Songs that get people in their 30s hyped: A roundup of nostalgic karaoke-friendly hits (81–90)
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
Some of you may have the experience of singing it as the theme song for your school’s choir competition.
It’s a song that has been popular with both adults and children since back then.
Because it was used as the official theme song for NHK’s Athens Olympics coverage, some people may have a strong association with that image.
Many were glued to their TVs to cheer on the athletes.
For that reason, this Yuzu song is also very popular at sports festivals.
Sly womanSha ran Q
Back then, I think I used to imitate Tsunku from Sharam Q—his way of singing and his voice.
In my thirties I still had a touch of youthfulness.
I was drawn to the pop melody and sang it without paying much attention to the lyrics.
As I got older, I came to understand the full picture of the “sly woman” the song portrays, and decided, Alright, I’ll become a sly woman too—let’s keep that our little secret.
MelissaPorunogurafiti
I bet a lot of you feel like bursting into song as soon as the intro starts.
It’s one of the signature tracks by the rock band Porno Graffitti.
Released in 2003 as their 12th single, it made waves when it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
The passionately intense vocals and powerful arrangement leave a strong impression.
Just listening to it gets your energy up whether you like it or not.
If you’re going to karaoke with people from the same generation, this cool rock number is a must-recommend!
Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON
Osaka reggae anthem “Inbakuto.” I think it’s rare for people who were in their 20s to have enjoyed it in real time when it was released, but there are probably many who discovered it through CHEHON’s participation in MC battles.
Although the track is structured with few break points, its vocal range is narrow, so as long as you memorize the lyrics and flow, you should be able to sing it without any issues.
It’s a sure-fire hit for guys’ karaoke, so definitely add it to your repertoire.
deep forestDo As Infinity
Do As Infinity, the rock duo that was hugely active in the 2000s.
They’ve left many classic songs, but their most famous track is undoubtedly Deep Forest.
Unlike their rock-oriented works, this piece is crafted as pure J-pop, featuring a vocal line that’s easy to sing throughout.
The tempo is slightly on the slower side of mid-tempo, which makes it exceptionally easy to match pitch.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, so women in their 30s should be able to sing it without any problem.
