[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that were a hit back then (71–80)
innocent worldMr.Children
This is Mr.Children’s (hereafter “Mr.
Chiru”) fifth single, released in June 1994.
It was used as the commercial song for Japan Coca-Cola’s “Aquarius Neo/Aquarius Iosis.” At the time of release, it sold 200,000 copies initially and went on to become a million-selling hit.
So as of December 2023, most people in their 30s have probably heard this track at least once.
While Mr.Children’s songs generally grew more challenging to sing as their career progressed, the songs from this period still feature straightforward melodies that are easy to hum along to.
A close analysis of vocalist Sakurai’s singing reveals the use of falsetto and mixed voice, especially in the chorus, but don’t worry too much about that—just raise your voice and enjoy singing.
GO!!!FLOW
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!
Happinessarashi
This is Arashi’s 20th single, released in September 2007.
It’s an upbeat, lively track with a slightly bouncy rhythm and a bright feel.
It also comes across as a quintessential example of idol songs from the 2000s onward.
Thinking about singing it at karaoke, the melody is very simple and easy to sing, so as long as you’re careful not to lose the song’s inherent lightness, I think even those who aren’t confident singers can handle it without any problems.
Since all the members of Arashi sing in unison, it’s also a great one to enjoy by singing together with friends like a chorus!

protagonistSUPER BEAVER
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!
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.
illustrated reference bookSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI often gives the impression of having many high-pitched songs, but the July 2025 release “Zukan” doesn’t feature any strained high notes and has minimal pitch jumps, keeping the range in an easy-to-sing register.
The melody is structured with just verse A, verse B, and the chorus, without a new section like a bridge (C-melody), so it should be easy to memorize.
Overall, the range, rhythm, and melody are clearly organized, so you don’t need special techniques—perfect for those who want to sing in a relaxed style.
It also seems like a song that’s easy to score well on in karaoke.
To aim for a high score, first focus on matching the pitch.
Try singing lightly with the image of lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows and projecting the voice from in front of your eyebrows.
Vocalist Fukase also tends to keep his eyebrows raised, so use that as a reference!
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
This is an uplifting anthem that powerfully portrays the pursuit of dreams and hope, and it is one of Yuzu’s signature songs, widely loved as NHK’s official theme for the Athens Olympics.
Carried by the soothing sound of acoustic guitars, it gently sings of hidden tears and the journey continued despite uncertainty.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and since its release in July 2004, it has continued to warm the hearts of many.
With a leisurely melody, the song has a comfortable vocal range and is easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a heartwarming message song that stands beside those who work hard every day, those who face difficulties, and those about to take a new step in life—why not give it a try?
