L’Arc~en~Ciel celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2021.

The song “Kasou (Funeral of Flowers)” was released in 1998 and became a hot topic as one of three singles released simultaneously alongside “HONEY” and “Shinsoku ~lose control~.” It’s a highly popular number among L’Arc fans, and many people in their 40s have surely heard it—and likely sung it as well.

With its title and lyrics, it’s a mid-tempo track that exudes a unique atmosphere; if you pour your emotions into singing it, it’s a song that draws anyone in.

balladKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi’s “Ballad” is a song I’d love to see men in their 40s perform at karaoke.

While reviving a hit from their youth, its delicate, evolved lyrics convey the deep emotions that only adults can express.

True to its title, the ballad’s gentle melody is sure to resonate with women.

The bittersweet feelings of married men toward unmarried women stand out even more thanks to the quiet arrangement that demands strong vocal ability.

Even Ketsumeishi’s signature rap is elevated into something moving, turning a night of karaoke into something special.

Saudade, a signature song by Porno Graffitti with a striking Latin-flavored sound.

The title comes from Portuguese and is said to mean “nostalgia” or “bittersweet memories,” and the lyrics recount bittersweet memories of love from a woman’s perspective.

It might be a bit challenging for men in their 40s to sing at karaoke, but if you’re eager to give it a try, the key is to enunciate as clearly as possible! Since the tempo is on the fast side, if you run out of breath easily or struggle with high notes, try lowering the key—it might make it a bit easier to sing.

Powder Snow – Remioromen (Full)

On cold winter days or snowy days, the winter song you’ll want to listen to is probably Remioromen’s “Konayuki.” The way the vocals build as it approaches the chorus is really memorable! It’s also a popular karaoke song, so you can’t go wrong picking this timeless track even now.

Since the key suddenly jumps higher in the chorus, that part can be tricky to sing.

If you’re not confident with high notes, I recommend lowering the key from the start.

Give it a try!

A song with the warm tone of an acoustic guitar and Fumiya Fujii’s sweet, resonant vocals.

Its very simple sound conveys, just as the title suggests, the message that true love needs no unnecessary adornment.

Released in 1993 as the second single under Fujii’s solo name, it remains a staple wedding song to this day.

It’s a ballad that brims with emotion, expressing both the manly spirit of the leader who once fronted the era-defining band The Checkers and a delicate sensitivity.

It’s perfect for evoking the refined allure of someone who has journeyed through the times.
