[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that were a hit back then (51–60)
A full moon that only blooms at nightONE OK ROCK
The first major-label masterpiece, Zeitakubyou.
This track, “A Full Moon That Only Blooms at Night,” is included on that classic.
Being an early work, the album has a very strong Japanese rock flavor, and among its songs, this one is exceptionally easy to sing.
The vocal range is narrow at mid1 G# to hi C#, and the pitch movement isn’t too drastic.
However, since there tend to be few natural break points, make sure to plan your breathing spots in advance.
Other than that, there aren’t any particularly difficult sections, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
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.
Bees and ButterfliesSOUL SCREAM
This is a smash hit by Soul Scream, a straight-shooting artist immensely popular among people in their 30s, and one of the most well-known names in Japanese rap.
The melody hardly changes, making it easy to sing, and the rapid-fire sections are perfect for showing off your skills at karaoke—highly recommended as a karaoke song.
Dance, please.DISH//
DISH//’s masterpiece “Odoryanse,” released for streaming in September 2025.
It’s a highly unique track, featuring a deliberately shallow, distinctive autotune applied throughout.
While the overall flow leans toward J-rock, the pre-chorus shifts into a slightly reggae-like feel, and the chorus unfolds with a somewhat visual kei-style, heavy, oozing melody.
Because the song packs so many shifts into a single track, it’s not the easiest to sing, but it’s a piece you can definitely expect to get a crowd fired up.

March 9Remioromen
This is Remioromen’s second single (third release overall), released in March 2004.
Since it’s an acoustic slow ballad, some people who aren’t confident singers might hesitate to sing it.
However, the melody itself has a traditional Japanese folk-song feel and is very familiar, so there’s not much to worry about there.
Some may find the chorus sections, where you have to belt out the notes, a bit tough in terms of key, so be careful when setting the key.
In ballad-style songs like this, if you get impatient and rush the rhythm, it can sound very amateurish, so listen closely to the backing track and be careful not to push the tempo when you sing.
Close your eyesHirai Ken
This is Ken Hirai’s 20th single, released in April 2004.
It was written specifically as the theme song for Toho’s film “Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World,” and it was reportedly Hirai’s first time providing a theme song for a movie.
The song became a major hit, achieving million-selling status with total shipments exceeding one million copies.
Ken Hirai is a singer with exceptionally high vocal skill and expressive power, and he delivers a stunning performance in this track as well.
Yet the song itself is built on a very simple, gentle melody, making it a recommended choice for anyone to sing at karaoke.
When you sing it, try placing the sound against your upper palate inside your mouth; this helps reproduce a voice rich in high-order overtones like his.
As mentioned, it’s a very tender ballad, so take care to keep your tone and breathing smooth and controlled while you sing.
First loveHata Motohiro
It’s Motohiro Hata’s 14th single, released in January 2013.
It was also selected as the official image song for the Fukuoka exhibition of “100 Years Since the ‘Discovery’ of Machu Picchu: Inca Empire Exhibition.” It’s a beautiful ballad.
Because Hata’s voice is a bit high and it’s a ballad, I think quite a few people who aren’t confident singers may feel hesitant to try this song.
However, the actual melodic range isn’t that wide, so as long as you choose the right key, many people should be able to sing it without much trouble.
Rather than aiming for a perfectly clean falsetto or mixed voice, I feel that even if it’s a bit of a push, belting it out in chest voice might make it a performance that “really reaches the listener.”
