Recommended Japanese pop songs for karaoke for men in their 30s (11–20)
riceDISH//
The four-member rock band DISH//.
While they’re a band, they also have idol-like popularity and enjoy tremendous support from women.
Among DISH//’s songs, the one I especially recommend to men in their 30s is Gohan.
DISH// tend to have many glittery, female-friendly tracks, but this one is crafted with a slightly grittier, earthier melody.
Kitamura Takumi’s vocals may make that less obvious, but if you’re a man in your 30s, wouldn’t you be able to bring out that grittiness even more?
Shanghai HoneyORANGE RANGE
Recently, ORANGE RANGE has enjoyed a cross-generational revival hit and is once again drawing public attention.
They’ve produced many classic songs, and for men in their 30s, every track likely holds special memories.
Among their works, one I especially recommend is Shanghai Honey.
Released in 2003, it was composed on a foundation of the then-trending mixture rock.
It carries a somewhat West Coast vibe, characterized by a laid-back yet distinctly dope feel.
CultureKitanitatsuya
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
Even among men in their early thirties, many likely listen to his music.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Culture.
While it has a somewhat synth-pop, refreshing sound, its message runs deep, and its abstract yet memorable lines leave listeners with something to ponder.
The music video by Barbapapa—known for “Vwieh” and “A Slightly Left-Leaning Educational Program”—is also a highlight!
MelissaPorunogurafiti
Porno Graffitti is a musical duo that still enjoys strong, enduring popularity.
Among men in their thirties, more than half probably sing their songs quite often.
Of all their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Melissa.
It’s memorable for its sharp, punchy chorus, which carries a slight Latin flavor.
The A and B verses feel like refreshing rock, and the contrast creates a distinctive atmosphere.
Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira
The famous song “Seishun Amigo,” known as the theme for the popular drama Nobuta wo Produce, is sung by the duo Shuuji to Akira—Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi.
It features a passionate melody with a slight kayōkyoku flavor, yet it also carries a certain laid-back, Heisei-era nonchalance that leaves an impression.
Although falsetto appears, the overall range is narrow, so even men in their 30s can sing it comfortably while reminiscing.
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi
Kazuyoshi Saito’s classic hit “Yasashiku Naritai.” If you’re a man in your 30s, it’s safe to say you know this song.
People discovered it in various ways, but the most common might be through the drama “I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper,” which became a social phenomenon.
The song has a somewhat decadent rock vibe, but perhaps because the lyrics are full of hope, it doesn’t feel self-deprecating the way songs in this style sometimes can.
It’s especially popular with men, so try singing it at karaoke when you’re out with your guy friends!

Stellar DaysHata Motohiro
Stellar Days by Motohiro Hata, famed as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun,” is a masterpiece.
While the anime centers on romance, the lyrics carry a somewhat grand impression, yet they mesh well with the show, making the song highly memorable.
It leans toward the emotional side, and the verses through the pre-chorus evoke a dreamlike atmosphere.
With so many facets packed into a single track, it’s a piece that grows richer the more you listen.
