budKobukuro
It’s one of Kobukuro’s biggest hits, released in 2007! The famous story behind this song is that Kobuchi wrote it for his late mother.
With its gentle, soothing melody and lyrics filled with gratitude toward a loved one, it’s so moving that you might find yourself in tears as you listen.
It’s also perfect for karaoke—if two confident male singers perform it, they’re sure to captivate the room.
threadMiyuki Nakajima
Among Japanese ballads, Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito” is a long‑loved classic.
It has been covered by many artists over the years, including Bank Band led by Mr.
Children’s Kazutoshi Sakurai, singer‑songwriter Uru, and Masaki Suda.
Its appeal lies above all in the lyrics’ heartfelt message and the gentle melody line.
Because the song is widely known across generations, it’s a safe choice to sing at karaoke even with people much older or younger than you.
Family SongGen Hoshino
Singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, whose diverse pop sensibilities and talents beyond music have earned him support from a wide range of listeners.
His 10th single, “Family Song,” was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Overprotected Kahoko,” and its intro featuring gentle strings is particularly memorable.
Although the tempo is relaxed, the melody is complex, so I recommend practicing thoroughly before singing it in front of others.
It’s a karaoke song you’ll want men to sing—one that makes you feel warm and kind when you listen.

In the midst of the trivialGen Hoshino
When it comes to Gen Hoshino, many people picture him as someone who excels at upbeat, refreshing songs like his signature tracks “Koi” and “Idea,” but he actually has a lot of ballads that are truly moving as well.
“Kudaranai no Naka ni” is one I really hope people who don’t know it yet will discover.
Hoshino himself has called it the first love song he wrote head-on—a very gentle song about love.
If a guy sang a song like this to you, your opinion of him would instantly go up, wouldn’t it? (lol)
Voice of the SeaUrashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani)
It’s a love ballad sung by Kenta Kiritani as Urashima Taro from the au commercial series “Santaro.” The lyrics depict him singing while thinking of a loved one far away, and the sincerity packed into it is genuinely moving.
Adding to the song’s appeal is Kenta Kiritani’s unadorned vocal tone.
With no affected coolness or embellishment, his voice—just like the feelings expressed in the song—reaches listeners’ hearts directly.
It’s a popular track that’s become a karaoke staple.
My BooShota Shimizu
A simple rap-style ballad is also recommended.
Shota Shimizu’s “My Boo” is a love song from a male perspective, and there’s no doubt everyone can relate to its lyrics.
If you sing it gently, as if speaking to someone like Shota Shimizu does, it will create the right mood.
Be sure to sing this song at karaoke and move your audience.
I like you.Shota Shimizu
This is a song released in 2009 by singer-songwriter Shota Shimizu.
His signature R&B-style track is complemented by his smooth, sweet vocals that resonate beautifully.
The lyrics express feelings for a woman he’s fond of, and it’s well-loved as an unrequited love song.
Many listeners may find the words relatable.
In addition to the soaring vocal parts, there are rap-like sections as well, so it’s a bit challenging, but it’s a wonderful song that’s perfect for karaoke when you want to sing a ballad.
