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!
Close your eyesHirai Ken
This is the 20th single by singer-songwriter Ken Hirai, who has released numerous classic songs featuring his soft and emotional vocals.
Written specifically as the theme song for the film “Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World,” it’s the kind of track that can move listeners to tears on the strength of Hirai’s voice alone, even if they haven’t seen the movie.
Its soulful yet crystal-clear high notes are captivating, and if you can sing it at karaoke, you’re sure to charm the women in the room.
Also, using edge voice like Ken Hirai does will add even more poignancy and sexiness, so try it if you can.
I miss you. I want to see you.Tezuka Shota
Singing solo karaoke gives you freedom, but when you go with someone, you want to look cool, right? This song is perfect for that! It was the theme song for the drama “Your Turn to Kill: Counterattack.” It powerfully conveys the protagonist’s painful longing—“I want to see you”—as he desperately searches for the truth after losing a lover he cherished more than anything.
A man who understands that feeling and can sing it through is pretty cool, if you ask me!
I’ve always liked you.Saitō Kazuyoshi
This signature song by Kazuyoshi Saito sings of straightforward, earnest love, and its lyrics—woven with evocative, nostalgic imagery—are a major draw that has moved many listeners.
The lively, rock ’n’ roll-tinged development of the track also makes it a very pleasant listen.
As the song builds toward the latter half, if you pour plenty of emotion into your singing, you’re sure to capture the audience’s hearts.
With its gentle atmosphere and high recognition, it’s a highly recommended song that will warm up and brighten the mood of any setting.
