[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that hyped everyone up back then (141–150)
It’s fine.Urufuruzu
Ulfuls is a four-piece rock band that thrills fans with funky, soulful vocals and arrangements.
Their 25th single, “Eenenden,” which has been featured in various tie-ins, offers lyrics that simply affirm you, supporting hearts that feel tired and on the verge of breaking.
Its high-energy arrangement livens up karaoke and is sure to brighten time spent with coworkers or old friends.
With a simple melody and song structure, it’s a rock tune that can help even those who aren’t confident singers blow off some steam.
heartKobukuro
The song “Kokoro” (“Heart”) is a number that gives you an opportunity to face your own heart.
Released in 2017, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “I’m Taking a Break at Work Now” (Chotto Ima Kara Shigoto Yamete Kuru), and the music video features NAOTO from EXILE and Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE.
The track unfolds at a relaxed pace, as if having a gentle conversation with your heart, making it easy to sing without rushing.
If the key feels a bit high, try lowering it a few steps so you can sing more comfortably and freely.
BeautifulHirai Dai
Hirai Dai’s music is strongly influenced by R&B and Hawaiian music.
Among these, R&B in particular tends to be a very challenging genre for Japanese listeners, as its rhythms can be difficult to grasp.
“Beautiful,” however, leans more toward pop music, so there’s no need to worry about that, and the vocal line is arranged to be easy to sing throughout.
That said, there are occasional falsetto parts, so you’ll need to set an appropriate key.
If you choose a key that feels “slightly high,” it will make the falsetto sections easier to produce—please use this as a reference.

At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
Some of Noriyuki Makihara’s songs can be challenging for men to sing, right? Even so, there are some that are easy to sing! If I had to pick one, I’d recommend “Donna Toki mo.” The charm of this song lies in its simple yet moving melody and, above all, its positive lyrics that value staying true to yourself.
You might feel the key is a bit high, but by adjusting it, it becomes easier for men to sing.
That’s why, when you sing this at karaoke, others will surely start humming along!
That’s all.Fukuyama Masaharu
A pop number that sings about straightforward love, “Sore ga Subete sa.” Released in 2003 as part of a triple A-side single alongside “Niji” and “Himawari,” the song drew attention for being featured in a Pocari Sweat commercial.
One of the reasons it’s so easy to sing is its catchy melody that gets everyone excited and singing together.
Another appeal is how memorable it is thanks to that melody and its simple, straightforward lyrics.
You’ll want to watch out for the rap part in the middle, but overall it’s a song you can sing relaxed and have fun with!
I want to shout that I love you.BAAD
BAAD is a rock band that started in 1992.
Their 1993 release “Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai” was used as the first opening theme for the anime SLAM DUNK, and it’s a huge hit with people around their thirties.
It’s a highly recognizable song that even people in their twenties and forties tend to know, which makes it great for getting everyone involved and fired up together.
The key is a bit on the high side, so a good tip is to adjust it to suit your range before you sing.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
“One Night Carnival” is a single by Kishidan.
It starts with spoken lines and is performed with para-para-style choreography—an upbeat, high-energy track that really gets you moving.
It’s also become a karaoke staple in Japan.
Because it’s often used as BGM on variety shows that play with yankii (delinquent) themes, even people who aren’t very interested in songs have probably heard it at least once.
As a vocal coach, I almost feel hesitant to say this, but it’s such a bright, lively, and fun song that worrying about singing technique feels silly—so if you can, go all in and copy the choreography too, and just enjoy it!
