[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that hyped everyone up back then (11–20)
gazeSUPER BEAVER
This song has a very cool, authentic band feel! Especially the way the chorus builds—doesn’t it feel great to sing? I get the impression SUPER BEAVER doesn’t use very high registers and tends to have songs on the lower side overall.
The vocal range for “Manazashi” is C3–A4, so it should be easy for most men to sing.
The low notes can easily turn into a throaty sound, so when you sing, try consciously lifting your facial muscles as if you’re making a surprised expression.
Especially when the melody changes, keeping your facial muscles lifted the whole time will prevent your pitch from dropping, making it easier to produce a correct, relaxed sound.
SUPER BEAVER is extremely popular—it seems hard to get live tickets…
They have lots of cool songs, so adding them to your karaoke repertoire is sure to get everyone hyped!
kaiju (giant monster)Sakanakushon
About the opening theme of the TV anime “Chi: About the Movement of the Earth,” which began airing in October 2024: apparently the song’s production ran into difficulties, and the full-length digital release was postponed to the following year.
Because of that, it has continued to make waves even after its release.
One of my students, who’s fairly good with high notes, also sang this song! The vocal range of “Kaijuu” is F#3 to B4, so I think it’s relatively easy for men to sing if they can use falsetto well.
For songs like “Kaijuu” that start abruptly, it’s best to imagine the first pitch before you come in.
However, the initial “na” sound is nasal and actually quite hard to produce cleanly.
Try projecting your voice more forward than you think you need to.
The rhythm is intricate too, so if you keep a tight, small groove as you sing, you should be able to sing freely and comfortably.
It’s a cool song—definitely give it a try!
TemptationGLAY
This is GLAY’s 13th single, released in April 1998.
It’s a very GLAY-like song with a cool melody, isn’t it? It became a huge hit, selling over 800,000 copies in its first week.
I imagine many men in their 30s are GLAY fans.
Musically, it uses a 7/4 time signature in the intro and interlude, so you might need to pay a bit of attention to the timing when starting to sing at karaoke.
The melody itself is very catchy and easy to remember, so as long as you set the key appropriately, even those who aren’t confident singers should find it relatively approachable.
flying fishWANIMA
This song was released on August 13, 2025.
Since it’s mostly composed in the low-mid to high-mid range, I think it’s relatively easy to sing in terms of vocal range.
There’s a C5 that appears in the first and last chorus, and it feels great if you ride the melody and let it out with momentum there.
It has that signature WANIMA rock vibe with a distinctive rhythm, so let’s lock in a few key points.
The song starts right from the chorus, and it kicks off on the off-beat.
It’s fine to put the accent on the first beat, so make sure you line that up firmly.
The A section has a rap-like element, so rhythm matters more than pitch.
Try using your hands like you’re shaking maracas, keeping time at double speed.
It’s a short track at around three minutes, but it sounds awesome when you nail it—definitely give it a try at karaoke!
karmaBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN is a four-piece rock band that has influenced many musicians, and their evolution shows no sign of stopping.
Their 11th single “Karma,” released as a double A-side with “supernova,” was produced as the theme song for the video game Tales of the Abyss.
Its driving ensemble, featuring edgy guitar sounds, is sure to get people hyped even at karaoke.
Since the overall key is low, it’s easy to choose even for those who aren’t confident singers, making it a rock tune recommended for listeners in their 30s.
Paradise BabyRIP SLYME
RIP SLYME’s classic track “Rakuen Baby.” Many men in their 30s are a bit younger than the Sanpin generation, so I think quite a few of them have deep hip-hop knowledge.
That said, hip-hop back then was fundamentally subcultural.
In many cases, people were probably listening to hip-hop artists from the overground scene like RIP SLYME.
This song is one of their signature tunes, featuring a catchy, singable flow and a smooth, flowing beat.
As long as you have a basic sense of rhythm, it’s an easy track that anyone can pull off.

NO MORE CRYD-51
A motivational song that became a huge hit as the theme for the second season of the drama Gokusen.
Many people are sure to feel nostalgic.
The C-melody in particular involves frequent switches between chest voice and falsetto, so it’s recommended for those who are good at falsetto.
The repeated phrases in the chorus also make it crucial to see how accurately you can stay on pitch.
Also, the long G4 note right before the chorus jumps up suddenly, so be careful not to strain your throat by pushing your voice all at once.
If you sing as if you’re running up toward that G4, you should be able to nail the timing.
Keep your facial muscles lifted throughout the C-melody when you sing.
