[2026] Recommended for Karaoke Too! A Collection of Spring J-Pop Songs Sung by Male Artists

Flower SongTOKIO

Johnny’s Countdown 2017 Hanau­ta (Flower Song)

From running a band that writes and composes its own music to engaging in pro-level farming, TOKIO has consistently blazed its own trail with activities that transcend the idol mold.

This is their 25th single, used as the theme song for the TV drama “Nurseman,” starring member Masahiro Matsuoka.

Its pop melody set to a shuffle beat is an uplifting, danceable number.

The lyrics, which convey the message that the seasons continue to turn unchanged no matter what, may help steady the anxious feelings that arise before a new beginning.

It’s a spring song that boosts your spirits when you sing it—one that makes you want to join in chorus at karaoke.

March 9Remioromen

Remioromen – March 9th (Music Video Short ver.)

This is the third single by Remioromen, who announced a hiatus in 2012.

While it’s widely known as a graduation song—partly because it was used as an insert song in the TV drama “1 Litre of Tears” alongside their smash hit “Konayuki”—did you know it was actually written to celebrate a friend’s wedding? The lyrics, which express gratitude to a cherished person, convey a sense of dignity shared by both weddings and graduations.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to in spring, a season that symbolizes meetings and farewells, and it’s also a great choice for karaoke.

Before spring comesGōruden Bonbā

Haruga kuru maeni

Ahead of spring, when farewells and new encounters intersect, this poignant Golden Bomber ballad encapsulates memories and gratitude for loved ones.

Included on their best-of album “Golden Best ~Pressure~,” released in January 2010, its remastered version was also selected as the theme song for the film “Until Death Do the Two of Us Part…”.

With Sho Kiryuin’s delicate lyrics and composition resonating deeply, it is a gem that transcends the boundaries of their identity as a visual kei “air band.” Reflecting on bittersweet memories, it’s a song that gently stays close to the hearts of those facing a farewell to someone dear.

Spitz / Cherry

A refreshing, spring-breeze-like song that beautifully captures both the heartache and hope of love.

While cherishing past memories, the protagonist’s complex feelings as they try to face forward are gently wrapped in a tender melody.

Packed with the charm of Spitz, this masterpiece was released in April 1996 and reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

It’s also included on the album Indigo Chiheisen and has been featured in NTT East’s TV commercials since 2019.

It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone embarking on new encounters and farewells, taking a step toward the future.

Perfect for the spring season, its refreshing yet powerful message is sure to resonate.
