Its tie-in with the TBS TV program “U-nan no Hontoko!” also became a hot topic.
Listening to this song, you can’t help but feel the poignancy of love and the transience of life.

Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Ito” was covered by Bank Band, led by Kazutoshi Sakurai.
In recent years, the song was adapted into a film starring Masaki Suda and Nana Komatsu, which became a hot topic! Why not perform this timeless hit—now beloved by younger generations as well—at karaoke? If you’re a man in your 40s, approaching the midpoint of life, you might be able to sing it while savoring the song’s depth and meaning.

My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
An undisputed classic of the Showa era.
Released in March 1979 as Southern All Stars’ third single, this song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Fuzoroi no Ringo-tachi” and has since been re-released multiple times—a truly legendary Japanese rock/pop ballad.
Until this point, the band had a hot, powerful, and comical image, so the sudden shift to a heartbreaking slow ballad became quite the talk of the time—some of you may remember that.
If you fully immerse yourself in the song’s world when you sing it, it will surely resonate with whoever is listening.
JAMTHE YELLOW MONKEY
THE YELLOW MONKEY’s “JAM,” with its biting social satire, strikes a chord with everyone.
When the song was released, many men in their 40s were likely moved by its one-of-a-kind visuals and vocals and its distinctive lyrics.
The key isn’t too high, making it a karaoke favorite across generations.
Especially now, with global affairs on shaky ground, why not sing this song and let out your pent-up feelings? Try mastering the rapid-fire spoken lines in the song, too!
Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi
Kazuyoshi Saito’s ballad, aptly titled “Utautai no Ballad,” is a masterpiece that has been covered by many artists since its release in 1997.
The fact that other artists want to sing it means it’s a great song no matter who performs it.
The lyrics are wonderful, and simply following them as you listen can sweep you up in a wave of emotion.
When singing it at karaoke, be careful not to get too self-absorbed—sing it sincerely.
If you keep that in mind, it’s a song that will undoubtedly get through to people.
karmaBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Karma” captivates with its philosophical lyrics.
It was used as the theme song for the video game Tales of the Abyss and as the opening theme for the TV anime adaptation, and its lyrics deeply connect with the game’s worldview.
BUMP’s songs aren’t that high in key, so they’re recommended even for those who struggle with the high ranges of recent tracks.
On top of that, many of their songs remain timeless even now, so you can’t go wrong picking BUMP—this song included—at karaoke.
They’re a must-listen artist!
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS
Precisely because we’re living in stifling times, I want you to listen to—and sing—THE BLUE HEARTS’ “A Rose of Passion.” The intense band sound stands out, but the contrast with its beautiful lyrics makes it an incredibly cool classic.
It’s guaranteed to resonate with men in their 40s who are just on the edge of the THE BLUE HEARTS generation, too! If you’re into bands or often hit karaoke with friends, definitely add this to your list.
The key is stable, so it’s also great for those who struggle with high-pitched songs.
