Songs men like: Japanese classics and popular tracks (71–80)
Midsummer FruitSazan Ōrusutāzu
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.
The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi
Despite being a song released in 1992, it enjoyed a long-running hit and still often appears in karaoke rankings today! This track, a signature song by singer Yasushi Nakanishi, is a mellow, moody love ballad.
Its soaring high notes are striking, and the lyrics’ heartfelt, bittersweet love really resonates.
Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to sing a song like this? Ballads like this are great for showcasing pure vocal ability, so if you’re confident in your singing, definitely give it a try!
In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s “Kudaranai no Naka ni” is one of the ballads I’d love to hear men sing.
What is true love, really…? The answer is packed into this song.
I imagine many women would be happy to hear a man considering marriage sing it.
The lyrics are deeply moving and extremely gentle, so it’s sure to leave a great impression on women! The accompaniment is very quiet, so it takes a bit of courage to sing, but if you can carry it through, you’ll definitely look incredibly cool! Highly recommended for solo acoustic performance, too!
Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
I think many women like love ballads with a masculine vibe.
When a man clearly expresses his feelings and affection, he comes across as straightforward and attractive, doesn’t he? “Junrenka” by Shonan no Kaze is a song with strikingly manly lyrics.
It’s a wonderful love ballad that captures the heart of a man who, after finding a girlfriend, has stopped drifting around and, for the first time, can focus solely on her, overflowing with love.
It features rap-style sections, and aside from the chorus the key isn’t that high, so it’s one of the easier songs for men to sing and comes highly recommended.
dearestFukuyama Masaharu
When it comes to artists I want men to sing, Masaharu Fukuyama is a must.
Among his songs, ‘Saiai’ is a sorrowful love song reflecting on past relationships, but his rich voice, as if weaving each word, draws you in.
Its relaxed tempo makes it easy to follow the lyrics, letting you immerse yourself in the world of the song.
Listening to sad songs while you’re in a relationship can make you feel even more determined to cherish your partner, so it might be nice to intentionally sing it when you’re at karaoke with your girlfriend.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
One of Motohiro Hata’s signature songs was chosen as the theme song for STAND BY ME Doraemon.
Even if you don’t know the whole song, plenty of people have at least heard the chorus! The lyrics seem to reflect the relationship between Doraemon and Nobita.
It’s a widely recognized and popular song among both children and adults, so at karaoke I hope men will sing it with a gentle, caring feeling.
scale (fish/reptile scale)Hata Motohiro
Released in 2007, Motohiro Hata’s “Uroko” is a perfect summer ballad that makes you want to go see someone special when you hear it.
Above all, the soaring chorus that really grips your heart is wonderful! Unlike ballads that plead with a sense of sorrow, this song makes you feel a happy future is ahead.
Even if she doesn’t know this song, many women will recognize Hata’s name from “Himawari no Yakusoku.” It’s a masterpiece you’ll want to play for women who love male-sung ballads.
