If you’re interested in moody songs, I recommend “Tokyo.” Works like this demand rich expressiveness, yet they tend not to require powerful volume or sustained long notes.

This piece is no exception: it doesn’t call for long tones or big projection.

So even when your voice starts to tire at a second party, you should still be able to sing it comfortably.

Rather than aiming for a pristine delivery, it actually shines more with deliberately husky, slightly blurred pronunciation—give it a try.

North TavernHosokawa Takashi

Set in a northern country tavern, this heartwarming enka classic captures the very moment a romance begins.

It richly portrays everything from the fateful encounter in a bar district to the deepening of their relationship.

Takashi Hosokawa’s powerful yet delicate vocals brilliantly convey the thrill of a man whose heart leaps at a chance meeting in a tavern.

After its release in March 1982, the song became a huge hit when it was performed on the TV show “Kin-chan no Doko Made Yaru no?” That same year, it won the 24th Japan Record Award and was also performed on the 33rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Blending a light, poppy melody with the emotive depth characteristic of enka in perfect balance, this piece is ideal for singing at a relaxed pace while soaking in the tavern’s atmosphere.

Why not try it as the perfect finale to a fun night out with friends?

Southern All Stars is a band that has continued to be loved across generations.

Even people in their teens and twenties may feel familiar with them because their parents listened to their music.

Their new song is “Utae Nippon no Sora” (“Sing, Sky of Japan”).

It’s a laid-back track that evokes summer and has a tropical feel throughout.

The vocal line is mostly in a low register, making it an easy song to sing even for men who can’t hit high notes.

Be sure to check it out.

Luoyangyoshida takurou

It’s one of Takuro Yoshida’s signature songs, contrasting the image of contemplating life’s long journey with the scenery of the sun setting on the horizon.

It’s also memorable for its many arrangements, including the version used as the theme song for the drama “Ano Natsu ni Dakaretai.” The lyrics, written by Osami Okamoto, are said to be based on his real experiences, and you can feel the authenticity that comes from scenes he actually witnessed.

The gentle, deliberate delivery makes it easy to sing, and it’s important to cherish the words and perform them with care.

Kanda RiverMinami Kōsetsu

Sung by Kōsetsu Minami, this emblematic folk song was released in 1973.

Many people likely spent their student days in a manner similar to the world depicted in this so-called “four-and-a-half-mat Showa folk” song.

It’s a piece to be cherished and sung with a sense of nostalgia for one’s youth.

In addition to karaoke, it’s also a great choice for solo performance with an instrument.

There’s always tomorrowSakamoto Kyu

With lyrics by Yukio Aoshima and music and arrangement by Hachidai Nakamura, this song comically portrays the feelings of a male student who, despite lacking confidence and being unable to confess his love to the girl he admires, faces each day with a positive attitude.

Thanks to its catchy melody and recent cover versions, it has gained support across generations, making it a perfect song for everyone to get excited together.

outdatedKawashima Eigo

Singer-songwriter Eigo Kawashima, whose refined musicality earned him immense support from men.

For those in their 60s, he might be the perfect artist.

Kawashima produced many masterpieces, but the one I especially recommend is “Jidai Okure” (Behind the Times).

A no-nonsense piece portraying a man that men admire, it became a major hit in the 1980s.

What’s more, it’s a very singable song: the range is narrow, there are few long notes, and it doesn’t require much vibrato, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing should be able to handle it without trouble.
