UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Sugar Song and Bitter Step” MV

I think there are many men in their 30s who like anime songs.

For such anime song fans in their 30s, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is probably one of the most popular bands.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Sugar Song and Bitter Step.” Its appeal lies in the seamless succession of high-pitched phrases that feel light yet deliver an exceptional sense of liberation.

If you watched Blood Blockade Battlefront as it aired, be sure to try singing it.

Ketsumeishi “Sakura”

This iconic song that symbolizes the spring season is also extremely popular at karaoke.

It’s a bittersweet yet heartwarming track that sings of past love, revived alongside scenes of cherry blossoms.

The contrast between the rap-driven storytelling and the catchy chorus that anyone can sing along to is truly moving.

Released as a single in February 2005, it became the group’s biggest hit despite having no tie-in.

Sing it with friends at karaoke, and the emotional atmosphere is sure to deepen.

When the chorus comes, join in together for a rousing sing-along and enjoy the sense of unity!

Golden Bomber “Memeshikute” Music Video

This is the sixth single by Golden Bomber, a four-member band that created the one-of-a-kind genre of “visual kei air band” and has earned high praise for the quality of their songs.

It’s also known as Golden Bomber’s signature track, as they performed it for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015 on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

With catchy choreography—starting with the window-wiping dance—it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke with friends.

The key is on the higher side for the average male, making it an easy and recommended number for teenage girls to sing.

ORANGE RANGE “Hana” MV

This song, which depicts the fragility of life and the strength of love, is known as one of ORANGE RANGE’s signature works.

Released in October 2004 as the theme song for the film “Be With You,” it debuted at number one.

The lyrics liken falling petals to the course of life, resonating deeply with listeners.

The striking contrast between the melodic composition and the emotional rap makes it a real standout—even at karaoke.

However, since it’s performed by three vocalists and spans a wide range, it’s best sung with friends who can cover different pitches if possible.

It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to feel a strong bond with someone important.

frecklesJUDY AND MARY40rank/position

Freckles – JUDY AND MARY (Full)

This is the ninth single by JUDY AND MARY, a four-piece rock band affectionately known as JudyMariu, whose 2001 breakup left many fans still hoping for a reunion.

The song is also famous as the first opening theme of the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, and together with the anime’s popularity, it became a massive hit, selling 1.

2 million copies.

With its unique structure that shifts from a hysteric intro to a poppy A-melody and its distinctly JudyMariu catchy chorus, it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO41rank/position

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

This is a song released in 2017 that was used in an NTT Docomo commercial.

The intro through to the lead-up to the chorus might not ring a bell at all, but once the chorus hits, most people will probably think, “I’ve heard this!” The overall vocal range is G3–D5, so most women should be able to sing it without changing the key.

Also, since it features a band × brass band arrangement, the song has a very light, upbeat feel that makes it easy to get into the rhythm! I think it would be plenty of fun and a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke, too.

That said, the chorus is longer than you might expect, so you’ll need some stamina, and there’s a risk it could start to feel repetitive.

It might be good to split the chorus into two big parts—front half and back half—so you can add contrast and keep things engaging!

Hello, Again ~A Place That’s Been Around Since Long Ago~My Little Lover42rank/position

My Little Lover "Hello, Again ~A Place That’s Been There Since Long Ago~

My Little Lover’s famed song “Hello, Again ~A Place That’s Always Been~” garnered nationwide popularity.

Adhering to orthodox pop conventions, this piece keeps the vocal range compact throughout.

Because the melodic rises and falls are very gentle, it isn’t particularly low, but as long as you choose the right key, even women in their 40s with lower voices should find it easy to sing.

It’s also a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
