Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya57rank/position

Where Our Blue Is / Tatsuya Kitani

Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, also known as a Vocaloid producer and bassist.

Selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death, this track was released in July 2023 as the title song of his third EP.

Its lyrics poignantly capture the bittersweet shift in a once carefree friendship, while celebrating the lingering glow of youth that stays in the heart.

The piercing high-tone vocals and driving ensemble make it perfect not only for anime-loving kids, but also for anyone confident in their karaoke chops.

A must-hear rock tune that received a Special Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards.

To You by MONGOL800

Among people in their 40s, those in the early half may be more familiar with Japanese rock.

In particular, I think many were fans of MONGOL800.

With that in mind, I recommend their song “Anata ni.” The vocal range for this track is quite narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.

While mid1 D is slightly low and doesn’t leave much room to lower the key, men with naturally low voices will likely find the original key comfortably singable, so it shouldn’t be a major issue.

The pitch stays fairly consistent, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

TRUE LOVEFujii Fumiya59rank/position

TRUE LOVE / Fumiya Fujii

When it comes to Fumiya Fujii’s signature songs, TRUE LOVE is the one.

The beautiful tone of the acoustic guitar pairs perfectly with his sultry vocals, drawing you into the world of the song from the very first notes of the intro.

It was also used as the theme song for a hit drama, so any man in his 40s probably knows it and has likely sung it at karaoke at least once.

With its relaxed melody, it’s a great song to pour your feelings into when you sing.

Try singing it while reminiscing about when this song was all the rage.

Butter-FlyWada Kōji60rank/position

Butter-Fly / Koji Wada [Animelo Summer Live 2014 -ONENESS- Day 1]

Released in April 1999 as Koji Wada’s debut single, this song is widely known as the opening theme of a TV anime.

Sung with his uniquely raspy voice, it’s a classic that gives you the courage to keep challenging yourself toward your dreams.

The lyrics convey a strong determination to overcome setbacks and disappointment and move forward with hope.

If you’re in your 30s, this song might bring back memories of your youth.

And at karaoke, it’s sure to get everyone pumped when you sing it together with friends!

Broken RadioTokunaga Hideaki61rank/position

Hideaki Tokunaga – The Broken Radio

This is the 10th single by singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga, who has sung numerous hit songs and covers with his sweet high-tone voice.

The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Tokai no Mori,” in which Tokunaga himself also appeared as an actor, and it’s well known as one of his signature tracks.

Because it’s a song everyone knows, it’ll likely save you when choosing tracks for karaoke—not only with people in their 50s but also with younger generations.

However, since it’s a high-pitched song, we recommend adjusting the key to suit your voice when singing at karaoke.

GO!!!FLOW63rank/position

FLOW “GO!!!” Music Video (TV Anime “NARUTO” Opening Theme)

FLOW is a five-member rock band that gained popularity in the 2000s.

Their bright and exhilarating musical style is striking, and GO!!! showcases the appeal of FLOW particularly well.

The song was used as the fourth opening theme for the popular anime NARUTO and became a hit.

Although it’s uptempo, the vocal range is relatively narrow—mid1 G# to mid2 G#—so it’s easy to sing.

It’s a big crowd-pleaser among Naruto fans, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
