LieShido
No matter the generation, there are surely people who were deeply immersed in visual kei rock bands.
For men in their 30s, many might think of SID as a popular visual kei band.
Their song “Uso” is one of their signature works, and its Japanese-style melody, alongside bands like Kiryu, helped create a distinct movement.
For those unfamiliar with V-kei, the song may be best known as a theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
It’s a piece that both anime fans and SID fans can get excited about together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Beyond a thousand nightsAqua Timez
Aqua Timez is a rock band known for their catchy sound that was active from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s.
Although they disbanded in 2018, they made a limited-time comeback in 2024 and have been working energetically with a Budokan concert as their goal.
For men in their early 30s, they’re likely a very nostalgic band.
Their classic “Sen no Yoru wo Koete” is catchy and very easy to sing.
While the range is slightly wide, there’s no challenging falsetto, so most people should be able to sing it without any trouble.
Give it some guts!!Urufuruzu
It’s a song packed with energetic, positive messages.
The chorus, which repeats the word “guts,” resonates with listeners and gives them confidence.
Released in December 1995 as one of Ulfuls’ signature tracks, it became a turning point for the band.
At a time when Japanese society was shrouded in a gloomy mood, it emerged as a source of encouragement.
With disco-style arrangements and a catchy guitar line, it’s notable for its ability to create a sense of unity in live performances.
Give it a listen when you’re worn out by work or life and need a boost—you’ll surely find the courage to look forward.
Love so sweetarashi
This is the 18th single by the Japanese idol group Arashi, released on February 21, 2007.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Hana Yori Dango 2 (Returns),” starring group member Jun Matsumoto, and also featured in commercials for Kirin’s “Gogo no Koucha” (Afternoon Tea), so many of you have probably heard it before.
As it’s what you might call an idol song, the vocal melody doesn’t have a particularly wide range, and the melody itself is very catchy, easy to sing, and easy to remember, making it a great karaoke choice even for those who aren’t confident singers.
Don’t worry about trying to sing it perfectly—just enjoy singing and letting your voice out!
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
Air Band, the seventh single by Golden Bomber (hereafter, Kinbaku), was released in October 2009.
Hard to believe it’s been almost ten years! As of the time of writing (April 2020), if you’re in your 30s, this was probably right in your wheelhouse.
With some lyric changes, it was also used as the theme song for House Foods’ “Mega Shaki” commercial.
Not just with this song, but as a common trait in Kinbaku’s music, the vocal melodies are very Showa-kayō in style.
Speaking of Showa-era pop, compared to modern songs, the melodies are often very simple and easy to get into, which is one reason this is great even for people who aren’t confident singers.
In terms of key, most men should be fine singing it in the original key, but just in case, check in advance to find the key that suits you best.
The tempo makes it really easy to groove to, so don’t sweat the small stuff—just have fun singing it!
If I sing to the sky175R
175R is a rock band that made its major debut in 2003.
They announced a hiatus in 2010, but resumed activities in 2016 and continue to perform at many festivals and play live shows.
When you think of 175R, many people probably think first of this song, Sora ni Utaeba.
The song overall gives the impression of having many long tones, which really bring out vocalist SHOGO’s higher register.
The vocal range spans an octave and a half from F3 to B4, which might feel a bit high for male singers.
That said, the song starts mostly in the lower range, so as long as you can handle the rapid, wordy line at the end of the chorus, it’s a very satisfying song to sing.
It builds even more toward the end with call-and-response parts, so definitely give it a try when you want to hype things up at karaoke.
SOUVENIRBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 19th digital-only single, released in September 2022.
It was later released as a CD single in December of the same year.
The song was written as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV Tokyo anime SPY×FAMILY.
With its tempo and vocal melody crafted to be easy to hum along to, it’s a track you can casually enjoy singing at karaoke as well.
If you sing it with too much force, it can spoil the song’s atmosphere, so try to keep a light touch throughout the entire piece.
