Recommended ballads for men (71–80)
Where love callsPorunogurafiti
A song with a slow tempo that moves forward step by step, at a pace like your own stride, yet delivers an impressively compelling message.
Porno Graffitti have many great songs, but among them this one feels especially true to their style in both melody and lyrics.
It also has a vibe that makes it easy to sing at karaoke, so I recommend it.
YC&K
It’s a beautiful ballad by a male vocal duo.
The lyrics, which tell a heartrending and sorrowful story, are striking, yet they carry a very deep and sincere love.
The two vocalists sing in a very high range, so men confident in their high notes will definitely want to try singing this song.
So please give it a try!
Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN
A song by BUMP OF CHICKEN used as the theme for the 2011 film Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Winged Angels.
Doraemon movies are famous for being masterpieces that even adults can cry to, and the songs always fit the works perfectly and are truly wonderful, aren’t they? As Fujiwara has publicly said it’s “Nobita’s song,” you can catch glimpses of Nobita’s kindness and inner strength.
With its very gentle melody and lyrics, you may find yourself moved to tears as you listen.
Highly recommended for men looking for an emotional ballad!
Name of the FlowerBUMP OF CHICKEN
A rock band that every boy and girl has fallen for at least once—BUMP OF CHICKEN.
Here is one of their finest ballads.
With Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle, slightly raspy vocals, the song features a grand chorus melody paired with intimate, human lyrics that feel close to the heart.
If you can sing it with conviction, it just might steal the show.
Give it a try at karaoke!
COLORSGLAY
A rock ballad recommended for men is GLAY’s “COLORS.” It features a sound that embodies GLAY’s signature beauty and warm lyrics.
Centered on the bond between a father and child, this song lets you express things that might feel too embarrassing to say normally by conveying them through the music.
If you channel TERU and sing it in a high tone, it’ll be an absolute crowd-pleaser.
Love SongGReeeeN
GReeeeN has many great songs, but when it comes to a popular ballad known by everyone from younger listeners to adults, it has to be “Ai Uta”! Since its release in 2007, it’s been featured in various TV shows and commercials and loved for many years.
Sung from a male perspective with straightforward affection, it’s a song many men probably keep as their go-to at karaoke.
As a woman, it’s also a love song you’d want your partner to sing at least once! Though it’s a love song, it has a catchy, bright vibe, making it an easy one to sing at karaoke.
broad daylightKing Gnu
King Gnu is a four-piece crossover band that continues to dominate the J-pop scene, drawing attention for their high musicality and performance skills while never ceasing to evolve.
Their second digital single, “Hakujitsu,” was written as the theme song for the TV drama Innocence: False Accusation Lawyer and is the track that brought the King Gnu name to widespread recognition.
With its intricate melody and rhythm and dual vocals, it requires considerable practice to sing at karaoke.
Precisely because of that, if you can pull it off, it’s sure to earn you instant respect—a modern ballad well worth the challenge.
