Recommended Japanese karaoke songs for men in their 30s (41–50)

Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON

The chorus of this signature track by reggae DJ CHEHON is probably familiar to anyone in their 30s.

The video of him performing it on THE FIRST TAKE has apparently surpassed 10 million views.

In rap, rhythm matters more than pitch.

The first half has a lot of words and keeps a similar rhythm for a while, but in the latter half a more relaxed new rhythm appears, and nailing that switch makes it especially satisfying to sing.

It’s a song that naturally gets your body moving and lifts your mood, so rather than trying to sing it perfectly, approach it with the mindset of having fun and give it a try.

GO!!!FLOW

FLOW “GO!!!” Music Video (TV Anime “NARUTO” Opening Theme)
GO!!!FLOW

GO!!! by FLOW, one of their signature songs and the opening theme for the anime NARUTO.

With its driving momentum, it’s a staple in their live shows and feels very band-oriented.

The song structure builds excitement—verse (A) to pre-chorus (B) to chorus—making it a very satisfying listen.

The vocal range, D#3 to B4, is accessible for the average male singer, but be cautious: the pitch rises slightly at the start of the B section, so avoid forcing your voice and straining your throat.

At a brisk tempo of 135 BPM, it’s highly rhythmic, and the chorus features FLOW’s signature rap.

Since FLOW has two vocalists, try trading lines with a partner or getting the crowd involved when you sing it!

Thank you!!HOME MADE kazoku

HOME MADE Kazoku’s “Thank You!!” is their third single overall and served as the second ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime BLEACH.

At HOME MADE Kazoku’s live shows, instead of fans shouting “Encore!”, they reportedly sing the chorus of “Thank You!!”.

One notable feature of this song is its wide vocal range, spanning A2 to G4.

KURO, who handles the lower parts, mainly sings within the octave starting at A2, while lead vocalist MICRO sings an octave above KURO.

Their call-and-response is wonderful, isn’t it? Although the range is wide, the overall pitch isn’t that high, so it’s relatively easy for men to sing.

Since it’s hip hop, try keeping time with your hands while you sing!

RADWIMPS’ “September-san” is a track included on an album released in 2006, and it’s a laid-back song you can sway your body to while singing.

RADWIMPS often has songs on the higher side, but this one isn’t that high, with a lowest note of A2 and an average pitch around D4.

The range rises a bit in the pre-chorus, so singing with a smooth, driving flow helps the song come together.

Noda’s vocal timbre is distinctive, but if you can produce an overall soft tone, your singing will resemble his more—so try performing it gently.

A third of pure-hearted feelingsSIAM SHADE

Although they disbanded once in 2002, SHIAM SHADE has captivated fans with several temporary reunions.

This signature song of theirs is widely known as the ending theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.

Its structure is very straightforward: the chorus comes first, followed by verse A and verse B, building excitement.

The beginning of verse A hits the song’s lowest note, D#3, which might be a bit low even for male singers.

Be careful not to let your voice get muffled in this part.

Another challenging aspect of the song is the rhythm.

In the chorus, if you sing it in a typical 4/4 feel, it won’t lock in with the backing drums and will sound flat.

Try singing it with a driving triplet feel instead—you’ll sound much cooler! It may be difficult until you get used to it, but definitely give it a try.

Hold me, señoritaYamashita Tomohisa

Tomohisa Yamashita (Yamashita Tomohisa) Daite Señorita [2014 version]
Hold me, señoritaYamashita Tomohisa

Tomohisa Yamashita, known by his nickname Yamapi, was a member of the idol group NEWS from 2003 to 2011.

In 2006, Yamapi released his long-awaited debut solo single, Daite Señorita, which was used as the theme song for the TBS drama Kurosagi.

The song’s intro is cool and memorable.

As an idol song, its vocal range is relatively narrow, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident with high notes.

The opening of the first verse is quite low, so it may be tricky to hit the pitches, but if you sing carefully, you’ll be fine.

There’s also a simple choreography in the chorus, so try enjoying it while keeping the rhythm.

Released in June 2001, Porno Graffitti’s sixth single and one of their signature songs, “Agehachō,” is a rhythmic, exotic, and passionate track.

It’s a stylish, cool song perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke, and it has a charm that feels completely natural even when sung by men in their 30s.
