Christmas EveYamashita Tatsuro
This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 12th single, released in December 1983.
Since it was used for JR Tokai’s “Christmas Express” campaign in 1988, it has become such a long-running hit that it’s listed in the Guinness World Records for J-pop singles, and it’s fair to call it a standard Japanese Christmas song.
It’s hard to imagine any man in his 40s today who hasn’t heard it.
The vocal melody and chord progression are very memorable and easy to hum along to, which I think is one reason it has been loved for so many years.
Not only for men in their 40s—the focus of this article—but for everyone, it’s a perfect karaoke staple to enjoy during the Christmas season.
WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes You Gotta Make a MovementH Jungle with T
H Jungle with t is a musical unit by Masatoshi Hamada of Downtown and Tetsuya Komuro.
The unit was born from the popular TV show “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP,” and their track “WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes You’ve Gotta Make a Move~” became explosively popular.
Classified in the genre known as jungle, this work is arranged with a reggae flavor throughout.
Although it features some somewhat loud sections, the overall vocal range isn’t wide, making it easy to sing and perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke.
There’s always tomorrowUrufuruzu
The original song was released as a single by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, and the version I’m introducing here is a cover by Ulfuls.
The melody of this song is quintessential Showa-era kayōkyoku—simple and easy to sing, the kind anyone can hum along to.
Even those who aren’t confident singers should be fine choosing it at karaoke! Sing it bright and cheerfully!
cherry blossomKobukuro
An acoustic guitar duo arrangement with that signature Kobukuro feel.
With a simple melody line, the two voices and harmonies are really pleasant, aren’t they? There is a higher falsetto at the very beginning, but the tempo isn’t fast and the rest of the range isn’t too high, so even those not confident in their singing can enjoy it.
Many people probably know the melody line of the chorus.
You don’t have to sing the falsetto part, but if you can, it’s nice to nail it stylishly.
It’s fairly high, so you’ll use more breath than you think.
Take a deep breath with diaphragmatic breathing, then send your voice straight up in a thin stream.
Think of it like whistling—does that make sense? Or like blowing through a straw.
If you can exhale all the way at the end, you’re golden! If you have a partner, enjoy harmonizing together!

A flower that blooms only hereKobukuro
This is Kobukuro’s 11th single, released in May 2005.
It was reportedly created as the theme song for the NTV drama “Ruri no Shima.” From the arrangement and sound of the backing track to the vocals by the two members of Kobukuro, it’s a beautiful ballad overflowing with a very gentle and soft atmosphere.
The vocal melody contains nothing flashy; it’s very straightforward and beautiful, making it extremely easy to remember and sing.
When you sing it, try to create a clear contrast between the parts that are sung powerfully—such as the chorus—and the other sections.
Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE
As THE ALFEE, this is their 17th single.
It’s said that Takamizawa created this song with the conscious aim of making it “a hit that leads to the next,” and it has become one of their live staples! In later years, versions incorporating orchestral and classical elements were also released, and the ongoing evolution of the arrangement has drawn attention.
Having multiple versions makes it fun to listen, doesn’t it? It’s a band-rock track with a cool guitar right from the intro, so you’ll probably be hyped up and ready to deliver great vocals even before you start singing! The vocal range isn’t that high, so many men should find it easy to sing.
If you open your throat and project your voice as if sending it far, you’ll likely find it very comfortable to sing.
Wine Red Heartanzenchitai
Wine Red no Kokoro, a signature song that could be called Anzen Chitai’s big breakthrough.
Lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Koji Tamaki—looking back, that’s quite a luxurious lineup.
While the chorus has some higher notes, it’s generally written in a range that’s comfortable for male singers.
The song has a mature vibe, so you’ll want to sing it coolly and smoothly.
When performing, switching between spoken-like delivery and full-on singing will make it more captivating.
And definitely belt the chorus! The vowels “i” and the m-row sounds can be tricky.
If you spread the “i” too wide horizontally, you’ll tense your throat and won’t be able to ascend in chest voice.
Recall the feeling of humming and let the sound resonate lightly in the head.
The m-row sounds are nasal; they’re easier to produce if you project the voice a bit more firmly.
