[30s] Popular Japanese Music / J-POP Rankings [By Generation] (61–70)
FlowerORANGE RANGE61rank/position
Thanks to a recent revival hit, the mixture rock band ORANGE RANGE is now attracting attention from younger generations as well.
They’ve produced many hit numbers, but among them, the song I recommend for men with lower voices is Hana.
It might not sound particularly low at first, but its lowest note is low G, so there are quite a few deep phrases.
The highest note is mid F (F4), which means the overall range is fairly narrow, making it easier to sing for men with lower voices.
GO!!!FLOW62rank/position
GO!!! by FLOW, one of their signature songs and the opening theme for the anime NARUTO.
With its driving momentum, it’s a staple in their live shows and feels very band-oriented.
The song structure builds excitement—verse (A) to pre-chorus (B) to chorus—making it a very satisfying listen.
The vocal range, D#3 to B4, is accessible for the average male singer, but be cautious: the pitch rises slightly at the start of the B section, so avoid forcing your voice and straining your throat.
At a brisk tempo of 135 BPM, it’s highly rhythmic, and the chorus features FLOW’s signature rap.
Since FLOW has two vocalists, try trading lines with a partner or getting the crowd involved when you sing it!
Spring Dayaimyon63rank/position
For this song, Harunohi, the A and B sections are in the lower register, and then the chorus jumps up into a much higher range.
The highest note is C#5, but the melody is very straightforward, so I think it’s easy to sing in tune.
Also, adding dynamics within the song will help boost your score, so try to build excitement progressively from A melody to B melody to the chorus.
Karaoke scoring also values stability, so make sure to sustain your long tones in line with the pitch bar, start firmly on the initial notes, and focus on the fundamentals of singing.
Doing so makes it easier to aim for a high score—give it a try!
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu64rank/position
Spitz’s classic song “Sora mo Toberu Hazu” (“We Should Be Able to Fly”).
When it comes to Spitz, you might think their songs are hard to sing because of the very high vocals.
It’s true that at first listen this track also seems high, but in fact its vocal range isn’t particularly wide.
As a result, most men in their 30s should be able to sing it smoothly without straining.
In addition, there aren’t any sections that rely heavily on vibrato, so you can deliver it nicely even without fancy techniques.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
HOT LIMITT.M.Revolution65rank/position
T.M.Revolution is the solo project of Takanori Nishikawa, who is widely active not only in music but also as an actor and entrepreneur.
The eighth single, HOT LIMIT, which features numerous tie-ins, has become synonymous with T.M.Revolution, aided by the impact of its music video.
Men in their 30s who likely experienced its shock in real time might feel compelled to sing it at karaoke.
Known for its high-tone, powerful vocals, it’s an upbeat track that begs to be performed with high energy in a karaoke setting.
crescent moonayaka66rank/position
A signature song by Ayaka that sings of feelings for a loved one far away.
The gentle ballad’s lyrics portray a poignant image of a woman living bravely while battling loneliness.
Released in September 2006, it topped the Oricon Weekly Chart and was featured as the theme song for NHK’s “Mirai Kansoku: Tsunagaru TV @ Human” as well as in an au commercial.
Keep a clear, composed vocal tone and pour your feelings into the simple melody as you sing.
If you perform it toward the end of a karaoke session, just when everyone’s in the mood for something a bit calmer, you might even captivate the men in the room.
Things that have formShibasaki Kou67rank/position
It became a long-running hit as the theme song for the drama “Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World,” reaching No.
2 on the Oricon charts for three consecutive weeks and No.
6 for the year! It’s a ballad that portrays a heartrending romance, structured so that it starts quietly and the emotions explode in the chorus.
The tempo is slow, so the pitch bar is easy to follow and it’s easier to stay on pitch, making it feel singable even for beginners.
If you take solid breaths for each phrase and project your voice toward the mic, your expressiveness will score extra points too! For the start of the pre-chorus, come in with a firm voice, and in the chorus, don’t hesitate—letting your voice out boldly feels good and hits just the right spot.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki68rank/position
A signature work by Noriyuki Makihara that delivers a universal message of living true to yourself, carried by a powerful yet gentle melody.
While acknowledging the doubts and anxieties of life, this classic is imbued with a strong resolve to cherish your true self.
Included on the album “Who Do You Share a Happy Yawn With?”, it became a massive hit, surpassing one million copies within six months of its June 1991 release.
It was also selected as the entrance march for the 64th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in spring 1992.
The melody, featuring a distinctive acoustic guitar and a calm tempo, makes it easy to sing.
For many people, it’s a song that resonates in the heart when standing at a crossroads or when they feel on the verge of losing themselves.
deep forestDo As Infinity69rank/position
Do As Infinity is a male-female rock duo that was hugely active in the 2000s.
While they’re categorized as a rock band, most of their songs are J-pop, and they’ve produced several classics leveraging their catchiness.
Among them, Fukai Mori stands out as one of their signature tracks.
Its vocal range, from mid1 G to hi C#, is relatively narrow and slightly high, suited for female singers, and the tempo is relaxed.
Women in their 30s should be able to sing it without difficulty.
However, because the song leaves a somewhat dark impression, it’s important to pay attention to delivering clear dynamics.
A life-sized love songAqua Timez70rank/position
Aqua Timez, who captivated many fans with lyrics and melodies that resonate with the heart.
This work is a song that deeply expresses the bond and emotions shared with a loved one.
It sings about the importance of showing love not only through words but through actions, and about walking together through life’s ups and downs.
Released in August 2005 as part of the indie mini-album “Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori,” it became a major hit, selling over 800,000 copies.
It was also chosen as the opening theme for the TV program “Ongaku Senshi MUSIC FIGHTER,” helping to raise the band’s profile.
This song, which conveys down-to-earth emotions, is perfect for moments when you want to deepen your bond with someone special or express your feelings honestly.
