spring thunderKenshi Yonezu
It’s a song by Kenshi Yonezu that almost everyone knows by now.
What’s especially noteworthy is that, although it’s a love song, it never once uses words like “like” or “love,” yet it captures the dynamics of romance beautifully.
Whether you’re a couple or married, if you go to karaoke, I’d love for the man to give this one a try.
Even though it’s a love song, I don’t think you’ll feel embarrassed singing it.
Real FaceKAT-TUN
This is the debut song of KAT-TUN, a popular group from Johnny’s.
The sheer impact and presence they showed right from their debut became a hot topic at the time.
It’s a cool track that’s easy to sing at karaoke and perfect for getting everyone hyped together.
dororoASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, affectionately known as “Ajikan,” is very popular among men.
Their song “Dororo” was written as the opening theme for the 2019 TV anime Dororo, based on Osamu Tezuka’s original work.
It’s a powerful rock track where the thick low end pairs perfectly with the drum beats.
Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number
This one is for men who’ve fallen for a woman who feels completely out of their league: back number’s “Takaneno Hanako-san.” As the title suggests, the lyrics compare the singer to a woman like a high-born “Hanako,” and that slightly self-pitying tone is something many men can relate to.
Strangely enough, it’s a masterpiece that leaves you feeling positive once it’s over.
