Songs men like: Japanese classics and popular tracks (101–110)
Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi
A song that many women, regardless of age, want to hear sung is The Ballad of a Singer.
In the lyrics, a man sings while thinking of the person he loves.
The honest feelings expressed—how he can say what he normally can’t when he puts it into a song—really resonate with women.
It’s the kind of song that makes you think, “I want someone to feel this way about me!” If you’re a man going to karaoke with the woman you like, why not give it a try? It’s a ballad, so it’s easy to learn, and it might just get your feelings across!
In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s “Kudaranai no Naka ni” is one of the ballads I’d love to hear men sing.
What is true love, really…? The answer is packed into this song.
I imagine many women would be happy to hear a man considering marriage sing it.
The lyrics are deeply moving and extremely gentle, so it’s sure to leave a great impression on women! The accompaniment is very quiet, so it takes a bit of courage to sing, but if you can carry it through, you’ll definitely look incredibly cool! Highly recommended for solo acoustic performance, too!
In the Great Sky and on the Vast EarthMatsuyama Chiharu
Chiharu Matsuyama, well-known as an original beautiful-voiced singer.
“In the Great Sky and Land” is one of his signature songs! Released in 1977, it’s now a popular staple for men to sing at karaoke.
The song’s charm, above all, lies in its lyrics.
Surrounded by Hokkaido’s vast nature, the philosophy of life Matsuyama cultivated there is packed into the song.
If you sing it while honoring the lyrics, you might just become a man of real depth.
It’s a sure bet when you want to please older folks at karaoke bars or snack bars!
My BooShimizu Shota
Shota Shimizu’s love ballad “My Boo” is a heartfelt song that resonates with women, showcasing his single-minded devotion.
Since everything except the chorus is rap, it’s an easy pick for men, too.
Some women might say they’re not into rap, but it’s not a fast, machine-gun style—and in this song, the rap sections actually make the chorus hit even harder, so no worries! There’s also an answer song, “Dear My Boo,” sung by Mirei Toyama, so it would be lovely for couples to sing them to each other.
Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
I think many women like love ballads with a masculine vibe.
When a man clearly expresses his feelings and affection, he comes across as straightforward and attractive, doesn’t he? “Junrenka” by Shonan no Kaze is a song with strikingly manly lyrics.
It’s a wonderful love ballad that captures the heart of a man who, after finding a girlfriend, has stopped drifting around and, for the first time, can focus solely on her, overflowing with love.
It features rap-style sections, and aside from the chorus the key isn’t that high, so it’s one of the easier songs for men to sing and comes highly recommended.

dearestFukuyama Masaharu
When it comes to artists I want men to sing, Masaharu Fukuyama is a must.
Among his songs, ‘Saiai’ is a sorrowful love song reflecting on past relationships, but his rich voice, as if weaving each word, draws you in.
Its relaxed tempo makes it easy to follow the lyrics, letting you immerse yourself in the world of the song.
Listening to sad songs while you’re in a relationship can make you feel even more determined to cherish your partner, so it might be nice to intentionally sing it when you’re at karaoke with your girlfriend.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
One of Motohiro Hata’s signature songs was chosen as the theme song for STAND BY ME Doraemon.
Even if you don’t know the whole song, plenty of people have at least heard the chorus! The lyrics seem to reflect the relationship between Doraemon and Nobita.
It’s a widely recognized and popular song among both children and adults, so at karaoke I hope men will sing it with a gentle, caring feeling.
