drama “Kiken na Aneki.” Set over an up-tempo backing track, it’s a song that lets you fully enjoy Hirai’s light, breezy vocal performance.
To recreate this in karaoke, the key points are singing the high notes without straining and clearly enunciating the lyrics, which unfold at a slightly quick pace.

Someday Merry ChristmasB’z
Among B’z songs, the much-loved “Itsuka no Merry Christmas” is one we definitely want to hear men sing at karaoke! Many guys pick B’z when they want to get the crowd going, but when someone sings a ballad like this at karaoke, it really makes your heart skip a beat.
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!
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.
Winter,againGLAY
Winter, again, GLAY’s gift of a winter ballad, is one of their signature songs! It’s an especially great pick for those who listened to GLAY in real time back in the day, and it tends to go over really well with people who know the song.
The arrangement has a dynamic contrast between the chorus and the other parts, so if you can express that well when singing at karaoke, people will think, “You’re really good!” Also, the chorus in particular features some high notes, so sing it with plenty of energy!
