Released as a single in October 2014, it was featured in a commercial for the wedding magazine Zexy and earned the Best Vocal Performance at the 56th Japan Record Awards that same year.

From Me to Youflumpool

flumpool’s “Kimi ni Todoke” is the perfect song when you want to light up the karaoke room—especially if you want to win over women’s hearts.

It’s a classic that dominated the charts for 11 weeks in 2010 and also drew attention as a movie theme song.

The lyrics overflow with honest feelings for a loved one, leaving an impression of the singer’s gentleness.

But be careful! Their songs demand emotionally rich vocals in a high key.

With proper practice to strengthen your upper range beforehand, you should be able to deliver a performance that elevates the mood on the spot.

SOUL LOVEGLAY

GLAY is a four-member rock band that churned out hit songs during the heyday of the visual kei movement in the 1990s and continues to be highly active today.

Their 14th single, “SOUL LOVE,” which was used as the campaign song for Kanebo’s “Bronze Love ’98 Summer,” is said to have been written by TAKURO in just ten minutes.

The arrangement moves from a twin-lead-guitar intro into a refreshingly GLAY-like ensemble, and for those in their 40s—the generation that grew up with it—simply hearing it may bring a flood of memories.

It’s one of GLAY’s signature tracks, sure to boost your mood when it comes on as background music during a drive.

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, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? 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.

I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.

The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s 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 getting muffled.

If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.

When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.

And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!

Feelin’ great! 〜Nothing But Something〜DA PUMP

DA PUMP is a dance and vocal group that has been active for many years.

Early in their career they had a stylish vibe, but as they gained experience they gradually began tackling comic songs and the like, broadening both their musicality and their persona.

Their track “Gokigendaze! ~Nothing But Something~,” judging by the title alone, might seem like a comic song, but in reality it’s more of a then-contemporary R&B-style pop number, finished with a distinctly stylish feel.

SPARKTHE YELLOW MONKEY

This is a rock number by THE YELLOW MONKEY that sings of passionate love.

It paints a worldview where you close your eyes and share a space with the night, and within its sensual expressions lies a pure heart wishing for eternal love.

The energetic guitar riffs and rhythm section leave a strong impression, and Kazuya Yoshii’s distinctive vocals resound over the dynamic sound.

Released in July 1996, the song drew attention as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Handsome Man.” It was also included on the album “SICKS” and reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It’s a perfect song for enjoying karaoke with friends, full of a charm that lets everyone open their hearts and sing along.

Fujii Kaze’s “Hana” stands out for its laid-back vibe and comfortable groove.

Released in October 2023, it’s well-loved as the theme song for the drama “My Favorite Flower.” His relaxed vocal style is sure to enrich listeners’ emotions, and the gentle melody lends itself to a live feel that makes it a perfect pick for karaoke.

However, the falsetto parts raise the difficulty, so adjusting the key when you sing is recommended.

If expressed well, it can further highlight the charm of men in their 40s.

Give “Hana,” a memorable karaoke standout, a try.
