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.
If I can laughUrufuruzu
This is a feel-good song by a group led by Japan’s energetic icon, Tortoise Matsumoto.
The melody has a narrow pitch range and can be sung in a lower octave, making it easy even for people who struggle with pitch.
It’s especially recommended as a karaoke song for people in their 30s who are in the prime of their working years and want something uplifting.
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~~.”
choB-DASH
This track is a major single by B-DASH.
It’s meant to be enjoyed by ear, and if you actually look at the lyrics, the English and Japanese are all jumbled.
But that’s B-DASH’s signature—its English-like vibe makes it really cool.
The vocal range is D#3 to A#4, with the highest note being a high A#; it’s on the higher side, but most of the song sits around D4.
Since it’s a short song, it might be fun to just go with the flow and sing it without worrying about the lyrics! Give it a try!
Hold me, señoritaYamashita Tomohisa
Tomohisa Yamashita, known by his nickname Yamapi, was a member of the idol group NEWS from 2003 to 2011.
In 2006, Yamapi released his long-awaited debut solo single, Daite Señorita, which was used as the theme song for the TBS drama Kurosagi.
The song’s intro is cool and memorable.
As an idol song, its vocal range is relatively narrow, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident with high notes.
The opening of the first verse is quite low, so it may be tricky to hit the pitches, but if you sing carefully, you’ll be fine.
There’s also a simple choreography in the chorus, so try enjoying it while keeping the rhythm.
Hey! How’s everyone doing?KinKi Kids
With its catchy, cheerful rock ’n’ roll sound, it makes you want to move to the beat.
Released in 2001 as their 13th single, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Gakko no Sensei,” starring Tsuyoshi Domoto.
The lyrics and composition were done by YO-KING of the band Magokoro Brothers.
The unforced, relaxed vocal delivery is truly wonderful.
While there isn’t a large range in pitch, the melody is structured like spoken language, so practice capturing that nuance.

Together foreverKobukuro
Eternally With You, a song beloved as a wedding classic, was released in 2004 as a double A-side single along with Million Films.
The song was written by Kentaro Kobuchi for a friend’s wedding.
Its simple, easy-to-remember melody makes it very singable, so even those who aren’t confident at karaoke can give it a try.
The harmony part isn’t too difficult either, so it could be great to practice as a duo and perform as a wedding reception entertainment.
