[Alexandros] – Wataridori (MV)

[Alexandros] is a four-piece rock band that has gained popularity for its piercing high-tone vocals and colorful ensemble rock sound.

Despite being their major-label debut single, their 10th single overall, “Wataridori,” has been featured in numerous tie-ins and has become one of [Alexandros]’s signature songs.

The melody spans a wide vocal range, and the chorus in particular stays in a high register, so for karaoke we recommend adjusting the key to suit your voice.

With its driving beat and refreshing melody that are sure to draw attention, it’s a rock tune especially recommended for men in their 30s.

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS “Linda Linda” [1st Single (1987/5/1)] THE BLUE HEARTS / Linda Linda

A legendary rock band that arguably popularized punk rock as a genre and style in the J-POP scene, THE BLUE HEARTS released this track as their first major-label single.

Known as the band’s signature song, it’s famed for its explosive performances.

Interestingly, the lyrics never actually mention “Linda,” and vocalist/lyricist Hiroto Kōmoto has publicly said you can “sing it however you like.” It’s an upbeat tune perfect for getting the crowd going by freely tweaking the lyrics depending on who you’re at karaoke with—highly recommended for men in their 30s, who likely find themselves in karaoke settings fairly often.

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Sugar Song and Bitter Step” MV

I think there are many men in their 30s who like anime songs.

For such anime song fans in their 30s, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is probably one of the most popular bands.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Sugar Song and Bitter Step.” Its appeal lies in the seamless succession of high-pitched phrases that feel light yet deliver an exceptional sense of liberation.

If you watched Blood Blockade Battlefront as it aired, be sure to try singing it.

flumpool “Kimi ni Todoke” Music Video

flumpool’s signature song is a masterpiece that sings about feelings for a loved one.

It gained attention as the theme song for the film “Kimi ni Todoke,” and after its release in September 2010, it ranked high on the Oricon charts for 11 consecutive weeks.

Ryuta Yamamura’s sweet vocals are striking, and the beautiful melody composed by Kazuki Sakai resonates deeply.

Lyrics like “I want to protect your smile” and “I close my eyes and picture a future with you” convey a profound love for someone special.

If you plan to sing it at karaoke, it’s a good idea to practice in advance so you can hit the high notes.

Singing it together with someone important to you will surely become a wonderful memory.

Sambomaster / The World Calls It Love MUSIC VIDEO

This track is defined by its powerful message and fiery rock sound.

It appeals to the importance of love and peace, giving you the courage to overcome past sorrows and take a new step forward.

Released in August 2005 as Sambomaster’s fifth single, it was selected as the ending theme for the Fuji TV drama “Densha Otoko.” It peaked at No.

7 on the Oricon weekly chart and became one of the band’s signature songs.

It’s recommended for when you’re tired from work or relationships and need strength to look ahead.

It’s sure to lift your spirits.

LOVE YOU ONLYTOKIO62rank/position

TOKIO / LOVE YOU ONLY [High Quality Audio]

This was TOKIO’s major debut single, released in September 1994.

Although TOKIO performs in a band format, perhaps because this is their debut song, it totally has the vibe of a pre-’90s male idol track—upbeat, with a poppy, catchy, and simple melody.

Even for those who aren’t confident singers looking to try it at karaoke, I can wholeheartedly recommend this song.

The original key is a bit on the high side, so be sure to pay close attention to your key setting.

Get into the rhythm, and if you make it feel as exhilarating as the band themselves, it’ll be perfect!

MONKEY MAJIK / Just, Thank You

MONKEY MAJIK, who borrowed their band name from Godiego’s classic “Monkey Magic,” are a multinational band from Sendai.

Their lyrics, which always value authentic expression, possess a universality that lets each listener envision different scenes.

“Tada, Arigatou” was originally written as the theme song for the TV drama Ando Natsu, but while it is now widely loved as a wedding song, it’s also a curious track that some feel conveys a completely different message.
