As suggested by the flower language of “wasurenagusa” (forget-me-not), this song centers on a man’s pure love, cherishing unforgettable memories of romance.
Interweaving deep love and bittersweet sorrow, the lyrics vividly portray both the light and shadow of love—such as the values we tend to lose sight of while chasing an ideal love, and the lingering attachment that remains after a breakup.
Included on the album “Grower,” released in February 2021, it also drew attention as a song inspired by the film We Made a Beautiful Bouquet.
This love story, sung over a gentle melody, is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever been in love.

The bittersweet lyrics and melody—reminiscing about a once-happy Christmas—tighten your chest, yet you can’t help but be drawn in.
If you get a chance to go to karaoke during Christmas or other winter events, this is an absolute must-sing track!

As the theme song for the exhilarating series “The Way of the Househusband,” it gained popularity along with its melody, and its straightforward message slips right into the listener’s heart.
Their captivating twin vocals not only enchant listeners but also make the act of taking on the song itself enjoyable.
If you can perform this track at karaoke, it might completely change the mood of the room.

Just… I want to see youEXILE
Tada…
Aitakute, practically synonymous with a “love-winning” song, is one of EXILE’s signature tracks, released in 2005.
It’s from the period when Shunsuke Kiyokiba was still in EXILE.
Many people probably think, “I really loved EXILE around this time!” The duo’s vocals are beautiful, and combined with the poignant lyrics, it remains a beloved ballad that resonates deeply.
It’s a masterpiece about a man’s lingering feelings, reflecting on a lover he’s parted from.
With its very romantic mood, it also makes a great ‘go-to’ song to sing in front of someone you like or are interested in!
road; way; path; street; route; Tao (in philosophy)EXILE
Among EXILE’s ballads, “Michi” (Road) is especially popular.
The lyrics make listeners feel nostalgic for the time when they first heard it and let them sink into their memories, which is part of the enjoyment.
Plus, from a woman’s perspective, someone who can sing EXILE’s ballads well scores high points.
“Michi” is easy to grasp in both rhythm and pitch; if you keep the verses soft and gentle and then sing the chorus with strength to create contrast, you can nail it perfectly—highly recommended.
If you have two or more male singers, it also works well to split the parts.
HOWEVERGLAY
Singing Japanese pop songs that were hits in the 1990s, the golden age of CD sales, is a great idea.
It’s nice because you can enjoy the nostalgia along with memories—like how that was your youth, or you had someone you liked back then.
When it comes to classic love songs women want men to sing, GLAY’s “HOWEVER” is a top pick.
It’s a song about two people who pledge eternal love, wrapping everything about their everyday life and each other’s gestures in love as they walk into the future together.
The final chorus has a high key and is difficult, but it could be wonderful to practice and sing it for your partner.
single-minded; wholehearted; devoted; earnestKing Gnu
To create an unforgettable night, you can’t overlook a playlist that shows your good taste.
That’s where King Gnu’s “Ichizu,” with its refined musicality, comes in.
Chosen as the theme song for the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, it’s earned passionate support from anime fans.
Sing this at karaoke and you’ll definitely showcase your passionate side.
However, to truly pull off this track—with its deep, immersive worldview—practice is essential.
Deliver it with supple finesse, and you’re sure to stir the heart of the girl next to you.
Energetic yet tinged with a certain wistfulness, this song might just guide you on the path to becoming a real lady-killer.
