Songs Men Like: Classic and Popular Japanese Hits (61–70)
Kanda RiverPrincess Kaguya
It’s a classic that captured the hearts of young people in the Showa era.
Released in September 1973, it achieved an astonishing 1.
6 million sales.
The lyrics portray the daily life of a young couple who are poor but happy.
You can picture nostalgic scenes like their promise to go to the public bath together and the curry rice she cooks.
It beautifully conveys the views on love and the feel of everyday life among students at the time, and it warms the heart every time you listen.
For those in their 60s, it’s surely a treasured song that revives memories of their youth.
Summer Colorsyuzu
When I think of refreshing songs that men can sing, Yuzu’s tracks come to mind.
Their bright, poppy, refreshing melodies pair beautifully with the duo’s pleasant vocals.
Even from a female perspective, I think few people find Yuzu’s songs hard to get into.
Among their tracks, the most popular “Natsuiro” is one that almost everyone knows, and its upbeat vibe makes it easy to groove to, so I recommend it.
If a man is going to sing it, the key is quite high, so lowering it a bit in the settings might make it easier to sing.
Like tonight's moonElephant Kashimashi
This is the 15th single by Elephant Kashimashi, a four-piece rock band with a loyal following thanks to their distinctive sound that incorporates various styles such as alternative rock and industrial rock.
The song was produced as the theme for the TV drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara” (“Because It’s a Moonlit Night”) and is also known for bringing Elephant Kashimashi to a wider audience.
Its lyrical melody exudes a masculine appeal, which may make many women want to hear men sing it.
However, because it features large melodic leaps, be sure to practice so you don’t go off-pitch before tackling it at karaoke.
balladKetsumeishi
When it comes to classic love songs popular among women, Ketsumeishi’s “Ballad” stands out.
The music video centers on the theme of an unattainable love story, making it especially beloved not only by women nursing a crush, but also by those carrying feelings they know will never be fulfilled.
Precisely because of its bittersweet theme, the lyrics—expressing straightforward affection for someone precious—resonate deeply.
It’s a quintessential love ballad that makes women think, “I want to be loved like this,” so it’s definitely one to keep in mind.
budKobukuro
A song by Kobukuro known as a classic that leaves a deep imprint on people’s hearts.
It gently sings of feelings for one’s mother, family love, and the themes of loss and renewal.
Warm tones woven by acoustic guitar and strings blend with moving lyrics to deeply touch listeners.
Released in November 2007 and winner of the 49th Japan Record Awards, this piece is a signature song by Kobukuro that continues to be beloved by many.
It’s a recommended track when you want to sing with thoughts for someone important or to encourage someone.
If you sing it at karaoke, you might even win the heart of a woman you’re interested in.
Midsummer FruitSouthern All Stars
At summer karaoke, high-energy party anthems are great, but ballads like this one are also highly recommended.
Songs by artists who can project a masculine allure—like Keisuke Kuwata—are especially good picks! Plenty of women love husky or deep voices.
This song is beloved across generations and has even been covered by younger artists, so its name recognition is outstanding.
When you’re at karaoke, read the room and save it for the perfect moment to really make an impression.
#302Ken Hirai
Ken Hirai, one of Japan’s most outstanding male vocalists.
When it comes to singing heartrending love songs, no one can beat him! “#302” is a track that portrays a poignant love story set in a karaoke room.
The song unfolds alongside the narrative.
The depictions of the scenery and atmosphere surrounding the two are so vivid that you’re drawn into the world of the song from the very first lines.
In contrast, the protagonist’s candid feelings are expressed in simple words, which makes them feel all the more human.
Because the song is set in a karaoke setting, you might find your heart skipping a beat if someone sings it!
