Recommended Japanese karaoke songs for men in their 30s (81–90)
scabChi-wata Hidenori
Singer-songwriter Hidenori Chiwata, who made headlines when he resumed activities in 2007 under his real name, Isao Chiwata, released the single “Kasabuta” on April 23, 2003.
The track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Zatch Bell!.
Its lyrics, which evoke the struggles of youth and hope for the future, are likely to bring back memories for those now in their 30s.
It’s also a great choice for karaoke, but be careful not to lose the rhythm, as the melody has many subtle rises and falls and the tempo is fast.
Sync Of SummerYamashita Tatsuro
This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 53rd single, released in July 2023.
It was reportedly written specifically as a song for Kirin’s “Gogo no Kocha” (Afternoon Tea) commercial.
When you think of summer, you think of Tatsuro Yamashita!! That image, combined with the song’s title, makes this a summer anthem overflowing with his signature style that truly evokes the season.
The melody crafted with that trademark Yamashita touch doesn’t span a particularly wide vocal range, so it should be very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.
Throughout the song, it feels best not to overemote—sing it a bit bluntly, with a touch of nonchalance.
Glass BoyYamashita Tatsuro
Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Glass Boy” is flavored with a Spanish-style exotic touch and is a perfect karaoke song for a refreshing, mature singer.
Released in July 1997 as KinKi Kids’ debut single, the song became a major hit.
Night SeaKuwana Masahiro
Masahiro Kuwana’s song “Night Sea” is a romantic and dramatic poetic piece that gently sinks into the heart, evoking deep peace and tenderness.
It’s a highly recommended karaoke choice you’ll want to add to your repertoire as an adult ballad.
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?
White LoversKuwata Keisuke
The most wonderful song with a romantic poem and beautiful melody that I want to sing in the cold season is Keisuke Kuwata’s “Shiroi Koibitotachi” (White Lovers).
It’s a karaoke song I’d love to sing for my girlfriend as one of her Christmas presents.
Released in October 2001 as Kuwata’s seventh single, this track is also well known as a Coca-Cola campaign commercial song.

Cheering Song feat. MOOMINShonan no Kaze
Shonan no Kaze are always by our side, cheering us on.
Sometimes they raise their fists high to fire us up; other times they gently give us a push on the back—their style of encouragement is ever-changing.
This song, “Ouenka feat.
MOOMIN,” is one you’ll want to listen to when life wears you down.
“Don’t give up on your dreams—what happened to the bold, spirited you?” It holds up your faltering heart with a powerful boost.
This manly pep song—like an older brother or a father— is a must-listen for those long, contemplative autumn nights.
If you don’t want to give up on something, give it a spin!
