[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that hyped everyone up back then (91–100)
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS
A song by RADWIMPS, released in July 2016.
It was created as an insert song for director Makoto Shinkai’s film “Your Name.” It’s an up-tempo, very catchy rock number, so don’t overthink it—just sing and have fun! The chorus and other parts pack in the lyrics rapidly, but try to articulate each word clearly so the words don’t blur together.
Especially in the sections where the title is sung, if you emphasize the initial consonant of the first sound “ze,” you can bring out an even stronger impact.
Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu
This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 27th single, released on August 31, 2011.
As of May 2022, many people now in their 30s probably listened to this song during their sensitive, impressionable years in their 20s.
It was used as the CM song for Recruit’s wedding magazine Zexy and as the image song for TV Tokyo’s variety show “Let’s Become a Family.” The track is a gentle ballad that lets you fully enjoy Fukuyama’s unadorned vocal charm.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so I think just about anyone can sing it comfortably.
Try singing it in a way that preserves the song’s tender atmosphere.
A good tip for making it sound nice is to consciously place the voice as if it’s resonating toward your lower jaw and really engage your chest resonance.
Give it a try!

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!
When I turn around…Janne Da Arc
For those in their thirties, when it comes to spot-on visual kei rock bands, isn’t Janne Da Arc the first that comes to mind? They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “If You Look Back…”.
Among their tracks, this one is arranged with an especially gentle melody.
It features somewhat longer sustained notes, but doesn’t rely heavily on vibrato, so I think it’s relatively easy to sing.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
swallowtail butterflyPorunogurafiti
This is Porno Graffitti’s sixth single, released in June 2001.
It’s an appealing song with a slightly Latin-style rhythm and melody.
The melody is very simple and easy to remember, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be fine using it as a karaoke pick.
Many people may feel the original key is “too high!!,” so please be careful when choosing the key.
Other than that, as long as you can sing it without dragging behind the Latin-style side-to-side groove that characterizes this song, you should be good to go.
Lovers AgainEXILE
EXILE’s 22nd single, released in January 2007.
When it comes to EXILE, their vocal ability is widely praised, and since this song is a slow ballad, many of you might be thinking, “I’m not good at singing—can I really pull this off?” Rest assured.
It’s true that the original key is high and might be a bit tough for the average male vocalist, but you’ll be fine if you adjust the key in karaoke.
The phrasing has a bit of a unique touch, so trying to replicate it perfectly can be tricky, but the melody itself is very straightforward and simple.
If you sing it plainly and cleanly—like holding the sustained notes steadily—even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to manage it.
Just be careful not to rush the rhythm.
Funa Funa Funassyifunasshī
This was Funassyi’s first single, released in November 2013.
The lyrics and composition are credited to Funassyi, but the arrangement and production were handled by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE, which explains the interesting, hard rock arrangement in a distinctly THE ALFEE style.
If you try to sing this song faithfully to the original, I think it requires quite a bit of vocal ability; however, given the song’s vibe, you can have a great time and really hype up the crowd just by belting it out without overthinking it.
So don’t worry if you’re not confident in your singing—everyone should enjoy it in their own way and just let your voice out! I won’t go so far as to say “let’s sing” (lol).
