For Men in Their 30s: Nostalgic Music. Recommended Popular Songs (21–30)
Song of Springsupittsu
For men in their 30s, many are probably spending their days so busy with work that they have little time for hobbies or to just relax.
When you start feeling frustrated with days like that, I recommend Spitz’s “Haru no Uta” (Spring Song).
Released in 2005, it’s Spitz’s 30th single.
It’s a track that resonates with people who work hard every day and lifts you up when you’re feeling down.
It’s also a great pick for karaoke.
Wonderful DaysUNICORN
Unicorn, the band led by Tamio Okuda—an almost charismatic figure for men in their thirties.
One of their hit songs, ‘Subarashii Hibi,’ is a track brimming with the allure of its languid melody.
It’s a masterpiece from shortly after his debut, before he would go on to produce numerous massive hits through his solo work and songwriting for others.

Tonight is Boogie BackOzawa Kenji feat. Suchadarapaa
It’s a slightly old song, but it’s been covered by many artists and passed down, hasn’t it? More recently, there’s ROTTENGRAFFTY, for example.
I remember being amazed at the time, thinking, “Wow, a song like this in Japanese!” Precisely because it’s such an impressive piece, it remains a beloved classic even now.

![migratory bird[Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/O_DLtVuiqhI/sddefault.jpg)
[Alexandros]’s 10th single.
It was featured in a commercial for Asahi The Dream beer and used as the theme song for the film Akebono.
The song’s appeal lies in its exhilarating, fast-paced sound and distinctive high notes in the chorus.
It fills you with a bright, positive feeling that makes you want to break into a run.
EXITEXILE
This song was a hit back when SHUN was still a member.
Its refreshing melody resonates with men in their 30s.
It was the theme song for the drama “The Queen’s Classroom,” and since it played at the end of a heavy, serious show, many people probably felt a striking contrast.
Beyond the Night SkySuga Shikao
This song, Yozora no Mukou (Beyond the Night Sky), is famous as the first million-selling single by SMAP.
People in their 30s are the generation that hit SMAP right on the mark, and many probably sing it at karaoke.
The video is a self-cover by the composer, Shikao Suga.
It shows how a completely different atmosphere emerges when the singer changes.
LOVE YOU ONLYTOKIO
This song is TOKIO’s debut single, and its refreshingly pure lyrics—so different from their current style—really make you think, “Yep, that’s a Johnny’s song.” Since it expresses a man’s innocent feelings toward a woman, singing it at karaoke might just win over the hearts of the women listening.
