This song shows a man’s vulnerability.

He may get timid, and dreams might not match reality, but it still carries a strong message: let’s keep pushing forward! It’s a track that resonates not only with men but also with women.

You might find it especially moving if it’s sung by a man who normally never shows any weakness.

DISH// – Cat [Official Live Video 2019]

This highly relatable song portrays the feelings of a man who can’t let go of a past heartbreak, and in fact, it was written and composed by the singer-songwriter Aimyon.

While lingering attachment is a common theme in breakup songs, this track takes a unique angle by expressing, “I’d be fine even turning into a cat if it means you’d come back.” That distinct touch really showcases Aimyon’s artistry.

Thinking about the protagonist who feels that way is achingly bittersweet, and if you yourself are struggling to move on from a past love, you’ll no doubt find the lyrics resonate with you.

Although ‘Pretender’ is a heartbreak song, its lyrics—honestly expressing a man’s feelings—really move women.

Even the “I like you” that’s hard to say face-to-face becomes easier when put into lyrics.

Even before you start dating, a man who chooses this song gives the impression that he’ll cherish a woman, which is very appealing!

This classic song declares that by facing your own weaknesses and fears head-on and overcoming them, you can meet a new version of yourself.

It drew attention when it was chosen as the theme song for the animated film “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas,” and it also ranked high on the Oricon weekly charts.

If you have the courage to accept everything and confront it, you’ll surely get through tough times.

Highly recommended for men who can’t recover from the shock of a broken heart or who are about to make a fresh start, this piece is also perfect for singing to a woman you’re interested in.

Sharan Q 'Excuse'

This is Sharan Q’s 10th single, released in 1996.

It was the theme song for the drama “Age, 35: Koishikute.” It’s a heartbreak song, but you could also call it a “dark,” male-perspective track.

It features Tsunku♂’s characteristically sticky, lingering lyrics and a decidedly unbright melody.

Looking at the lyrics, you can tell the narrator repeatedly falls in love with women, devotes himself to them, and then is quickly discarded.

Sharan Q “Single Bed” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A man singing a ballad softly can be incredibly attractive to women.

A perfect song to bring out that appeal is Sharam Q’s “Single Bed.” The part in the chorus where you add vibrato like Tsunku is a bit challenging, but if you pull it off, it looks super cool.

The lyrics carry a distinctly male kind of loneliness—subtly different from the loneliness women feel—throughout the song, and it really tugs at the heart.

Practice it a lot and make it your signature song!
