[For men in their 30s] Must-sing, crowd-pleasing karaoke hits (41–50)
Choo Choo TRAINEXILE
An iconic EXILE track known for the members spinning around in the intro! The song originally comes from ZOO, the group that former EXILE member HIRO belonged to, and HIRO participated in the track with both ZOO and EXILE.
On the variety show “Mecha-Ike,” Takashi Okamura from Ninety-Nine also performed a dance to this song as Okazail.

Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
A signature song by Sukima Switch, this pop track carries an encouraging message about dreams and taking on challenges.
With a lively band sound and a fairly fast tempo, you’ll need to keep the beat with your body so you don’t fall behind.
The overall vocal range is C3–A4, and it jumps into the high register in the chorus, so it’s recommended for singers who are good with high notes.
If high notes aren’t your strength, it’s fine to lower the key to make the chorus easier to sing, but be careful not to let the low notes in the verse get lost.
When you sing, lifting your facial muscles right before the chorus will help you hit the first note smoothly!
