Songs Men Like: Classic and Popular Japanese Hits (21–30)
LuckySUPERCAR
SUPERCAR is a Japanese rock band formed in Aomori Prefecture in 1995.
They made their debut in 1997, becoming a key part of the “’97 generation.” Their second single released the same year, Lucky—featuring distinctive male-female twin vocals—is considered one of their signature songs.
sentimental journeyYU-KI
YUKI is a Japanese singer who was formerly the vocalist of JUDY AND MARY.
She began her solo career in 2002 and successfully performed at the Tokyo Dome in 2012.
The music video for Sentimental Journey features 90 Yukis moving in stop-motion, making it highly distinctive (it won the Gold Award at the New York ADC Exhibition).
FlowerFuji Kaze
For a song that lets a man showcase his appeal at karaoke, I recommend Fujii Kaze’s “Hana.” It has a stylish vibe, and there are plenty of parts where a lower voice can really shine.
The key changes in the chorus raise the difficulty, but if you practice and make that precision your own, you’re sure to captivate listeners.
It’s also the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Ichiban Suki na Hana,” so it’s very familiar and catchy.
Why not give it a try while making the most of your sense of rhythm?
Glass BoyKinKi Kids
This is KinKi Kids’ debut song.
It’s not only a classic that represents the ’90s, but their level of handsomeness is off the charts.
And it’s not just because it’s a Johnny’s song.
KinKi Kids are popular with men too, so they’re undeniably cool even from a male perspective.
With its heartrending melody line and a world that likens the pain of heartbreak to glass, it captivates listeners.
I want to hug you.Mr.Children
Packed with a moving melody and a bittersweet yearning for love, “Dakishimetai” is a song that makes women’s hearts skip a beat.
It’s one of Mr.Children’s signature works and enjoys strong support at karaoke.
Its warm expression of love for everyone in love feels pleasant, and the tender vocals have the power to make listeners feel happy.
When a man is unsure what to sing during karaoke with a woman, this is a safe, highly recommended choice.
It’s a charming number that brings lovers’ hearts closer together.
Old-fashionedback number
A back number song known for its poignant lyrics and melody.
This piece is a gem of a love ballad written as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “A Major Love: With You Who Forget Me.” The lyrics, which depict being saved by someone’s presence and learning to affirm yourself, evoke a deep sense of love and nostalgia.
Upon its release on November 21, 2018, it became an immediate hit, capturing many hearts as a song that resonated with the drama’s worldview.
This classic, which sings of cherishing someone dear, is perfect for reflecting on memories with a partner or expressing your feelings to them.
The warm yet powerful message woven by back number is sure to give you courage.
Asymmetrynaniwa danshi
With the recent boom of K-POP and the like, I think it’s become more common for guys to sing idol songs even at karaoke with just men.
One track I recommend is Naniwa Danshi’s “Asymmetric.” Naniwa Danshi have always excelled at a more orthodox musical style, and this song in particular is crafted with an extremely catchy melody reminiscent of Arashi in the mid-Heisei era, so it’s sure to get everyone hyped.
The phrase right before the chorus is a bit distinctive, so be mindful of the sudden pitch changes there and prepare to handle them.
