[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that were a hit back then (71–80)
When the mimosa bloomsShitamachi Kyōdai
This is a song by the Downtown Brothers, known for producing tracks with catchy, distinctive flows.
Because it’s a rap delivered in a mostly monotone, spoken style, it’s an easy karaoke choice even for men in their 30s who aren’t confident with pitch.
Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu
This was Ulfuls’ 10th single, released in February 1996.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Victory Goddess” and sold over 500,000 copies.
The vocal melody is straightforward, and the tempo is mid-range, making it a very easy song to sing.
Just like Tortoise Matsumoto, who sings it, belt it out and enjoy the act of singing itself.
Rather than overthinking how to sing it well, it’s best to perform it naturally without worrying about the details.
sailing dayBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN is a rock band that still has many fans today, thanks to their consistent musical style.
They’ve released numerous classic songs, but for men in their 30s in particular, “sailing day” might be the most nostalgic.
This track is a quintessential BUMP number, crafted as a straightforward J-pop-style rock song.
The vocal range isn’t especially wide, and while there are a few long notes here and there, the melody isn’t about soaring vocals.
So unless you’re extremely off-key, you should be able to sing it smoothly.

POP STARHirai Ken
It’s Ken Hirai’s 23rd single, released in October 2005.
You might think, “Why recommend a Ken Hirai song when I’m not good at singing!?” but it’s an upbeat, lively track, and in that sense it’s very easy for anyone to sing.
The chorus melody is also very simple and easy to remember, so there’s nothing to be afraid of there.
However, if you want to sing it in the original key like he does, you’ll need to properly switch between chest voice, falsetto, and mixed voice, so please be careful when setting the key.
The actual vocal range used isn’t that wide, so as long as you research and choose the right key beforehand, you should be fine.
Also, if you’re not confident, feel free to skip the ad-lib sections—the parts without lyrics where he goes like “Uh~~.”
PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is Official HIGE DANDism’s second single, released on May 15, 2019.
It was used as the theme song for the film “The Confidence Man JP: The Movie.” Satoshi Fujihara, the vocalist of Official HIGE DANDism, has a wonderfully rich voice with many beautiful higher overtones and is an exceptionally skilled singer.
So it’s understandable that many people might think, “Can I really sing something like this?” However, the melody of the song itself is very simple and easy to remember, and the tempo is a very singable mid-tempo.
So don’t be afraid—give it a try.
That said, if you sing it in the original key, the high notes may be challenging for many, so please be careful when setting the key!
It’s love, right?wacci
Among my students, there are many men with low voices, and one of the songs some of them have been practicing is wacci’s “Koi Daro.” In this song, the chorus jumps up to F#4, but the lowest note is a quite low B2, which appears repeatedly throughout.
How about first getting comfortable producing those easier low notes solidly, and then trying to sing the higher parts with some momentum? Of course, it’s perfectly fine to start with falsetto instead of chest voice! If you keep singing, it will definitely click at some point, so I think it’s worth taking on the challenge even if it feels “a little high.” Don’t strain—just ride the rhythm and give it a try.
Deeper DeeperONE OK ROCK
The 2013 release “Deeper Deeper.” The vocal range in this piece is mid2B to hiB, so the range itself isn’t particularly wide.
However, the overall pitch is very high, so male singers should take caution.
Additionally, the highest note, hiB, appears more than 40 times in total, requiring strong vocal stamina.
Fortunately, there are hardly any sustained high notes, so focus on cleanly executing each individual high-pitched phrase.
