Yusaku Kiyama, who debuted from the singer audition program “UtaSuta!!,” released this song “home” in 2008 as the 20th project single from the show.
Many people will recognize it the moment the chorus starts—“Oh, that song!” While there are plenty of songs about mothers or a mother’s love for her child, this one is a “song from a father to his child.” Sung while thinking of family, “home” is undeniably cool—a deeply moving anthem of family love.

Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
It might make you a little bashful, but how about trying a love song that expresses a man’s straightforward feelings? This song, “Junrenka,” was released by Shonan no Kaze in 2006 and became a long-running hit.
It’s a gentle piece like a letter to someone you love, looking back on how he met his beloved girlfriend while pouring out honest affection.
You could sing it while reminiscing about a past romance, or dedicate it to someone special by your side right now—either way, it’s sure to get everyone excited!
single bedSha ran Q
This is Sharam Q’s sixth single, released in October 1994.
It was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime D・N・A²: A Girl Who’s Lost in Another World, and it became Sharam Q’s first million-selling hit.
It’s a classic, laid-back rock ballad! The way the lyrics fit the vocal melody is very straightforward, and the melodic range is easy for anyone to sing.
Even people who don’t usually sing will find it very approachable.
If you memorize the lyrics and sing with feeling, it will sound even better, so definitely give it a try!
SPARKTHE YELLOW MONKEY
This is a rock number by THE YELLOW MONKEY that sings of passionate love.
It paints a worldview where you close your eyes and share a space with the night, and within its sensual expressions lies a pure heart wishing for eternal love.
The energetic guitar riffs and rhythm section leave a strong impression, and Kazuya Yoshii’s distinctive vocals resound over the dynamic sound.
Released in July 1996, the song drew attention as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Handsome Man.” It was also included on the album “SICKS” and reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It’s a perfect song for enjoying karaoke with friends, full of a charm that lets everyone open their hearts and sing along.
My Father’s Longest Daysadamasashi
Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.
Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.
Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.
The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?
Goodbye OceanSugiyama Kiyotaka
Kiyotaka Sugiyama is a key figure you can’t leave out when talking about Japanese AOR and city pop.
In his early days he leaned toward rock, but later he grew interested in R&B and soul, which led him to sing city pop that suited his vocal range.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is Sayonara no Ocean.
It features a characteristically city-pop, expansive vocal line, but the melodic contours are gentle, so as long as you find the right key, anyone can sing it with ease.
