There’s always tomorrowRe:Japan

Have you ever found yourself humming “Ashita ga Aru sa” during breaks back in your school days? The original was released in the 1960s, and thanks to its easy-to-listen, familiar melody—and the cover by Re:Japan, a unit formed by comedians—it became a nationwide hit.

It’s guaranteed to get people in their 40s excited together!

This is another song by a monster band that defined the Heisei era.

They’ve got nothing but great tracks, but I’m pushing this one hard.

The guitar sound in the background is absolutely beautiful.

You can fully enjoy it even at karaoke, and if you can sing it with the same powerful voice as TERU, it’s guaranteed to bring the house down.

A refreshing, cool song.

HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

HONEY [15th L’Anniversary Live]
HONEYL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, isn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel at the top of the list? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song, too.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.

If you have a typical male range and can use falsetto, it should be easy to sing.

The chorus is very straightforward and uplifting, which makes it easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from sounding muffled.

Unfamiliar ranges—both low and high—tend to use more breath.

When going for low notes, imagine sending a steady “package” of breath forward slowly; your body will resonate more, and you’ll hear your own voice better.

And groove is crucial! It helps you relax and makes your voice come out more easily, so sing it with full energy and have fun!

Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu

The Checkers “Lullaby of a Zigzag Heart” (LIVE)

The Checkers, with Fumiya Fujii as the vocalist.

They were popular as an idol-style band in the 1980s.

I love the intro of this song too, and it modulates at the end and the pitch goes up… it’s just so cool.

The same melodic line repeats several times, and the song’s range is set in a register that’s easy for men to sing, so it seems like you can have fun singing along with a good groove.

By the way, in the very last phrase after the key change in the final chorus, the pitch goes up—did you all know that? When you sing it at karaoke, if you focus on that part and hit the notes solidly, it’ll land really stylishly! Basically, if you keep the energy up while you sing, your vocal cords will resonate and the high notes will come out more easily, so try singing it with some momentum.

Wine Red Heartanzenchitai

Wine Red no Kokoro, a signature song that could be called Anzen Chitai’s breakthrough.

Lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Koji Tamaki—looking back, what a luxurious lineup.

While the chorus includes some higher notes, the song is fundamentally written in a range comfortable for male singers.

It has a mature atmosphere, so you’ll want to sing it coolly and smoothly.

When performing, switching between spoken-like delivery and full-throated singing will make it more captivating.

I definitely want you to belt the chorus! The vowel “i” and the M-line consonants can be tricky.

If you stretch “i” too horizontally, tension builds in the throat and you’ll struggle to ascend in chest voice.

Recall the sensation of humming and let the sound resonate lightly in the head.

As for the “m” sounds, since they resonate nasally, they become easier if you project the voice with some firmness.

You pure motherfuckersKishidan

As a CD single from Kishidan, this is their first new song in an astonishing five years and eight months.

It was written by Sho Ayanokoji as the theme song for the drama “Donketsu,” which begins airing on April 25, 2025! It features Kishidan’s signature hot, rough rock band sound that perfectly matches the yakuza-themed world of the drama.

The melody line is very straightforward, and since the same chorus melody appears, it shouldn’t be hard to remember the song.

Also, being a Kishidan track, the vocal range isn’t too high and sits comfortably for male singers.

It sounds cool if you sing it with a clenched-fist, power-through delivery! One thing to watch out for is to keep your throat relaxed without tensing up.

Using gestures helps you naturally loosen up and makes it easier to sing! Be sure to learn the choreography and have fun singing along.
