BoyhoodInoue Yosui50rank/position
The timeless classic “Shonen Jidai,” beloved across generations, is a song released by Yosui Inoue in 1990 as the theme for a film of the same name.
Commissioned directly by Fujiko Fujio A, the author of the original work, “Shonen Jidai” features a simple yet moving piano tone, along with a melody and lyrics that evoke a deep sense of Japanese nostalgia.
It’s truly remarkable, and its fame and popularity are such that it would be no exaggeration to call it a national song—indeed, it has even been included in junior high and high school music textbooks.
For those in their 50s as of 2023, 1990 would have been their late teens to twenties.
True to its title, it’s a song you’ll want to sing while recalling your own boyhood days—perhaps at a gathering with your elementary or junior high school classmates.

A popular song by KANA-BOON, known for performing many tie-in tracks.
With vocals and relatable, down-to-earth lyrics, this KANA-BOON number evokes youthful days.
As it reflects on the passage of time from an innocent childhood, it serves as an encouraging anthem for living strong.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI52rank/position
The song “Bunny Girl,” so popular that there’s hardly a day you don’t hear it on TikTok or Instagram, is the signature work of the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.
It’s characterized by an exceptionally light, catchy rhythm.
Despite how pleasant and bouncy it sounds—which might come as a surprise—the piece actually has a very narrow vocal range.
As long as you set the key appropriately, people of any voice type can sing it.
The vocal line is rhythmic but doesn’t require any complex pitch movement, and there are no long sustained notes, so even those without strong vocal skills can sing it with confidence.
SAY YESCHAGE and ASKA53rank/position
CHAGE and ASKA is a music duo formed by two high school classmates, although ASKA announced his departure in 2021.
Their 27th single, SAY YES, known as the theme song for the TV drama “The 101st Proposal,” became a massive hit, achieving double million sales thanks in part to the show’s popularity.
Its ethereal ensemble, rich with depth, still brings scenes from the drama to mind even today.
It’s an easy song to sing at karaoke, but if possible, we hope you’ll also try the beautiful harmonies—it’s an enduring ballad classic.

It’s a perfect track for men in their 40s to get fired up with at karaoke, so give it a try!
