Songs that get people in their 30s pumped: A collection of nostalgic karaoke-friendly hits (51–60)
cherrysupittsu
Singing this together in April really gets everyone fired up.
I’ve heard that some people from that generation had this song dedicated to them at graduation ceremonies or farewell parties.
As with many Spitz songs, the chorus relies heavily on mixed voice, so it’s quite tough for men to sing in the original key.
Lower the key to the recommended range on the machine and sing it there.
That said, if you can belt it out in the original key without trouble, it’ll hype the room! Hitting high notes early on is difficult, and it gets even tougher later after your throat gets worn out, so if you like this song, I recommend singing it as your 3rd or 4th track once you’ve warmed up.
Happy Summer WeddingMōningu Musume.
The song that Morning Musume released in May 2000 is characterized by a bright, lighthearted tone with a theme of marriage.
Its lyrics, in which a daughter who has grown through her rebellious phase expresses gratitude to her parents, are particularly striking.
The track was also used as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s “Find the Idol!” Its glamorous, India-inspired music video drew attention as well.
It sold about 991,000 copies and was certified a million seller.
If you’re in your 30s, it will surely bring back fond memories.
Sing it together at karaoke, and the excitement is guaranteed to skyrocket!
crescent moonayaka
With a piercingly powerful chorus and an overall mellow tone, this song is known as a karaoke favorite that really gets the crowd going.
It’s most effective if you queue it up in the latter half, once peak time has passed and people are starting to feel a bit tired.
It’s not easy to sing right off the bat, and the range is on the higher side, so practice a few times before performing in front of everyone.
Ayaka has a huge fan base, and since the song was a massive hit in the past, its name recognition is outstanding—especially among people of the same generation.
BUMP to youKetsumeishi
This song is intriguing for the contrast between its club-style electronic beats and its laid-back mood.
It’s the 10th single released in 2004 by the hip-hop group Ketsumeishi.
A sophisticated track that sings about a joyful night spent with “you.”

POISON ~A world where you can’t even say what you want to say~Sorimachi Takashi
This is a song that became a huge hit, sung by the actor Takashi Sorimachi.
The guitar riff in the intro is really cool.
It was the theme song for the drama GTO, starring Takashi Sorimachi.
I bet there are many people now in their thirties who were totally hooked on that show.
IRIS OUTYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s masterpiece “IRIS OUT.” Known as a theme song for the anime Chainsaw Man, this track has been crafted with a rather unusual tone to match the show’s atmosphere.
While it carries an overall rock flavor, you can glimpse gothic elements here and there—likely to align with the series’ world, where devils appear.
It has a somewhat matter-of-fact delivery yet interweaves shouts, making it thoroughly engaging to listen to.
Be sure to check it out.
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.
