Recommended ballads for men (81–90)
RainSEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 11th major-label single, released in July 2017.
It was written as the theme song for the animated film “Mary and The Witch’s Flower.” I felt it’s a fine piece that conjures up a refreshing sky after the rain.
The string arrangements you can hear throughout the track are lovely, too.
Fukase’s vocals have a slightly high-pitched quality, so some people might hesitate to pick this song at karaoke.
However, the vocal melody itself, like the overall mood of the song, is very gentle, easy to remember, and easy to sing, so please give it a try.
If you aim the resonance toward your upper palate inside your mouth as you sing, you may get a bit closer to his voice, which has a rich presence of higher overtones.
sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)SEKAI NO OWARI
An encouraging song from SEKAI NO OWARI for those striving toward their dreams.
This track served as the broadcast theme song for NHK’s coverage of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics and Paralympics.
In the music video, the story follows a younger brother dreaming of his future and an older brother who supports him.
Vocalist Fukase plays the older brother, while actor Ryunosuke Kamiki portrays the younger brother—a pairing that became a hot topic.
It’s a ballad that resonates with anyone working hard, regardless of age.
If you sing it at karaoke, you might end up encouraging someone without even realizing it!
sugarSaucy Dog
This is the seventh major-label digital single by Saucy Dog, a three-piece rock band gaining attention for lyrics that portray universal everyday life in a minimal style and for their high-tone vocals that carry that message.
The sound, featuring delicate acoustic guitar tones, is truly emotional.
The melody stays in a high range and includes leaps, which can make it feel challenging, but if you set it to a key that suits your voice, it’s easier to sing—so it’s great for karaoke, too.
With diary-like lyrics whose very casualness makes them precious and moving, this is a lyrical ballad you’ll want to keep on your radar as a go-to song.
fateTani Yuuki
Destiny portrays a fated encounter in a straightforward way.
The song was written by singer-songwriter Tani Yuuki for Ryota Katayose of GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE.
This time, I’d like to introduce Tani Yuuki’s self-cover version.
Compared to the original, this rendition delivers a more passionate vocal performance.
It’s fun to listen to both and compare.
Also, don’t miss the music video, which was filmed in exactly the same setting.
It’s a song that will make you want to sing it at karaoke.
SNOW SOUND[Alexandros]
![SNOW SOUND[Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e7GvXNOxhng/sddefault.jpg)
[Alexandros] is a four-piece rock band whose momentum has only grown since welcoming a new drummer in 2021 and launching a new lineup.
Their 14th single, “SNOW SOUND,” released as a double A-side with “Imamade Kimi ga Naita Bun Torimodosou” (“Let’s Make Up for All the Times You Cried”), was featured in JR East’s “JR SKISKI” commercial.
Its brisk, crystal-clear sound perfectly embodies the song’s title.
The chorus reaches quite a high register, so it’s not easy, but it’s a winter song men should add to their karaoke repertoire to brighten up the season.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number
The theme song of the drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love,” starring Kyoko Fukada.
back number’s songs are popular with many people regardless of gender, and lots of users are posting covers on social media! Since it was the theme for a heart-fluttering romance drama, it’s a song that, along with the story, makes you feel like you’re experiencing a bittersweet love yourself.
The A-melody is relatively low, but the rest is in a key that’s easy for women to sing, so it’s great to sing together with friends or your significant other!

not enoughwacci
“Tarina” (Not Enough), released by wacci in 2020, drew attention much like their breakup song “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend.” This track is also a farewell song that brings to mind the woman portrayed in “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend,” but it’s packed with even more lingering feelings.
After a breakup, you can still love the person so much you want to get back together, and it can be hard to switch your feelings off.
This song captures those real emotions in that moment, along with the bittersweet resolve of “I have to end this…” It’s a tear-jerking breakup song for anyone who has “just broken up and is hurting” or “can’t forget someone,” and one you’ll want to sing in those times.
