Nameless PoemMr.Children
Mr.Children, popularly known as “Misuchiru,” have a massive hit song called “Namonaki Uta” (“A Nameless Song”).
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Pure,” so some men in their 40s who watched the show at the time may remember it.
The song features tongue-twister-like lyrics, and many people probably recall memorizing that part perfectly for karaoke.
Since Misuchiru are popular across generations, you can’t go wrong choosing this song for karaoke.
balladKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi’s “Ballad” is a song I’d love to see men in their 40s perform at karaoke.
While reviving a hit from their youth, its delicate, evolved lyrics convey the deep emotions that only adults can express.
True to its title, the ballad’s gentle melody is sure to resonate with women.
The bittersweet feelings of married men toward unmarried women stand out even more thanks to the quiet arrangement that demands strong vocal ability.
Even Ketsumeishi’s signature rap is elevated into something moving, turning a night of karaoke into something special.
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
When it comes to the signature song of the legendary singer-songwriter Yutaka Ozaki, who passed away at a young age, it has to be “I LOVE YOU.” It was released in 1991, but it was used in special footage for the 2014 film Hot Road and featured in commercials, so it’s a song that has likely reached younger generations as well.
It’s also a karaoke staple, making it perfect for anyone who wants to perform a moving ballad.
The falsetto is a key charm of the song, so definitely give it a try!
ZEROB’z
B’z’s “ZERO” has a cool sound that fuses hard rock and funk.
Even without a tie-in, it became a massive hit and sold over a million copies! Another highlight is the rare rap part for them in the middle of the song.
I think many men in their 40s have sung B’z at karaoke.
Among their tracks, this one doesn’t feel dated and seems likely to appeal to younger generations too, so it should get the crowd going if you pick it when you go to karaoke with junior coworkers.

back number is a rock band beloved across generations.
Their song “Velvet Poem” was chosen as the theme for the film Akira and Akira.
While they’re known for lyrics that often feature a hapless male protagonist, this track is an uplifting anthem with a powerful band sound and words that help you believe in the self you’ve worked so hard to become.
It’s also a great pick for men in their 40s who want to try a currently popular band song.
The key is relatively low and steady, so it should be easy to sing!

L’Arc~en~Ciel celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2021.
