Summer Vacation by Takuro Yoshida

This song portrays someone reminiscing about childhood summer vacation memories and basking in nostalgia.

As one of Takuro Yoshida’s signature works, it has been released in various versions and covered by many artists as a song that sings of the Japanese summer.

The expansive, layered sound evokes the feeling of casting one’s thoughts into the distance, further emphasizing its nostalgic mood.

With relatable lyrics delivered gently over a simple melody, it leaves a strong impression and, with a light touch, should be quite singable.

A signature song by Noriyuki Makihara, distinguished by its heartwarming melody that embraces both the ache of heartbreak and a brave front.

It gently portrays memories of a former lover and the nostalgia of everyday life, while the protagonist’s resolve to move forward resonates deeply with listeners.

FarewellSEKAI NO OWARI88rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “Saraba”

This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 17th single, released in June 2023.

It was issued as a triple A-side single on a 3-track CD together with “Turquoise” and “Butterfly Effect.” Among the three songs, the one we’re introducing here, “Saraba,” was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Wednesday drama “My Husband-in-Law.” It’s a major-key track with a slightly bouncy rhythm that makes you feel happy just by listening.

Despite its upbeat vibe, the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, so even those who aren’t confident singers can probably enjoy humming along.

If the singing rhythm gets heavy, it will spoil the original feel of the song, so be sure to really feel that bouncing beat as you sing.

Motohiro Hata / Promise of a Sunflower (Short Ver.)

This is Motohiro Hata’s 17th single, released in August 2014.

It became the theme song for the animated film “STAND BY ME Doraemon” and was a hit that also had many other tie-ins.

It’s a gentle ballad, and while some people who aren’t confident singers might feel hesitant when it’s recommended to them, the melody is very simple and beautiful, and once you actually try singing it, there aren’t many difficult parts.

So don’t be afraid—give it a try.

If high notes are tough for you, lowering the key by two or three steps should make it manageable for most male singers.

Just be careful with the transition between chest voice and falsetto around the end of the first verse (A-melody).

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite” (M-1 Grand Prix 2024 Promotion Video Theme Song)

People in their late 20s to early 30s are the generation that lived through the golden age of Japanese rock.

Among those bands, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION was especially popular with men.

Of all their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Rewrite.

It stays in a low register for much of the track, which makes the chorus feel explosively open by contrast, and the almost roar-like phrases really fire up the crowd.

Because the verses sit so low, it’s tempting to raise the key, but if you match it to that, the chorus will be tough—so find a comfortable middle ground and sing in a moderately adjusted key.

AMUGIRI “Colorful” Official Music Video

Popular YouTubers, Komudotto.

They may not be as explosively popular as they once were, but they are still widely supported—especially by teenage girls—so many teenage boys are likely familiar with them as well.

Among the songs by AMUGIRI, a member of Komudotto, the one I particularly recommend for men with lower voices is “Colorful.” It has a narrow vocal range, and the vocal lines are gently constructed with little fluctuation.

If you adjust it to the appropriate key, even boys going through voice change should be able to sing it without issue, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
