SAY YESCHAGE and ASKA50rank/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.

Masaharu Fukuyama’s masterpiece is a song that poignantly expresses feelings for a former lover, leaving a deep impression on many listeners.

Used as a TV show theme song, it was released in April 2000.

The piece also carries special significance as a work commemorating the 10th anniversary of Fukuyama’s debut.

While holding the pain of heartbreak, it conveys a wish for the other person’s happiness—its relatable lyrics and memorable melody are its charms.

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

CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi52rank/position

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.

to youMONGOL80053rank/position

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 Fumiya54rank/position

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.

Broken RadioTokunaga Hideaki55rank/position

Hideaki Tokunaga – The Broken Radio
Broken RadioTokunaga Hideaki

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.

Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS56rank/position

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS 'Rose of Passion' [6th Single (1990/7/25)] THE BLUE HEARTS / Jyounetsu no Bara
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS

A classic hit released by THE BLUE HEARTS in the 1990s.

The lyrics, themed around a passionate rose, express eternity, truth, and the inner conflicts of human beings.

Carrying a message to nurture the powerful emotions deep within our hearts, it has become a song that resonates with many.

Released in July 1990, it became the band’s first single to reach No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

It was also used as a TV drama theme song and has been loved across generations.

Its catchy chorus and Hiroto Kōmoto’s powerful vocals leave a strong impression, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

It’s perfect for moments like company parties or class reunions when you want to have fun while feeling a touch of nostalgia.
