This song is a popular, bittersweet classic with a wistful vibe.

It’s especially cool when sung by men around their 40s.

It was such a big hit that anyone from that generation is sure to know it.

Many people probably listened to it a lot during their youth.

It’s an easy song for men to sing, and the relaxed tempo makes it a great choice for karaoke! If you can sing it solidly and with a masculine feel, it will definitely get the crowd going.

One point to watch out for: don’t sing too many verses! That would be a bit too macho.

It’s a classic song by a Heisei-era folk duo that was all the rage back then.

“Aoi Bench” is famous, but I want people to know there’s another wonderful classic like this and for lots of folks to sing it.

It beautifully captures those indescribable adolescent feelings in both the lyrics and melody, and the chorus in particular makes me ache with nostalgia for that time.

But the song ends on a positive note, so it feels great to sing.

This was Sukima Switch’s second single, released in March 2004.

It was featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and used in commercials such as Tokio Marine & Nichido Life Insurance’s “Medical Kit R: Sukima Switch ‘Kanade’ for Tokio Marine & Nichido Life” campaign, among many other tie-ins.

It’s truly one of the standout J-pop classics of the Heisei era.

If you’re a man in your 40s, chances are you’ve heard it at least once.

Musically, it’s a ballad with a very straightforward and beautiful melody, so I think anyone can hum along and sing it with ease.

Try to sing it with care, treating each word of the lyrics with importance and delivering it gently.

A track released by a hugely popular ska band featuring Hiroto Kōmoto as a guest vocalist.

This combination is truly exhilarating.

Stylish sounds paired with Kōmoto’s clumsy yet romantic worldview.

It’s a song that’s both cute and cool.

I want people to sing it with tons of energy.

This song, included on Masaharu Fukuyama’s 24th single “Keshin,” was created with the theme of life, inspired by his own grandmother, and served as the ending theme for NTV’s “NEWS ZERO.” It’s easy to sing at karaoke and is a moving, emotionally resonant piece.

A message song that joyfully celebrates human connections and resonates with the heart.

Released in 2000 as their ninth single, “Suki ni Natteku Aishiteku” was written specifically as the theme song for the variety show “LOVE LOVE Aishiteru.” The lyrics were penned by Tsuyoshi, and the music was composed by Koichi.

The warm band sound gently seeps deep into your chest.

The melody sits quite low in range, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably without strain.

dragonflyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

It’s Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 20th single in total, released in October 1988.

It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Tonbo,” in which Nagabuchi himself starred, and it became a million seller.

It’s one of the iconic folk-rock songs of the Heisei era.

To make this song sound good at karaoke, the key is, above all, how you handle the pauses—the “ma” between phrases and between lines.

Vocally, there aren’t many particularly difficult melodic parts, so try singing while keeping a solid sense of rhythm.

Since Nagabuchi’s singing style is very distinctive, it’s perfectly fine to have fun doing an impression of him, including the scat sections in the intro and elsewhere!
