Point of No ReturnCHEMISTRY meets S.O.S.
Another must-sing song is “Point of No Return” by CHEMISTRY, a male duo that represents the Heisei era.
The song’s selling point is, without a doubt, its harmonies.
If possible, I recommend splitting Dochin’s and Kawabata’s parts and singing it as a duo.
Since it starts right from the chorus, it’s best to lift the energy from the very beginning.
For the part that feels like “a guy who’s lost and heartbroken,” please sing gently.
Speaking of CHEMISTRY, it brings back memories of TV Tokyo’s popular show ASAYAN.
I bet many of you watched it.
Ami Suzuki, Morning Musume, Chizuru Ikewaki, Daisuke Asakura, and others all came from that show.
It’s a highly recommended song that’s full of memories in every way.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
MONGOL800’s “Chiisana Koi no Uta” features an unadorned, straightforward vocal that really hits you in the heart.
It’s also a song that’s been covered by many different artists.
Its appeal lies in the simple band sound and vocals, and precisely because it’s so simple, it resonates with listeners.
It’s a popular track that consistently ranks high in karaoke rankings.
Even if you’re not confident at karaoke, this song has a stable key and is easy to sing.
If you feel like there aren’t many songs you can sing, definitely give this one a try!
brilliant; radiant; glittering; bright (sunlight)Daichi Miura
Daichi Miura, who has won many fans for his outstanding dance performances and powerful vocals.
His song “Sansan” was released in 2022 and was written as the theme song for the NHK morning drama “Chimudondon,” set in Okinawa.
As a theme specifically composed for the drama, this piece sings of family love—a song you’ll definitely want to perform in a way that truly “lets the listener feel it.” It’s a ballad that can fill listeners with warmth.
Try singing it gently and with heartfelt emotion.
Close your eyesKen Hirai
Released in 2004, this song by Ken Hirai became so famous that almost everyone knows it, partly because it was the theme song for the blockbuster film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World.” The arrangement by Seiji Kameda—also known as the bassist of Tokyo Jihen—really shines.
Since it’s a Ken Hirai song, a certain level of vocal ability is desirable, but if you can sing it well, it’s a track that’s likely to be very popular with women.
It’s one of the ballads I’d recommend to those comfortable with slightly higher keys.
Christmas songback number
“Christmas Song” by back number is a hit released in 2015.
It was also selected as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “5→9: From Five to Nine,” and won a Best Drama Song award.
With a tempo that isn’t too fast and a key that isn’t too high, it’s easy for men in their forties to sing.
The lyrics, which portray the pain of unrequited love and the loneliness of Christmas, resonate deeply when sung with rich emotion by an adult man.
Whether you’ve had bitter experiences or not, this song invites empathy and is sure to captivate the women who listen.
MiracleGReeeeN
Kiseki is a gem that beautifully fuses stirring lyrics with an exhilarating melody line.
Among GReeeeN’s songs, it’s especially well-known and loved by listeners of all ages.
Its memorable melody, when performed at karaoke by a man in his 40s, brings a sense of nostalgia and comfort to the audience.
The passionate messages woven into the lyrics evoke bonds with friends and family, making it a crowd-pleasing choice for scenes where everyone sings and has fun together.
Why not try singing this song—one that resonates powerfully in listeners’ hearts—at your next karaoke gathering?
Can't Say Anything... SummerTHE JAYWALK
Even among the countless classic and hit summer songs of the ’90s, many people would say this one left a particularly deep impression.
Released by J-WALK in 1991, it became one of their signature songs, known for its heartbreaking lyrics and long-running sales.
In fact, this track, Nani mo Ienakute.
.
.
Natsu (I Can’t Say Anything.
.
.
Summer), is the summer version of Nani mo Ienakute from their 1990 album.
Plenty of people likely admire Koichi Nakamura’s husky voice—radiating mature charm and allure—and sing it at karaoke.
Overall, it’s a relatively easy, singable song, but when delivering the soaring high notes in the chorus smoothly, be careful to keep your vibrato natural and time your breaths correctly.
