Robinsonsupittsu

Spitz’s “Robinson” is marked by a beautifully nostalgic melody.

Many people may have first discovered Spitz through this song.

It’s a masterpiece that lets you savor the unique lyrical world woven by vocalist Masamune Kusano.

Loved across generations, Spitz’s songs are karaoke staples! In particular, men in their 40s might really enjoy singing it while reminiscing about those days.

Since the key rises toward the end of the chorus, if you’re not comfortable with high notes, try lowering the key from the start.

Hata Motohiro’s single Uroko, released in June 2007, is a poignant yet powerful love song that portrays the anxieties and conflicts of romance.

The protagonist compares his own weaknesses to “scales” and resolves to cast them off, mustering the courage to convey his feelings—an impression that lingers.

This is one of the songs Hata has performed most frequently, and it’s said to be sung with various interpretations at his live shows.

If you’ve ever struggled to express your feelings while harboring a crush, this song will surely give you a gentle push.

It’s a track that makes you want to take that brave first step.

All of the YouthFujifaburikku (Fujifabric)

This is a refreshingly stylish song that lets you present your best self—highly recommended.

Said to have been created with the fireworks at Lake Kawaguchi in mind, it was written by Fujifabric’s Masahiko Shimura, who sadly passed away in 2009, and you can sense influences from Tamio Okuda and The Beatles.

The covers by other artists, including Bank Band, are wonderful as well.

It was also featured as the theme song for a 2018 LINE Mobile commercial, and it often becomes a topic of conversation.

Stairs of quiet daysDragon Ash

“Shizukana Hibi no Kaidan o” is guaranteed to captivate listeners when a man in his 40s performs it at karaoke—especially resonating with women of the same generation.

Carrying both the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth as expressed by Dragon Ash, this song distills their musical essence.

Rhythmic yet melodic, its deeply resonant tune has the power to summon poignant memories.

Dragon Ash’s music transcends time, continuing to be loved by many and commanding presence at karaoke.

Why not add this track—where beautiful melody and lyrics intertwine—to your repertoire? It’s sure to make for a night that enchants everyone around you.

Powder Snow – Remioromen (Full)

On cold winter days or snowy days, the winter song you’ll want to listen to is probably Remioromen’s “Konayuki.” The way the vocals build as it approaches the chorus is really memorable! It’s also a popular karaoke song, so you can’t go wrong picking this timeless track even now.

Since the key suddenly jumps higher in the chorus, that part can be tricky to sing.

If you’re not confident with high notes, I recommend lowering the key from the start.

Give it a try!

Official HIGE DANDism’s “I LOVE…” sings of universal love.

Chosen as the theme song for the heart-fluttering drama “Love Lasts Forever,” it also became a massive hit.

It’s a masterpiece that lets you immerse yourself in HIGEDAN’s uniquely lyrical world and gently stays by the listener’s side.

The key is on the higher side, so it might be a bit challenging for men to sing at karaoke.

If you want to try singing a trendy HIGEDAN song, we recommend adjusting the key to suit your voice.

TRUE LOVEFujii Fumiya

A song with the warm tone of an acoustic guitar and Fumiya Fujii’s sweet, resonant vocals.

Its very simple sound conveys, just as the title suggests, the message that true love needs no unnecessary adornment.

Released in 1993 as the second single under Fujii’s solo name, it remains a staple wedding song to this day.

It’s a ballad that brims with emotion, expressing both the manly spirit of the leader who once fronted the era-defining band The Checkers and a delicate sensitivity.

It’s perfect for evoking the refined allure of someone who has journeyed through the times.
