[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that hyped everyone up back in the day (111–120)
SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu
This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 15th single, released in April 2000.
Many men who feel reluctant to sing at karaoke say, “I’m not good with high notes,” but perhaps because this song is by Fukuyama, whose low voice is part of his appeal, the vocal melody doesn’t use very high notes throughout.
I think that makes it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high pitches.
If anything, singing as if murmuring each word of the lyrics will bring you closer to his vibe, so try singing gently and with care.

I’ll walk home.Saitō Kazuyoshi
This was Kazuyoshi Saito’s fourth single, released on June 1, 1994.
Starting in April 1994, it was used as the opening theme for Fuji TV’s children’s program “Ponkickies,” which later led to a major hit.
With its slightly bouncy rhythm, it’s a classic that makes you feel happy just by listening.
The vocal melody is very friendly and easy to remember, so I think it’s an ideal karaoke choice even for those who aren’t confident singers.
However, since the A verse includes singing with falsetto, if you’re not confident about smoothly switching your vocal registers, it might be better to lower the key.
Also, when you sing it, please be careful not to let the rhythm become too flat.
Ms. SeptemberRADWIMPS
“September-san” by RADWIMPS is a track included on an album released in 2006, and it’s a laid-back song you can sing while gently swaying your body.
RADWIMPS songs often tend to be on the higher side, but this one isn’t that high, with a lowest note of A2 and an average around D4.
The range rises a bit in the pre-chorus, so if you sing with a flowing momentum there, the song will feel more cohesive.
Noda’s vocals are distinctive, but aiming for an overall soft tone will bring your voice closer to his, so try singing it gently.
Be kind to othersTHE BLUE HEARTS
This song has no intro and starts singing right from the beginning.
The first note is E4, a mid-range pitch, so if you take a good breath and prepare before the song starts, you’ll likely produce a steady voice.
It begins without the backing band, so practice repeatedly to align the timing of the lyrics with the point where the band comes in.
Once you get past that, strong drums kick in, and if you listen closely to the backing track while you sing, you’ll be able to ride the groove.
The average pitch used in this song is C4, so overall it’s not high.
If you clearly separate each phrase and take a breath each time, it should make it easier to keep the rhythm.
The call-and-response parts in the song are energizing, so sing them with gusto! To avoid straining your throat, try projecting your voice as if you’re aiming into the distance.
You’ll likely find your voice comes out comfortably!
MayNothing’s Carved In Stone
Nothing’s Carved In Stone, formed around Shinichi Ubukata of ELLEGARDEN and Hidekazu Hinata of STRAIGHTENER, made their debut in 2009.
Boasting enough popularity to sell out a show at Nippon Budokan and a career spanning over 15 years, they’re currently drawing attention with their song “May,” released in May 2025.
The superb melody—driven by their signature emotional guitar sound and Takashi Muramatsu’s powerful yet wistful vocals—hints at the birth of a new anthem.
When singing it at karaoke, aim for clear enunciation and try to savor each and every word of the lyrics as you sing.
25th ChromosomeRADWIMPS
“The 25th Chromosome,” released in November 2005, is the single that marked RADWIMPS’ memorable major-label debut.
The songs performed by the members, who had just turned 20 at the time, are strikingly youthful and vulnerable, and you can already sense the budding presence of Western musical influences in the production.
The fast-paced melody packed with Noda’s distinctive wordplay also feels quintessentially “them,” but fans of the band are likely accustomed to this kind of phrasing and shouldn’t find it difficult to sing at karaoke.
While the pitch sits slightly on the higher side, it stays within a consistent range, so if you’re not comfortable with high notes, adjusting the key should make it perfectly manageable.
cloudy skyDOES
The renowned trio DOES, formed in Fukuoka, rose to nationwide fame thanks to their signature song “Donten,” released in 2008.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Gintama and became a major hit, reaching the top three on the Oricon charts.
The song’s raw, stripped-down guitar sound—made possible by the trio’s minimalist lineup—is incredibly cool, and it’s hugely popular at karaoke.
The rugged, husky vocals and blunt yet moving melody aren’t particularly difficult and are easy to sing, but because the melody doesn’t change much, be mindful to avoid sounding too monotone when you perform it.
