[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that were a hit back then (71–80)

LOSERYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu’s iconic song “LOSER.” The music video drew attention for his own dancing, and the track became one that showcased Yonezu’s artistry to the public.

Though released in 2016, it remains highly popular today, earning strong support not only from people in their 20s but also from those in their 30s.

The track has a somewhat cyber vibe, and despite the title’s “loser” theme, the lyrics are crafted to be uplifting—making it a perfect fit for those in their 30s who often face many challenges in the working world.

This song was chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t usually have the image of being “high” in range, and the vocal range for this song, Shujinkou (Protagonist), is mainly midrange at D#3–G#4.

Many male singers should be able to sing it mostly in chest voice.

Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide tone right before the vocals come in.

Also, because it’s a band track, keeping the drum groove in mind and letting your body ride the beat makes it easier to keep time, and it helps you lock into the melody so the voice comes out more easily.

The song starts with the chorus, and for the choruses throughout, don’t hesitate—project that very first consonant clearly and forward.

For the long tones, focus on sustaining them all the way to the end and enjoy singing it!

Stay GoldHi-STANDARD

Hi-STANDARD’s classic “Stay Gold.” Characterized by a uniquely creative sound that blends alternative rock with hardcore punk and melodic hardcore, it became a massive hit in the 1990s.

The most singable aspect of this track is, above all, its rough vocals.

Instead of delicate vocal control, it leans on gritty, hard-edged singing, which gives you a fair bit of leeway.

The louder your vocal timbre, the more this song shines—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

This is a Denki Groove track featuring a serious, almost single-pitch vocal over techno music, making it easy to sing even for those who struggle with pitch.

As it is also the theme song for GeGeGe no Kitaro, it works great as an upbeat karaoke song.

Aqua Timez is a rock band known for their catchy sound that was active from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s.

Although they disbanded in 2018, they made a limited-time comeback in 2024 and have been working energetically with a Budokan concert as their goal.

For men in their early 30s, they’re likely a very nostalgic band.

Their classic “Sen no Yoru wo Koete” is catchy and very easy to sing.

While the range is slightly wide, there’s no challenging falsetto, so most people should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON

The chorus of this signature track by reggae DJ CHEHON is probably familiar to anyone in their 30s.

The video of him performing it on THE FIRST TAKE has apparently surpassed 10 million views.

In rap, rhythm matters more than pitch.

The first half has a lot of words and keeps a similar rhythm for a while, but in the latter half a more relaxed new rhythm appears, and nailing that switch makes it especially satisfying to sing.

It’s a song that naturally gets your body moving and lifts your mood, so rather than trying to sing it perfectly, approach it with the mindset of having fun and give it a try.
