[For men in their 30s] Must-sing karaoke crowd-pleasers (71–80)
You pure motherfuckersKishidan
As a CD single from Kishidan, this is their first new track in an incredible 5 years and 8 months.
Written by Show Ayanokoji, it serves as the theme song for the drama “Donketsu,” airing from April 25, 2025! It’s a hot, rough-and-ready rock band sound that’s quintessentially Kishidan and perfectly matches the yakuza-themed world of the drama.
The melody line is very straightforward, and with the same chorus melody recurring, it shouldn’t be hard to memorize.
Also, as you’d expect from a Kishidan song, the vocal range isn’t too high, making it comfortable for male singers.
It sounds coolest when you sing with a clenched-fist, power-through vibe! Just be careful to keep your throat relaxed and not tense up.
Using gestures helps you naturally loosen up and makes it easier to sing.
Be sure to learn the choreography and have fun singing along!
NEO UNIVERSEL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
L’Arc〜en〜Ciel is a four-member rock band with passionate fans in Japan and abroad, who in 2012 became the first Japanese artist to successfully headline a solo show at Madison Square Garden.
Their 19th single, “NEO UNIVERSE,” released as a double A-side with “finale,” was featured in a Shiseido “PN” commercial.
Because it maintains a consistently high register and features a large melodic leap in the chorus, take care if you try it at karaoke.
With a buoyant, floating pop quality that ties into its title, it’s a track likely to get thirty-somethings—who spent their youth around the year 2000—fired up.
7th TriggerUVERworld
UVERworld is a band that commands overwhelming support from men with their motivational messaging and razor-sharp musicality.
While they have many exhilarating tracks, a lot of them are also quite challenging.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “7th Trigger.” The vocal range in this song is extremely high, spanning from mid2A to hiF, with the chorus repeatedly hitting hiA to hiD.
It’s a piece that stands out for its sheer height, but since there’s room to lower the key, try tackling it in the key that suits you best.
GuaranaSukima Suichi
It’s a classic pop song that makes your heart flutter—brisk acoustic guitar backing and elegant strings weave a refreshing yet somehow wistful sense of speed.
“Guarana” is a single by Sukima Switch released in 2006; it was their first song to reach No.
1 on the Oricon charts and was also used as the theme song for the film “Rough,” released the same year.
When singing it at karaoke, aim for clear enunciation and start by delivering the song’s momentum with powerful vocals.
At the same time, keep your pacing in mind and focus on adding dynamics so you can carry your performance all the way to the end.
Moonlight FlowerJanne Da Arc
Janne Da Arc is a rock band that enjoyed immense popularity thanks to their high level of musicianship, earning them the nickname “the ultimate weapon of visual kei.” Their 23rd single, Gekkouka, used as the opening theme for the TV anime Black Jack, is a track widely known among a broad audience, as it marked their first appearance on the yearly Oricon chart.
The arrangement layers a rock ensemble over spacious piano and strings, making it feel great to sing at karaoke.
With its unhurried melody, it’s an easy-to-sing, lyrical rock tune.
swallowtail butterflyPorunogurafiti
Propelled into the spotlight by the massive success of their major-label debut single “Apollo,” the two-piece rock band Porno Graffitti went on to secure unwavering popularity in the J-pop scene with a string of hits.
This is their sixth single.
Chosen as the CM song for FT Shiseido’s “Tessera Tokonattsu Coconut,” it features a driving Spanish guitar over a Latin beat that really gets your energy up.
The melody is quite fast, making it challenging, but if you can power through it, it’s guaranteed to hype up the crowd.
It’s a track packed with Porno Graffitti’s appeal that we’d love to see men in their 30s sing at karaoke with friends of the same generation.
Feelin’ great! 〜Nothing But Something〜DA PUMP
DA PUMP is a dance and vocal group that has been active for many years.
Early in their career they had a stylish vibe, but as they gained experience they gradually began tackling comic songs and the like, broadening both their musicality and their persona.
Their track “Gokigendaze! ~Nothing But Something~,” judging by the title alone, might seem like a comic song, but in reality it’s more of a then-contemporary R&B-style pop number, finished with a distinctly stylish feel.
