White LoversKuwata Keisuke

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!

A wonderfully charming song by CHAGE and ASKA that, despite being a gently delivered ballad, topped the Oricon charts for two consecutive weeks.
You’ll be enchanted by the melody, grow to love it as you listen closely to the lyrics, and before long you’ll probably want to sing it yourself.

CITRUSDa-iCE
This is a song by the dance-vocal group Da-iCE, who began their activities in 2011.
Some of you might recognize it as the theme song for the 2020 drama “The Way of the Househusband.” I think the appeal of Da-iCE’s music lies in the impressive high tones delivered by their two vocalists.
In this track, you’ll hear plenty of falsetto phrases starting from the first verse, and the chorus features piercing high notes as well.
Beyond simply hitting high notes, it requires solid vocal technique, including smooth transitions between chest voice and falsetto—but if you can pull it off, it’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd.
Highly recommended as a ballad for those confident in their vocal skills.
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.
HOWEVERGLAY
GLAY is a four-piece rock band that enjoyed explosive popularity in the 1990s, racking up million sellers one after another, and even now, as legends, they continue to be highly active.
Their 12th single, HOWEVER, achieved GLAY’s first million sales despite having no tie-in at the time of its release, and it remains one of their signature songs, known across generations.
For those of that generation, it’s guaranteed to liven up any karaoke session, but be warned: the overall range is high, and as the song progresses it features large interval jumps.
It’s an immortal masterpiece that, if a man can sing it all the way through, will undoubtedly make him the star of the show.
