Recommended ballads for men (41–50)

Summer-colored FireworksSnow Man

“Natsuiro Hanabi” is sung alternately by the nine members of Snow Man with no overlapping parts, so it’s very easy to sing solo.

It’s a medium-tempo ballad that lets you breathe comfortably and sing with ease.

It’s highly recommended for those who want to sing at a relaxed tempo and feel good doing it.

The vocal range mainly sits around mid1 to mid2, so even if high notes aren’t your strength, you can sing it with confidence.

Ballads can be tricky to add dynamics to, and some people may end up singing them somewhat flatly.

In such cases, putting clear accents on slightly higher notes or at the beginnings of phrases will help create more contrast.

In “Natsuiro Hanabi,” the C-melody is the biggest highlight, so sing it with the feeling of projecting your voice far into the distance and enjoy yourself!

DISH// – Cat ~THE FIRST TAKE ver.~ / THE HOME TAKE
catDISH//

It’s a signature song by the band DISH//, whose vocalist is Takumi Kitamura, who’s also active as an actor, and the track was written by the singer-songwriter Aimyon.

Now that you mention it, you can definitely feel Aimyon’s touch in the atmosphere of the song and the tone of the lyrics.

The lyrics beautifully capture both the sunset scenery and the bittersweet lingering feelings for a loved one who has left.

It’s crafted as a so-called beautiful melody, and I think it’s very comfortable to sing.

KobukuroIma, sakihokoru hanatachi yo

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom
KobukuroIma, sakihokoru hanatachi yo

This is a song that was used as the theme for NHK’s Sochi Olympics in 2014.

Many of you are probably familiar with it.

Although it’s a song by Kobukuro, “Ima, Saki Hokoru Hanatachi yo” has a very clear vocal melody, making it easy to sing even solo.

As for how to feel the rhythm, taking it slowly and relaxed works well, but doubling the tempo also makes it easier to sing and is recommended.

The overall vocal range of the song is C3 to F#4, so most men should be able to sing it comfortably in chest voice.

Also, since it’s a ballad, creating contrast between the lower parts of the verses (A and B sections) and the lift in the chorus will enhance expressiveness and help boost your score.

Try to keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop while you sing!

balladKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi’s “Ballad” is a great song for a mellow, heartfelt vibe.

Both the lyrics and melody are lovely, and it’s perfect to sing when you want to calm things down after a lively karaoke session.

If you can sing it smoothly and stylishly, it might even boost your likability!

This is Kazuyoshi Saito’s love ballad “Utautai no Ballad.” The words “I love you” from a man who’s awkward and struggles to express his feelings resonate deeply.

It’s a masterpiece by Kazuyoshi Saito that conveys the deep love of a mature man for the person he loves.

Cherished across generations, it’s a song that makes you want to sing it at karaoke.

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!

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.
