Great songs recommended for men: classic and popular Japanese tracks that resonate with the heart (71–80)
Toward an eternal dreamDaikoku Maki
Released in 1994, this was Maki Ohguro’s first single to reach number one on the Oricon chart.
It is known for its long intro and was also used as the opening theme for COUNT DOWN TV.
Feathers of a question markKageyama Hironobu
This is a song used in the children’s quiz show Mushimaru Q, which aired on NHK Educational TV, and the singer is Hironobu Kageyama, known for performing many passionate anime songs.
Listening to it makes the dreams and hopes I had as a child come back to life.
CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
This is a renowned song that has continued to resonate with many as an anthem celebrating life’s new beginnings.
Originally released in September 1980 on the album “Kampai,” it vividly depicts a celebratory scene lit by candlelight and carries a warm message of encouragement for a friend taking their first step forward.
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s powerful vocals deliver hope and courage for the future.
In 1988, it was re-recorded and released as a single, becoming a major hit that reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
In the early 1990s, it was also featured in commercials for Kirin Lager Beer, further boosting its recognition.
To this day, it remains a timeless song passed down through the years, often chosen to convey heartfelt feelings to loved ones at important milestones in life, such as weddings and graduation ceremonies.
Your smile
It’s a love song filled with tenderness and poignancy, looking back on the memories built up with a cherished person.
The way it tries to somehow avoid a sad ending when the two are about to grow apart conveys the strength of its feelings.
The warm, gently unfolding sound and the softly conversational vocals layered together express single-hearted devotion.
Singing slowly and relaxed, as if delivering the words straight and true, is a key point in crafting the song’s world.
A more effortless, unforced singing style may better convey the emotions embedded in the song.
YokazeHentai Shinshi Kurabu
This is a song whose wistful vocals over a lo-fi beat really sink into your heart.
You can picture yourself in a car speeding down the highway at night, letting the wind rush in through the window as you try to blow away your daily worries and anxieties.
The balance between rap and singing by Hentai Shinshi Club is exquisite, crafting a story-like world with a mellow vibe.
Released in April 2020, it was included on the album “HERO” the same year, and it was also used as the walk-up music for Rakuten Eagles player Hideto Asamura.
It’s a warm, mature track you’ll want to listen to while driving, when spending time alone, or on a quiet night with someone special.
Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenKawashima Eigo
This is a socially conscious masterpiece that portrays the subtle miscommunications between men and women and the nuances of emotional expression with deep insight.
It warmly observes how men open up through drinking and women through tears, each revealing their inner feelings.
Born from impressions Eigo Kawashima had at age 18 during a family memorial gathering, the song was included on the November 1975 album “Jinrui” (Humanity) and released as a single in June 1976.
Also known as the jingle for the sake brand Kizakura, it became a major hit, reaching No.
9 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It is a gem I recommend to anyone who wants to face their heart honestly when confronted with life’s sorrow and poignancy.
Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band
The rock band Kai Band gained popularity with their catchy lyrics, thematic depth, and wide musical range.
They’ve produced many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is Uragiri no Machikado (Street Corner of Betrayal).
Among Kai Band’s tracks, this song has one of the narrowest vocal ranges.
Because of that, it’s very easy to sing even for people in their 60s who may struggle to hit higher notes.
At after-parties and karaoke, your throat can take a beating, so if you want something easier to sing, definitely give this one a try.
