powder snowRemioromen
When it comes to classic winter songs, Remioromen’s “Konayuki” is almost guaranteed to come up—a hugely famous masterpiece.
It was also used as an insert song in the moving drama “1 Litre of Tears” starring Erika Sawajiri, making it a favorite among many women.
There are probably still many people who feel tears welling up when they hear this song.
The chorus is quite high, but even if your voice gets a bit raspy, as a woman it’s the kind of song you want to try singing at karaoke in the original key at least once.
If you get shy you’ll end up singing softly, so go for it and sing it all the way through!
Turning Uparashi
A single released exclusively for streaming by Arashi.
It’s a big step forward for Johnny’s, isn’t it? But more than that, this song—arguably their crowning achievement—captures the 20 years of five men who were loved by the nation and by their fans.
So! I want men to sing it! I want to hear it performed as Arashi.
I hope they’ll show that they’re loved by men as well.
Because it won’t reach / Because it doesn’t reachHirai Ken
This song, which was the theme for the film “50 First Kisses,” really resonates with the candid feelings of a man, doesn’t it? If someone were to sing such a gentle piece with a beautiful falsetto like Ken Hirai’s, I’d be at a loss for words.
I’d love for you to slip it in at karaoke right after a high-energy number.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
Released in 1991, it’s one of Makihara’s signature songs.
It’s also a karaoke staple and leaves a good impression regardless of gender.
A pop song about the importance of not giving up on your beliefs and dreams.
It encourages you to stay positive, and there aren’t many songs that deliver that message so refreshingly and without sounding preachy.
People generally resist being told to “hang in there,” but when someone says, “At any time, it’s good if you can cherish what you love,” you can’t help but think, yeah, that’s true.

They’re hitmakers who portray men’s feelings so well.
That relatable vibe probably captivates both men and women.
All their works charmingly tug at the heart with a slightly timid male perspective.
As expected, having a herbivorous man sing them earnestly might make them feel even more heartfelt.
Playback Part 2Yamaguchi Momoe
Many people probably have Momoe Yamaguchi’s “Playback” as a staple karaoke song.
This famous, widely known track has also been covered by male artists, so it’s a song I’d love men to try singing at karaoke as well.

All or NothingB’z
This song is by B’z, one of Japan’s leading artists.
It’s also well-known as the theme song for the drama “Buzzer Beat.” They have numerous hit songs, and this one, which pairs perfectly with the drama, is really cool—so it’s also popular as a song that women want men to sing at karaoke!
