Sharam Q “Single Bed” (Music Video)

The song “Single Bed,” renowned as one of the great ballads of the Heisei era, is also a signature work of Sharam Q and is still frequently sung at karaoke today.

Its range spans mid1 C# to mid2 G#, so it’s not extremely low, but because the more energetic phrases can be delivered with a rich lower–mid register, it’s a piece that lets men with lower voices showcase their appeal.

Using the hiccup vocal technique further enhances a masculine quality, so give it a try for reference.

Boobs / Spitz

Even that famous band Spitz has written songs about breasts.

The lyrics are couched in euphemism, but if you read or listen to them repeatedly, you start to realize they might be about sexual intercourse.

It can be amusing to sing them in front of friends while thinking about that.

Spitz / Beautiful Fin

Spitz is a band that continues to attract popularity with catchy messages and melodies that resonate with anyone.

They debuted in the 1990s, but since they’ve released so many classic songs, I think any man in his twenties knows them.

Their song “Utsukushii Hire” is their new track.

Rather than the recent trend of cramming in lots of lyrics, it’s put together as orthodox J-pop.

There aren’t many high notes and it doesn’t feature techniques like “fake” (kakegoe-like embellishments), so as long as you can handle the brief falsetto in part of the chorus, anyone should be able to sing it well.

All the Love Songs I’ve GotNaoto Intiraymi53rank/position

All-Out Love Song PV

A classic love song by Naoto Inti Raymi, an artist hugely popular among younger generations for his approachable, irresistibly singable melodies and clear, transparent vocals.

It’s a track that straightforwardly expresses feelings for someone you love, and it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their singing if they use falsetto.

Naoto Inti Raymi – Treasure ~Until This Voice Fades Away~ from “THE BEST!”

This song was released in 2010.

Naoto Inti Raymi has many fans in their twenties, especially women, so I recommend it.

The straightforward way it expresses love is heart-fluttering.

The earnest way he sings really resonates.

Try singing it with all your heart.

Haj→ – for YOU.

This song starts with a bold, cool line.

Even a man who’s never had confidence in himself would love to nail it like this someday.

The lyrics capture feelings that every man has probably experienced at least once.

Haj→ “To You.” [Full with Lyrics]

This song seems like a friendship anthem from a man to another man, and that’s exactly what makes it attractive.

Men who value their friendships are very popular, so if you sing this, girls will swoon, thinking, “He really cares about his friends—how cool.”
