Songs men like. Classic and popular Japanese songs.

Somewhere other than hereGLAY

GLAY / To Somewhere, Not Here

If the men present are in their 30s, GLAY is a safe choice.

TERU’s high-tone voice is tough for men to sing at karaoke and is actually in a key that’s easier for women.

That said, the guys generally know the songs well, so they’ll likely sing along here and there.

Among GLAY’s tracks, the absence of shouty parts and the fact that the lyrics aren’t full-on romance make them easier to sing without feeling self-conscious.

bouquetback number

back number – Bouquet (Short ver.)

This is the song that cemented the popularity of the band back number, who enjoy strong support especially from women.

It’s a song about feelings toward a lover, and because it’s easy for women to relate to, it would likely make them happy if you sing it at karaoke.

If you’re a man, why not give it a try?

I love this townYamamoto Masayuki

I Love This Town: PSG Version

It’s the theme song from “Kono Machi Daisuki,” which aired on NHK Educational TV, sung by Masayuki Yamamoto.

Many people probably remember hearing it as children.

While it seems to sing about the neighborhood, it’s actually a grand song that expands from the past to the future and out into the wider world.

Love SongShonan no Kaze

This song shows a man’s vulnerability.

He may get timid, and dreams might not match reality, but it still carries a strong message: let’s keep pushing forward! It’s a track that resonates not only with men but also with women.

You might find it especially moving if it’s sung by a man who normally never shows any weakness.

A life-sized love songAqua Timez

I think it’s very important for a man to honestly express his feelings to his partner in order to build a long-lasting relationship.

Women also want to choose a partner who is honest and trustworthy, right? As a song that highlights a sincere man, how about Aqua Timez’s “Tōshindai no Love Song” (Love Song at Face Value)? The lyrics portray a clumsy man who approaches his lover without pretense, just as he is, which leaves a good impression.

If a man earnestly sings this song, it might just make a woman’s heart skip a beat.

Someday Merry ChristmasB’z

Itsuka No Merry Christmas

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!

Man and WomanCHAGE and ASKA

Man and Woman

Masterpieces that move and inspire us always feel fresh whether we listen to them or sing them, and among CHAGE & ASKA’s signature songs, “Otoko to Onna” (“Man and Woman”) is a track brimming with profound, deep allure.

It’s the perfect mature karaoke song for men in their thirties, who have grown more refined and cool with a touch of rugged charm.
