flower burialL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
L’Arc~en~Ciel celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2021.
The song “Kasou (Funeral of Flowers)” was released in 1998 and became a hot topic as one of three singles released simultaneously alongside “HONEY” and “Shinsoku ~lose control~.” It’s a highly popular number among L’Arc fans, and many people in their 40s have surely heard it—and likely sung it as well.
With its title and lyrics, it’s a mid-tempo track that exudes a unique atmosphere; if you pour your emotions into singing it, it’s a song that draws anyone in.
One Lovearashi
A timeless karaoke staple with unwavering popularity, “One Love” is a masterpiece closely tied to moving, heartfelt moments.
Centered on marriage, its lyrics seem to speak for the feelings of many men who talk about love, while also enjoying strong support from female listeners.
The warm melody woven by Arashi’s harmonies, when performed at karaoke by a man in his 40s, evokes memories of youth and conveys a gentle thoughtfulness toward one’s partner.
Its easy-to-carry tune is another draw, sure to leave a fresh, uplifting impression.
Share a phrase that lingers in the heart.
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.
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.
One more time,One more chanceYamazaki Masayoshi
Here is a ballad performed solo by Masayoshi Yamazaki—an artist especially popular among men in their forties—released in 1997.
It was also the theme song for his own starring film, Moon and Cabbage, and has been covered by many other artists, so it’s likely a song everyone has heard at least once.
When it comes to karaoke, it’s best to choose a well-known song that suits you, and the earnest lyrics about longing for the memory of a woman after a breakup are likely to leave a good impression on women as well.
Velvet Poemback number
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!
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!
