
I won't fall in love anymore.Noriyuki Makihara
As a karaoke classic, Noriyuki Makihara’s “Mou Koi Nante Shinai” is an excellent choice.
Its lyrics, which trace the joys and sorrows of love, are easy to relate to and truly resonate.
The song isn’t very difficult, so even first-timers can try it with ease.
Its progression brings out the singer’s emotions, naturally captivating those around you and ramping up the energy.
The melody is beloved across generations—not just among men in their 20s—and it lets you sing out comfortably.
If you sing with feeling, your friends and colleagues are sure to be drawn in.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
This is the first major-label single by Kishidan, a six-member rock band that calls their style “Yank Rock,” inspired by the 1980s delinquent (tsuppari) aesthetic and set to poppy tunes.
With its nostalgic melody, memorable phrases, and para-para-style choreography, everything about it makes for a catchy, high-energy track.
It’s easy to add call-and-response parts and everyone can dance along, so it’s well known as a karaoke staple.
It’s exactly the kind of number that men in their 30s—the generation it speaks to—should keep in their repertoire for getting the whole group fired up.
