KANA-BOON “Silhouette” Music Video

KANA-BOON’s bright and upbeat song “Silhouette” is very refreshing, so even men in their thirties can sing it without it feeling out of place.

In particular, it’s a great choice for typically serious, low-profile, and quiet men to sing at a company karaoke gathering to show an unexpected side of themselves.

King Gnu – Hakujitsu

King Gnu is a four-piece rock band drawing attention for their high-level musicianship and performance, described as the “Tokyo New Mixture Style.” Their second digital single, “Hakujitsu,” written as the theme song for the TV drama Innocence: False Accusation Lawyer, became a major hit that introduced the name King Gnu to a broad range of listeners.

The intricate melody isn’t easy to sing at karaoke, but if you can pull it off, you’ll definitely impress.

As a well-known track that livens up any karaoke session, it’s a recommended rock tune for men in their 30s.

MAN WITH A MISSION「FLY AGAIN」 (Official Video)

“FLY AGAIN” is entirely in English, so the bar is set pretty high.

But on the flip side, wouldn’t it be insanely cool if you could sing it? Just like at a live show, if everyone raises both hands and swings them during the chorus, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd hyped.

MY FIRST STORY – I’m a mess (Audio)

A signature song by MY FIRST STORY, known as a classic heartbreak anthem.

Centered on themes of claustrophobia and anxiety, its lyrics delicately portray loneliness and inner conflict, resonating deeply with listeners.

Released in July 2021 as the B-side to the single “Confession,” it gained popularity through social media.

It’s a perfect track for those suffering from the pain of heartbreak or struggling with loneliness.

Give it a listen when you want to let out the feelings buried deep in your heart.

My Hair is Bad – I Got a Girlfriend (Official Music Video)

When you want to hear a heartbreak song that really grabs your heart, I recommend this track by My Hair is Bad.

Just as the title “Koi-bito ga Dekitan da” (“I Got a New Girlfriend/Boyfriend”) suggests, the lyrics read like a man speaking to his ex, now that both of them—once a couple—have found new partners.

He says things like, “I’ve got a new girlfriend who’s a different type from you, and things are going well—how about you? I hope you’re happy,” putting on a brave face, but his lingering feelings for his ex seep through.

When you want to cut those lingering feelings and move forward—or when you’ve started to move on but still can’t forget your ex—try listening to this song while reading the lyrics.

DiamondPRINCESS PRINCESS84rank/position

Princess Princess 'Diamonds <Diamond>'

This is the seventh single by the girls’ rock band Princess Princess (hereafter PriPri), released in April 1989.

It was also their first hit to reach No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

In fact, I was a huge PriPri fan at the time and used to go to their concerts all over the country (lol).

Maybe because of that personal attachment, I really hope many people will choose this song at karaoke, sing it, and have fun.

Musically, it has a very fun vibe with an easy-to-remember, easy-to-hum melody and rhythm, so it’s also recommended as a karaoke pick for those who aren’t confident singers! Don’t overthink it—just enjoy!
