[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that got everyone hyped back then (21–30)
Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓
This is a famous song by The Blue Hearts, who enjoy charismatic popularity in Japan.
With a verse that has almost no melodic variation and an easy-to-sing chorus, it’s not difficult and is a great choice to try at karaoke.
It’s also perfect for people in their 30s, making it a highly recommended karaoke song.
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.
FlowerKinKi Kids
Flower, the 7th single that was used as the CM song for ANA’s “’99 Paradise Okinawa” campaign and went on to sell over a million copies.
In 2023, 24 years after its release, it also made waves when it was featured in a McDonald’s commercial starring KinKi Kids.
With its narrow vocal range and relaxed tempo and melody, it’s likely easy to sing at karaoke.
This pop tune features a breezy, summery reggae-style ensemble—try singing it while keeping the off-beat groove in mind.
The White LoversKuwata Keisuke
As a solo artist, Keisuke Kuwata’s seventh single overall, released in October 2001.
It was used as the song for Coca-Cola’s “No Reason” campaign commercials, in which Kuwata himself appeared, as well as for UNIQLO’s “LifeWear/HEATTECH: Winter Is the Time to Go Outside” commercials.
You could truly call this a staple of late-’90s to early-2000s J-pop.
Many songs from that era are very easy to sing, and this ballad is no exception—it’s something anyone can casually sing and enjoy.
It might even be fun to sing it while doing a Kuwata-style impression, don’t you think?
Lifetime RespectMiki Dōsan
This is a classic by Dōzan Miki, the most successful Japanese one-hit wonder as a reggae artist.
Its spoken-style delivery and simple melody line make it easy to sing, and the slow-tempo beat is perfect for karaoke.
It can also be used as a performance piece during wedding season in your 30s.
mirage10-FEET
This is a song by 10-Feet, a band that has established its position as one of Japan’s quintessential orthodox rock groups.

Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi
A timeless adult classic by Kazuyoshi Saito, celebrated for its deeply moving vocals and rich storytelling.
This exquisite ballad conveys heartfelt emotions for a loved one—feelings that are hard to say out loud—set to song with disarming honesty.
Its simple melody and resonant guitar gently enfold the lyrical world.
Since its release in November 1997, many artists have covered it, and in 2017 it was used as the theme song for the animated film “Lu Over the Wall.” In August 2022, a performance on THE FIRST TAKE drew significant attention, extending its appeal to a new generation.
