TSUNAMISazan Ōrusutāzu
Known as a masterpiece that likens the pain of heartbreak to a tsunami, this work is a moving love song celebrated as one of Southern All Stars’ signature pieces.
It’s a gem of a ballad that expresses the sorrow of losing someone dear through a grand melody, fully showcasing Keisuke Kuwata’s exceptional songwriting and composing talent.
Released in January 2000, it topped the Oricon weekly charts and won the Japan Record Award the same year.
It was also selected as the theme song for the popular segment “Mirai Nikki III” on the TV program “U-nan no Hontoko!,” becoming a classic beloved across generations.
As a heartwarming song that offers comfort to those carrying the pain of losing someone special, it’s also highly recommended for karaoke.
Knock Knockpirafu seijin
One of the most talked-about rappers in the current MC battle scene is Pilaf Seijin.
He has a lot of haters, but just as many fans, and his streaming numbers are exceptional for a rapper.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Knock Knock.
While it’s not a particularly low-range piece, the vocal line is simple, so even men with lower voices can sing it comfortably.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Be the soil that makes flowers bloom, rather than the flowers themselves.berii guddoman
A heartwarming message song that sings the value of those who support others and work hard behind the scenes.
Rather than glamorizing the people who shine on center stage, it brilliantly captures the spirit of those who keep supporting from the shadows.
Its lively sound—melding pop and R&B—stands out alongside a melodic progression.
Written by the three members of Beverly Goodman for broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” starting in December 2024, the song’s powerful energy and warm vocals resonate with everyone facing life head-on.
It’s a track meant for those who worry about going unnoticed at school or work, and for those who keep dedicating themselves to someone else.
Manchu-Han Imperial FeastRyukku to soine gohan
Ryucu to Soinen Gohan is a four-member co-ed band formed in 2017.
Their sound is rooted in J-pop and pop rock, and they’ve gained popularity for their catchy melodies.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Mankan Zenseki.
This track blends elements of Chinese pop with J-pop, featuring a calm vocal line with little dramatic rise and fall throughout.
There aren’t any parts that require belting, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Precious thingsroodo obu mejyaa
The debut single by Road of Major passionately sings of the bittersweetness and hope of youth.
Released in September 2002, it powerfully portrays the importance of bonds, the sadness of parting, and the determination to set out on a new journey, all carried by a driving, exhilarating melody.
An exceptional feat for an indie single, it spent 19 consecutive weeks in the Oricon Top 10 and sold over 900,000 copies.
It is one of the band’s signature songs and was even used in 2009 as the commercial theme for the Mazda Mazda3 in Taiwan.
While it’s by no means easy to nail at karaoke, its refreshing melody makes it the perfect track for honestly conveying your feelings to someone important.
bergamotTomonari Sora
When it comes to popular artists with deep voices, many people probably think of Sora Tomonari first.
Among Tomonari’s songs, the one I especially recommend as easy for men to sing is Bergamot.
The piece is primarily built around low and lower-mid ranges, with occasional higher phrases.
The pitch movement isn’t particularly drastic, and there’s no need to belt, so even when a slightly higher part appears, you should be able to glide through it smoothly.
Happy endingOhtaki Eiichi
As the theme song for a Fuji TV Monday 9 p.m.
drama, this is a gem of a love song that Eiichi Ohtaki released for the first time in 12 years.
Its gentle, heartwarming melody and lyrics that carefully weave the feelings of a woman in love blend beautifully, leading to a massive hit of 970,000 copies sold since its release in November 1997.
Used in Love Generation, the song also marked Ohtaki’s first-ever Top 10 entry as a solo artist, showcasing his rich musicality to the fullest.
Portraying a sweet yet bittersweet love story, this track is highly recommended for those harboring feelings for someone special or wishing for a happy future with a loved one.
