[For men in their 30s] Aim for a high karaoke score! (1–10)

Tsubasaandāgurafu

A rock ballad depicting youthful farewells and new departures.

Released on September 22, 2004, it was Under Graph’s major-label debut single, and many people of that generation surely got hooked on Tsubasa! The overall vocal range is E3 to A4, which should be comfortable for men who sing regularly.

If you’re aiming for a high karaoke score, the key is to keep the high notes in the chorus steady and balance power with a touch of wistfulness.

Since the lyrics are clearly articulated, focusing on crisp vowel pronunciation will also help you match the pitch bar more easily.

It also served as the theme song for the anime GTO, which helped it gain worldwide recognition.

The song’s vocal range is quite broad, from mid1 E to hi B.

While hi B is often sung in falsetto, in this song it’s performed with a mixed voice, and it appears frequently—six times in total.

If you’re good with high notes, you’ll likely find the pitch easy to hit, so give it a try.

DOES 'Donten' (TV Tokyo anime 'Gintama' opening theme)
cloudy skyDOES

The renowned trio DOES, formed in Fukuoka, rose to nationwide fame thanks to their signature song “Donten,” released in 2008.

It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Gintama and became a major hit, reaching the top three on the Oricon charts.

The song’s raw, stripped-down guitar sound—made possible by the trio’s minimalist lineup—is incredibly cool, and it’s hugely popular at karaoke.

The rugged, husky vocals and blunt yet moving melody aren’t particularly difficult and are easy to sing, but because the melody doesn’t change much, be mindful to avoid sounding too monotone when you perform it.

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.

March 9Remioromen

A classic that continues to be widely sung as a graduation and wedding song.

The overall vocal range is C3–G4, making it popular as an “easy-to-sing for men” track.

The tempo is relaxed, so you can take solid breaths and prepare while producing your voice comfortably.

Up to the chorus, the melody stays in the lower range, so trace the pitches carefully.

In the chorus the range rises, and if you’re not used to it, you might tense up.

Take a good breath on the beat before the chorus, then release it all at once!

Someday Merry ChristmasB’z

B’z – Itsuka no Merry Christmas
Someday Merry ChristmasB'z

A signature Christmas ballad by B’z that beautifully portrays a bittersweet love story.

The overall vocal range is E3–A4, which is relatively calm for B’z and makes it easier to sing.

To score high at karaoke, the key points are dynamic contrast from the quiet verse into the chorus and stable control of the high notes.

When the chorus hits, the full band sound kicks in and the tempo tends to feel like it’s rushing, so it’s important to sing carefully.

There’s a brief pitch lift in the final chorus that’s crucial—don’t overthink it; just lightly match the pitch bar! Using your hand to gently flick upward as you sing may help you hit it cleanly.

One moreFUNKY MONKEY BABYS

A signature cheer song by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS that encourages people pursuing their dreams and challenges.

The overall vocal range is D3–A4, and aside from the high note at the end of the chorus, it’s generally within an easy-to-sing range.

It’s best to hit the long high G4 squarely on the karaoke pitch bar.

Aim your voice toward that G4 and imagine letting your emotions burst at that moment! It’s important to take in plenty of air with diaphragmatic breathing, so be mindful to breathe without tensing your body.
