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!

SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu

Masaharu Fukuyama is undoubtedly one of Japan’s most iconic figures, both as a singer-songwriter and as an actor.

It’s truly remarkable that he has continued to release hit songs from the 1990s through the Reiwa era.

While each generation likely has its own “Fukuyama songs,” Sakura-zaka, released in 2000, is a quintessential Heisei-era classic that achieved a record-breaking double million in sales.

Some may find ballads challenging, but the simply crafted melody line makes it easy to sing, and the relatively low key makes it approachable for those with lower voices.

If you carefully follow the scale, you can definitely aim for a high karaoke score; at the same time, the song’s charm lies in its lower register, so if you’re not confident with low melodies, this is a great piece to practice with.

Long versionInagaki Junichi

Junichi Inagaki’s “Long Version” is a very moody song with outstanding lyrics and a beautiful melody.

Although about three decades have passed since its release in 1983, a masterpiece never loses its luster.

It’s recommended as a love song for a man in his thirties to sing to his girlfriend.

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

Masaki Suda, who is active both as an actor and a singer.

His song “Sayonara Elegy” is my top recommendation for men in their 30s: it’s easy to sing at karaoke and really livens up the room.

The song’s vocal range is just over one octave, which makes it accessible even for people who struggle with very high or very low notes—another reason it’s a great pick.

Although it was released in 2018, it has a vibe that’s somewhat reminiscent of 90s music, making it familiar and comfortable for people in their 30s.

The rhythm in the final chorus drop has a bit of a quirk, so focus your practice on that part!

Fujii Kaze – Hana (Official Video)
FlowerFuji Kaze

A signature song by Fujii Kaze with a soothing piano tone.

His expressive vocals stand out as he sings gently over a laid-back R&B rhythm.

The profound lyrics, which explore self-discovery and the meaning of life, are sure to resonate with men in their 30s.

Released in October 2023, it became a hot topic as the theme song for the drama “The Best Favorite (Ichiban Suki na Hana).” The music video set in a desert, where colors vividly pop, is also a must-see.

It’s a great pick not only when you want to get the crowd going at karaoke, but also when you want to spend a special moment with someone important.

This work is packed with Fujii Kaze’s charm—be sure to give it a listen.

TRUE LOVEFujii Fumiya

One of Fumiya Fujii’s signature songs, “TRUE LOVE,” was the theme song for the TV drama Asunaro Hakusho and is a classic that debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon Singles Chart.

With its gentle, wistful, and poetic atmosphere, it’s a recommended karaoke choice for men in their 30s.

PrayerNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi is a singer-songwriter who has created and released many wonderful songs, and “Inori” (Prayer) is one of his signature tracks from his early career.

It’s a truly lovely song that conveys warmth and kindness, making it a perfect love song for men in their 30s.
