For Men in Their 30s: Aim for High Karaoke Scores! (51–60)

sailing dayBUMP OF CHICKEN

In fact, BUMP OF CHICKEN’s very first anime tie-in song was “sailing day.” Released in 2003 as a double A-side single together with “Lost Man,” it’s a classic noted for its guitar sound and melodies that deliver that distinctly BUMP-like, heart-searing sense of wistful speed.

Many people now in their 30s probably fire up this song at karaoke with friends of the same generation when it’s time to get the party going.

Looking at the melody, the overall range is relatively wide: in true Fujiwara style, it showcases calm low tones in the first half and then opens up into soaring highs in the chorus.

Those who are used to singing should handle it without trouble.

If your voice is on the lower side, adjusting the key will make it perfectly manageable.

Artificial flowers laughACIDMAN

ACIDMAN’s major-label debut song “Zōka ga Warau” (“Artificial Flowers Laugh”).

Released at the exceptional price of 300 yen, it became a nationwide hit thanks to its buzz and solid musicality.

If you’re a man who likes bands from the late 30s era, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

The singable point of this track is its simple vocal line that you can deliver roughly without any problem.

Because the chorus feels like it’s about to surge but never quite does, the overall range is surprisingly narrow.

There’s no vibrato or operatic-style shouts either, so simply singing with a rough, raspy tone like in the original will be more than enough to make it work.

DepartureFUNKY MONKEY BABYS

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ seventh single, “Tabidachi” (“Departure”).

Released in 2008, it didn’t become an explosive hit, but it still enjoyed moderate success: it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Bokutachi to Chuzaishan no 700 Nichi Sensō” (The 700 Days’ War: Us and the Police Officer) and reached No.

10 on the Oricon weekly chart.

Men in their early 30s may find it familiar.

In short, the song features a fairly simple, uniform vocal line with very gentle pitch movement.

However, it contains a fair number of long notes and the overall range is somewhat high, so it’s necessary to set the key so you can sustain long tones at a relatively high pitch.

Song of JoyMONGOL800

MONGOL800 is a band from Okinawa.

While they have numerous hit songs such as “Chiisana Koi no Uta,” I’d like to recommend a slightly more niche track here: “Yorokobi no Uta.” Unlike most of their songs, this one features a reggae-style rhythm with distinctive off-beats on the 2 and 4.

The vocals are calm and somewhat languid, and since there aren’t many long sustained notes, it should be easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their vocal power or lung capacity.

Be kind to othersTHE BLUE HEARTS

This song has no intro and starts singing right from the beginning.

The first note is E4, a mid-range pitch, so if you take a good breath and prepare before the song starts, you’ll likely produce a steady voice.

It begins without the backing band, so practice repeatedly to align the timing of the lyrics with the point where the band comes in.

Once you get past that, strong drums kick in, and if you listen closely to the backing track while you sing, you’ll be able to ride the groove.

The average pitch used in this song is C4, so overall it’s not high.

If you clearly separate each phrase and take a breath each time, it should make it easier to keep the rhythm.

The call-and-response parts in the song are energizing, so sing them with gusto! To avoid straining your throat, try projecting your voice as if you’re aiming into the distance.

You’ll likely find your voice comes out comfortably!
