Recommended Japanese songs for karaoke for men in their 30s (21–30)
Farewell, tearsKetsumeishi
This is the number-one song to cheer up your subordinates: if you invite a junior colleague who’s struggling or upset at work out for karaoke, have a drink together, and sing Ketsumeishi’s “Saraba Namida” for them, it will undoubtedly boost your credibility as a wonderfully caring and thoughtful boss.
Killer tune!Oizumi Yo
It’s a song that was released as a digital-only single on August 14, 2025, and since it was also produced as the CM song for “LIVE DAM WAO!,” its theme is karaoke—so it seems like it would really hype people up when you actually sing it at karaoke! Plus, it’s a fresh, up-tempo track, so I think it will look and sound great in a karaoke setting.
It’ll likely be easier to sing if you memorize the lyrics to some extent beforehand.
The chorus in particular has a lot of words and moves quickly.
That said, the lyrics rhyme like a rap, so once you lock into the groove, it should be easier to sing.
If you’re keeping time in 4/4, putting an accent on the first beat of the intro gives it a driving, forward-leaning feel that makes it easier to deliver.
Rather than trying to articulate every single word, let the lyrics ride the melody.
I recommend humming while you’re learning the song—try it in a relaxed state!
Someday, in a world of nothingnessmakaroni enpitsu
In addition to general rock, Macaroni Empitsu is a band with a wide musical range, from psychedelic to hard rock.
For men who like Japanese rock, you could say they’re an extremely popular band.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka Nani mo Nai Sekai de.
Although the song sits in an easy-to-sing range of mid1 A to hi A, it still builds excitement properly, and in the chorus you can let out a big voice with a near-shouted feel.
The scat-like section at the end of the chorus starts with a shout, so it’s good to aim for a slightly more vigorous, rough vocal style.
single bedSha ran Q
This is Sharam Q’s sixth single, released in October 1994.
It was also used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime “D·N·A²: Dokoka de Nakushita Aitsu no Aitsu,” and it became a long-selling hit, marking Sharam Q’s first million-selling single.
So as of July 2023, many people in their 30s have likely heard it.
As this was the 1990s, when the karaoke market was considered crucial for a song’s success, the track is structured to be very easy to remember and sing.
It’s a song I highly recommend even for those who don’t usually sing much.
Since it’s a slightly slow-tempo song, just be careful not to get ahead of the beat when you sing.
ChinatownYazawa Eikichi
Released in 1978, the song that is artistic, transparent, and refreshing—creating a uniquely pleasant musical space—is Eikichi Yazawa’s “Chinatown.” It’s a refreshingly cool, adult karaoke song that’s perfect to sing during the hot summer season.
OrangeSMAP
This is an autumn classic by SMAP, who have established a solid position as representative idols of Johnny’s, delivering a glittering, pleasing listening experience.
With modern yet approachable, down-to-earth lyrics, it’s a popular song recommended for men in their 30s.
protagonistSUPER BEAVER
This is the song chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t really have the image of being “high” in pitch, and the vocal range of this song, “Shujinkou,” is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so I think many men can sing it mostly in chest voice! Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide cue before the vocals come in.
Also, because it’s a band song, if you stay aware of the drums and move your body to the beat as you sing, it’s easier to keep rhythm, it locks in with the melody, and your voice will come out more easily! The opening is already the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, make sure to project the very first consonant without hesitation! For the long notes, keep your eye on the pitch bar all the way to the end!
