Artificial flowers laughACIDMAN
ACIDMAN’s major-label debut song “Zōka ga Warau” (“Artificial Flowers Laugh”).
Released at the exceptional price of 300 yen, it became a nationwide hit thanks to its buzz and solid musicality.
If you’re a man who likes bands from the late 30s era, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
The singable point of this track is its simple vocal line that you can deliver roughly without any problem.
Because the chorus feels like it’s about to surge but never quite does, the overall range is surprisingly narrow.
There’s no vibrato or operatic-style shouts either, so simply singing with a rough, raspy tone like in the original will be more than enough to make it work.
greenCHEHON
CHEHON’s “Midori,” known as an anthem of weed-themed reggae, seems at first like a whisper of love to a woman, but it actually sings about a man’s love for herb.
The melody is crafted into a warm, gentle reggae vibe.
Since it’s performed by a deejay, the vocal line is relatively easy, with a modest range, and the reggae-typical offbeat on the 2 and 4 is set to a very graspable riddim.
It’s also a well-known track, so be sure to check it out.
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!
POISON ~A world where you can’t even say what you want to say~Sorimachi Takashi
This is the fourth single by Takashi Sorimachi, who, despite being a household name as an actor, once pursued a singing career as well.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama GTO, in which he starred, and in recent years it has regained attention thanks to an internet meme claiming that it can stop crying babies when they hear it.
For men in their 30s, it’s a song that everyone knows alongside the drama, and its low-key melody is appealing, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t very confident at karaoke.
The chorus is sure to get everyone singing along and liven up the room!
road; way; path; street; route; Tao (in philosophy)EXILE
If you’re in your 30s, chances are many of you listened to or sang this song a lot.
It starts with a calm first verse that gradually builds, leading into a chorus that explodes with emotion—it’s incredibly cool.
It’s also known as a classic for graduation season, with lyrics about parting and the hope of a new journey that really resonate.
Released in February 2007, it’s included on the album EXILE EVOLUTION.
At karaoke, it’s a great song to save for the end.
If someone confident in their singing takes it on solo, it’s guaranteed to hype up the room!
hologramNICO Touches the Walls
While stylishly digesting influences from Western music and solidly adapting them into a J-pop format, NICO Touches the Walls carved out a unique presence.
Although they sadly disbanded in 2019, many people now in their thirties were likely fans.
Their classic song Hologram is a must-try at karaoke.
As the opening theme for the second season of the hugely popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, even those not deeply familiar with the band have probably heard it.
Its cool, driving energy, emo-rock-style guitar phrases, and soaring vocals deliver a catchy melody that captivates even first-time listeners.
The chorus does include moments with slightly higher notes, but overall the melody is easy to sing; if you have a lower voice, adjusting the key will make it more approachable.

A life-sized love songAqua Timez
It’s one of Aqua Timez’s signature songs, with love-filled lyrics and a catchy melody that truly resonates.
While incorporating a reggae rhythm, it still preserves the warmth and charm of Japanese pop music.
Released in August 2015, the track is included on their debut mini album “Sora Ippai ni Kanaderu Inori.” If you’re singing it at karaoke, I recommend performing it with a close friend or partner.
By sharing the feelings woven into the lyrics, you’ll likely deepen your bond.
