Songs Men Like: Classic and Popular Japanese Hits (61–70)
Summer Colorsyuzu
When I think of refreshing songs that men can sing, Yuzu’s tracks come to mind.
Their bright, poppy, refreshing melodies pair beautifully with the duo’s pleasant vocals.
Even from a female perspective, I think few people find Yuzu’s songs hard to get into.
Among their tracks, the most popular “Natsuiro” is one that almost everyone knows, and its upbeat vibe makes it easy to groove to, so I recommend it.
If a man is going to sing it, the key is quite high, so lowering it a bit in the settings might make it easier to sing.
Like tonight’s moonElefanto Kashimashi
This is the 15th single by Elephant Kashimashi, a four-piece rock band with a loyal following thanks to their distinctive sound that incorporates various styles such as alternative rock and industrial rock.
The song was produced as the theme for the TV drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara” (“Because It’s a Moonlit Night”) and is also known for bringing Elephant Kashimashi to a wider audience.
Its lyrical melody exudes a masculine appeal, which may make many women want to hear men sing it.
However, because it features large melodic leaps, be sure to practice so you don’t go off-pitch before tackling it at karaoke.
balladKetsumeishi
When it comes to classic love songs popular among women, Ketsumeishi’s “Ballad” stands out.
The music video centers on the theme of an unattainable love story, making it especially beloved not only by women nursing a crush, but also by those carrying feelings they know will never be fulfilled.
Precisely because of its bittersweet theme, the lyrics—expressing straightforward affection for someone precious—resonate deeply.
It’s a quintessential love ballad that makes women think, “I want to be loved like this,” so it’s definitely one to keep in mind.
Midsummer FruitSazan Ōrusutāzu
At summer karaoke, high-energy party anthems are great, but ballads like this one are also highly recommended.
Songs by artists who can project a masculine allure—like Keisuke Kuwata—are especially good picks! Plenty of women love husky or deep voices.
This song is beloved across generations and has even been covered by younger artists, so its name recognition is outstanding.
When you’re at karaoke, read the room and save it for the perfect moment to really make an impression.
SaudadePorunogurafiti
If you’re looking for an upbeat, hype track, I recommend Porno Graffitti’s “Saudade”! It’s a love song, but it emphasizes so much coolness that even guys who aren’t into love songs can sing it without feeling awkward.
It starts with the chorus, so it has impact.
The tempo is pretty fast, so it takes practice to get used to, but once you can sing it through, it feels great.
Just a heads-up: a lot of women also like to sing this one.
One Lovearashi
This is the 22nd single by Arashi, a five-member idol group so immensely popular they’re often called a national phenomenon, which went on hiatus in 2020.
The song was used as the theme for the film Hana Yori Dango F, starring group member Jun Matsumoto, and is also famous as a quintessential Heisei-era wedding song.
With lyrics expressing straightforward love from a man to a woman and a catchy, beautiful melody, many women likely feel it’s a song they’d love to hear men sing at karaoke.
Since there are few sections with difficult pitch or melody, it’s definitely a number you should add to your karaoke repertoire.
#302Hirai Ken
Ken Hirai, one of Japan’s most outstanding male vocalists.
When it comes to singing heartrending love songs, no one can beat him! “#302” is a track that portrays a poignant love story set in a karaoke room.
The song unfolds alongside the narrative.
The depictions of the scenery and atmosphere surrounding the two are so vivid that you’re drawn into the world of the song from the very first lines.
In contrast, the protagonist’s candid feelings are expressed in simple words, which makes them feel all the more human.
Because the song is set in a karaoke setting, you might find your heart skipping a beat if someone sings it!
