Recommended ballads for men (91–100)
The stars look beautiful in the sky.Saitō Kazuyoshi
A song released in 1996 that warmly wraps around your heart.
Many people may recognize it as the tune used in the Myojo Charumera commercial.
Its nostalgic lyrics charmingly depict the way we were when we were young, sharing our dreams.
The relaxed, unforced accompaniment feels like a gentle whisper—“Sometimes things just don’t go well”—making it a classic ballad that can lift your spirits and help you feel a little more positive when you’re feeling down.
Family SongHoshino Gen
Singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, whose diverse pop sensibilities and talents beyond music have earned him support from a wide range of listeners.
His 10th single, “Family Song,” was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Overprotected Kahoko,” and its intro featuring gentle strings is particularly memorable.
Although the tempo is relaxed, the melody is complex, so I recommend practicing thoroughly before singing it in front of others.
It’s a karaoke song you’ll want men to sing—one that makes you feel warm and kind when you listen.

In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen
When it comes to Gen Hoshino, many people picture him as someone who excels at upbeat, refreshing songs like his signature tracks “Koi” and “Idea,” but he actually has a lot of ballads that are truly moving as well.
“Kudaranai no Naka ni” is one I really hope people who don’t know it yet will discover.
Hoshino himself has called it the first love song he wrote head-on—a very gentle song about love.
If a guy sang a song like this to you, your opinion of him would instantly go up, wouldn’t it? (lol)
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
This is one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature songs that everyone has heard at least once.
Packed with a positive and powerful message, it gives courage to many listeners and empowers them to face life’s challenges.
Released in June 1991, the song became a massive hit, surpassing one million sales in just six months.
It was also selected as the entrance march for the 64th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in the spring of 1992, and it continues to be loved by people of all ages.
It’s the perfect song not only for those who want to sing it at karaoke, but also for anyone who needs encouragement or wants to live true to themselves.
Voice of the Seaurashima tarō (kiritani kenta)
It’s a love ballad sung by Kenta Kiritani as Urashima Taro from the au commercial series “Santaro.” The lyrics depict him singing while thinking of a loved one far away, and the sincerity packed into it is genuinely moving.
Adding to the song’s appeal is Kenta Kiritani’s unadorned vocal tone.
With no affected coolness or embellishment, his voice—just like the feelings expressed in the song—reaches listeners’ hearts directly.
It’s a popular track that’s become a karaoke staple.
My BooShimizu Shota
A simple rap-style ballad is also recommended.
Shota Shimizu’s “My Boo” is a love song from a male perspective, and there’s no doubt everyone can relate to its lyrics.
If you sing it gently, as if speaking to someone like Shota Shimizu does, it will create the right mood.
Be sure to sing this song at karaoke and move your audience.
I like you.Shimizu Shota

His signature R&B-style track is complemented by his smooth, sweet vocals that resonate beautifully.
The lyrics express feelings for a woman he’s fond of, and it’s well-loved as an unrequited love song.
Many listeners may find the words relatable.
In addition to the soaring vocal parts, there are rap-like sections as well, so it’s a bit challenging, but it’s a wonderful song that’s perfect for karaoke when you want to sing a ballad.
