Takihara Pistol’s classic “Forever Young,” released as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s drama “Byplayers: What if 6 Famous Supporting Actors Lived Together?,” is memorable for its moving lyrics themed around “who we were back then” and its straightforward yet somewhat wistful melody.

The song is also easy to sing, with no particularly challenging parts aside from the long note before the chorus.

That said, it does call for power, so it’s recommended for people with a rich or slightly raspy voice.

DA PUMP / Feeling Great! ~Nothing But Something~ (short ver.)
Feelin’ great! 〜Nothing But Something〜DA PUMP

DA PUMP is a dance and vocal group that has been active for many years.

Early in their career they had a stylish vibe, but as they gained experience they gradually began tackling comic songs and the like, broadening both their musicality and their persona.

Their track “Gokigendaze! ~Nothing But Something~,” judging by the title alone, might seem like a comic song, but in reality it’s more of a then-contemporary R&B-style pop number, finished with a distinctly stylish feel.

The four-member rock band DISH//.

While they’re a band, they also have idol-like popularity and enjoy tremendous support from women.

Among DISH//’s songs, the one I especially recommend to men in their 30s is Gohan.

DISH// tend to have many glittery, female-friendly tracks, but this one is crafted with a slightly grittier, earthier melody.

Kitamura Takumi’s vocals may make that less obvious, but if you’re a man in your 30s, wouldn’t you be able to bring out that grittiness even more?

The famous song “Seishun Amigo,” known as the theme for the popular drama Nobuta wo Produce, is sung by the duo Shuuji to Akira—Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi.

It features a passionate melody with a slight kayōkyoku flavor, yet it also carries a certain laid-back, Heisei-era nonchalance that leaves an impression.

Although falsetto appears, the overall range is narrow, so even men in their 30s can sing it comfortably while reminiscing.

Yume YumeONE OK ROCK

I think ONE OK ROCK is the band that every guy dreams of.

I’m always thinking, “If I’m going to do a band, I want to do ONE OK ROCK!” but the reality is it’s hard to find someone who can sing their keys…

That said, this time with “Yume Yume,” the vocal range is E3–C5, and there aren’t a lot of repeated high notes, so I think more people will be able to sing it.

However, it has more rap parts than singing… You might struggle with the rap sections when learning it! Try changing the playback speed on YouTube and practice by following the lyrics slowly.

If you can sing it, it should go over really well at karaoke, so it’s nice to have at least one ONE OK ROCK song in your repertoire!

When it comes to Porno Graffitti’s go-to hype song, doesn’t “Saudade” come to mind? The overall vocal range of the song is G3–G#4, so it’s quite narrow.

However, as anyone who knows the song will sense, the tricky parts are the high notes and the speed of the lyrics.

The chorus is relatively easy to sing calmly, but in the A and B sections, if you haven’t memorized the lyrics, you’ll struggle to keep up with the tempo and get left behind.

Also, the key gradually rises, so your stamina will be tested.

For the fast lyrical parts, try not to articulate every word crisply; instead, aim to let the words flow smoothly along the melody.

In the final chorus, the song modulates and the key goes up even further.

If you pull your voice backward while singing, it may crack, so try to project forward with a clean attack.

It’s also important to keep your core (tanden) engaged at all times.

Plant your feet and sing it out!

This is one of Masaki Suda’s signature rock songs, written and composed by Huwie Ishizaki.

The melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, so I think anyone can sing it.

I love this song too and always sing it four keys higher, and it’s more than enough to get the crowd going! The intro is cool right from the start, so it’s guaranteed to hype everyone up there.

Many people have probably heard the chorus as well, so people around you are likely to sing along! As for tricky parts, I’d say the end of the second chorus and the last chorus, where the high G#4 notes keep coming.

It’s kind of heartbreaking if you don’t nail that part, so let’s make it sound awesome! Take a solid breath and resonate the sound inside your mouth.

Try singing as if you’re shooting a beam from your mouth, vibrating the inside as you sing.

Also, to make matters worse, the lyrics there use the harder-to-pronounce “na” and “ma” lines in Japanese, so be conscious of projecting more strongly than you think you need to!
