[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that got everyone hyped back in the day (101–110)
Mononoke DanceDenki Gurūvu
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.
Endless road19
The folk duo 19, who gained popularity with their orthodox musical style.
While they’re categorized as a folk duo, their sound is actually closer to rock, and they even have songs with a rough, rock-like arrangement.
Among them, the one I particularly recommend is Hatenonai Michi (Endless Road).
There’s a single high note near the end of the chorus, but it’s not so high that you need to use mixed voice; if you sing it in the right key, you should be able to handle it without trouble.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
DepartureFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ seventh single, “Tabidachi” (“Departure”).
Released in 2008, it didn’t become an explosive hit, but it still enjoyed moderate success: it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Bokutachi to Chuzaishan no 700 Nichi Sensō” (The 700 Days’ War: Us and the Police Officer) and reached No.
10 on the Oricon weekly chart.
Men in their early 30s may find it familiar.
In short, the song features a fairly simple, uniform vocal line with very gentle pitch movement.
However, it contains a fair number of long notes and the overall range is somewhat high, so it’s necessary to set the key so you can sustain long tones at a relatively high pitch.
Thank you!!HOME MADE kazoku
HOME MADE Kazoku’s “Thank You!!” is their third single overall and served as the second ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime BLEACH.
At HOME MADE Kazoku’s live shows, instead of fans shouting “Encore!”, they reportedly sing the chorus of “Thank You!!”.
One notable feature of this song is its wide vocal range, spanning A2 to G4.
KURO, who handles the lower parts, mainly sings within the octave starting at A2, while lead vocalist MICRO sings an octave above KURO.
Their call-and-response is wonderful, isn’t it? Although the range is wide, the overall pitch isn’t that high, so it’s relatively easy for men to sing.
Since it’s hip hop, try keeping time with your hands while you sing!
Song of JoyMONGOL800
MONGOL800 is a band from Okinawa.
While they have numerous hit songs such as “Chiisana Koi no Uta,” I’d like to recommend a slightly more niche track here: “Yorokobi no Uta.” Unlike most of their songs, this one features a reggae-style rhythm with distinctive off-beats on the 2 and 4.
The vocals are calm and somewhat languid, and since there aren’t many long sustained notes, it should be easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their vocal power or lung capacity.

The beauties of nature — flowers, birds, wind, and the moon (a poetic expression appreciating nature’s elegance)Ketsumeishi
Ketsumeishi is a music group that sparked a hip-hop boom in the overground scene of the 2000s.
Known for many songs about love and friendship, they are recognized as a hip-hop group that drew in a broad general audience with approachable rap.
Among their tracks, “Kachou Fuugetsu” is particularly easy to sing.
The rap element is relatively subdued, and the melody throughout has a somewhat Okinawan folk-song feel.
The vocal range is narrow and the vocal line is simple, but the chorus contains many sustained long notes, so you’ll need to pay attention to volume and key adjustments.
Life is BeautifulASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Some teenage boys may be interested in Japanese music from a decade or two ago.
In particular, teens who follow the Japanese rock scene are probably digging into older bands.
That’s why I recommend Life Is Beautiful.
It’s the latest release from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, who were hugely active in the 2000s, and it has a refreshing, soft overall vibe.
While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, aside from a brief falsetto in the chorus, it’s actually quite limited.
The vocal line doesn’t require vibrato, so as long as you can control your pitch and hold long notes, you can aim for a high score at karaoke.
