GROLIAZIGGY
The initial release came out in May 1988, simultaneously with “I’M GETTIN’ BLUE.” In 1989, it was selected as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Dō•Kyū•Sei,” leading to a second single cut.
It sold about 329,000 copies (peaking at No.
3 on Oricon), becoming ZIGGY’s biggest hit.
Released at the height of the late-’80s band boom, I remember countless groups performing it at high school and university festivals back then.
When composer Morishige first played it for the band, there was some pushback because it sounded a bit too much like a kayōkyoku-style pop song; true to that, it’s extremely catchy and one of the best choices for a song everyone can sing along to and enjoy together.
The original key might be a bit tough for those not confident in their singing, so don’t hesitate to drop the key and have fun.
It’s an excellent model of upbeat Japanese rock in a major key, so even just listening without singing is plenty enjoyable!
Island SongTHE BOOM
A song by the Japanese rock band THE BOOM, it was first released in January 1992 as a track on their album Adolescence, and later became a long-selling work with multiple versions released as singles.
THE BOOM emerged from the “Hokoten” street scene into the major stage amid the early-’90s band boom, so anyone in their 40s as of 2020 likely experienced those years in real time during their youth.
Many people probably covered this song in school festival bands back then.
As for the vocals, the song makes extensive use of the distinctive Okinawan scale, but there aren’t any particularly difficult parts for karaoke; if anything, the memorable melody makes it easier to learn, making it approachable even for those who don’t usually sing.
If you really delve into it, there may be sections that benefit from folk-style vocal production and phrasing, but if you’re just enjoying it at karaoke, there’s no need to be that particular.
It might be even better if you can clearly highlight the contrast between the A and B sections that heavily use the Okinawan scale and the poppy chorus.
bulbTHE YELLOW MONKEY
THE YELLOW MONKEY is a band that enjoyed overwhelming popularity among men in their 40s and late 30s.
It’s no exaggeration to say they represent Japan when it comes to glam rock.
Among their songs, I especially recommend “Kyūkon” (“Bulb”).
It starts quietly and then dramatically ramps up in the chorus, but aside from the many long sustained notes, the vocal line is very simple.
The song doesn’t require a particularly wide vocal range, so give it a try.
Traveler ~The Longest Journeybakufū suranpu
Bakufu Slump has produced many classic songs and remains a band with enduring popularity even today.
Their track “Tabibito yo ~The Longest Journey~” is a comeback hit that revived their fortunes and was loved by many listeners, especially men.
While the vocal delivery has a distinctly masculine style, the song’s range sits comfortably in the mid-to-lower register, making it manageable even for men who struggle with low notes.
It’s also easy to sing even when your throat starts to get tired, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
I can’t love anyone but you anymore.KinKi Kids
Among men in their 40s, especially the younger half, KinKi Kids are relatively well-known.
I imagine many men in their 40s sing their songs.
With that in mind, I recommend Mou Kimi Igai Aisenai (“I Can’t Love Anyone But You”).
This track follows in the footsteps of classic Heisei-era ballads, featuring an overall catchy, slow vocal line.
The dynamics may make it seem tricky, but the vocal range isn’t particularly wide, so it’s perfectly manageable for events like after-party karaoke.
Definitely give it a try.
Bacchi DancerDOES
DOES is a rock band that’s extremely popular with male listeners.
Many people may have come to like them through the anime Gintama.
Among DOES’s songs, one I especially recommend is Bakuchi Dancer.
It’s a sharp, punchy rock track, but the vocal range is very compact at mid1D to mid2E.
Plus, the singing style is mainly a spit-it-out delivery, so it doesn’t require delicate vocals and is exceptionally easy to sing.
River of TimeFENCE OF DEFENSE
FENCE OF DEFENSE is a rock band that gained popularity for a musical style centered on genres like progressive rock and power pop.
They released many works incorporating techno-influenced sounds, and alongside groups like SOFT BALLET, they’re recognized as one of the quintessential edgy rock bands of the ’90s.
Their song Toki no Kawa (River of Time) is renowned as one of their masterpieces.
While its composition is somewhat unusual, the vocal range isn’t particularly wide and there are no abrupt key changes, so as long as you learn the vocal line well, most people should be able to reproduce it to a fair degree.
