[For women in their 30s] Karaoke songs that are popular with men

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

M Ayumi Hamasaki

This is the 19th single by singer-songwriter Ayumi Hamasaki, who gained such popularity in the 1990s that she was called a charismatic icon among junior high and high school girls and who continues to be active today as the diva of the Heisei era.

It was her first single composed by Ayumi Hamasaki herself under the name CREA, and it was used in a TU-KA commercial in which she appeared.

Negotiationbewitching goldfish

Yoen Kingyo – Negotiation [Official Music Video]

Negotiation Enchanting Goldfish

An R&B duo in Japan known for their exceptional taste and highly regarded by hardcore music aficionados, Yoen Kingyo.

Their signature is R&B with a strong hip-hop flavor, and while they remain under the radar, they’ve created numerous hidden gems.

Their new track, “Negotiation,” is a neo-soul piece reminiscent of Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, featuring melodic rap and exquisitely layered choruses.

Since every part sits in the low to low-mid range, it definitely demands groove, but in terms of vocal range, it’s a very singable song for women with lower voices.

Thank youIkimonogakari

Thank you, Ikimono-gakari

Here’s a wonderful Ikimono-gakari song with a brilliant arrangement: it starts with a minor-key intro that evokes the chorus, then suddenly bursts into a major-key chorus that feels like the view opening up.

When you sing it at karaoke, really lean into that effect and it will surely land.

Composed as the theme song for the 2010 NHK morning drama Gegege no Nyobo, this beloved classic is the kind of song that will be welcomed by everyone no matter the scene.

Secret of my heartMai Kuraki

Mai Kuraki 'Secret of my heart'

Secret of my heart Mai Kuraki

Mai Kuraki, who also gained popularity for her anime theme songs.

It’s a song that appeals to both anime fans and those who aren’t.

It’s on the calmer side, but its refreshing tone keeps it from feeling dark and creates a nice atmosphere.

It strikes just the right balance of femininity—neither too cutesy nor so intense that it feels unapproachable.
