[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that were a hit back then (71–80)
pure whiteFujii Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” When you think of Fujii Kaze, his music is striking for its foundation in Black music genres like R&B, soul, and neo-soul, but this work is characterized by a dream pop-like finish.
The vocal range is on the narrower side for his songs, which alone makes it quite easy to sing, but the most distinctive feature is the vocal line.
In this track, the vocal line moves very gently in pitch, and the groove isn’t heavily emphasized either.
Among his songs, it’s one of the easiest to sing, both rhythmically and in terms of the vocal line.
True LoveFumiya Fujii
This was Fumiya Fujii’s second single as a solo artist, released on November 10, 1993.
It’s said to be the first song he composed himself, and it’s crafted into a gentle ballad with a very pleasant acoustic sound.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “Asunaro Hakusho,” and became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.
The vocal melody is very easy to hum along to, so I think it’s a song anyone can sing comfortably if you pick it casually for karaoke.
Try to focus on producing a resonant, rich tone and sing it gently all the way through.
one thing or anotherTakashi Fujii
Yoshimoto comedian Takashi Fujii’s debut single, released in March 2000.
The composition, arrangement, and production were handled by Daisuke Asakura, with lyrics by GAKU-MC.
It became a major hit, selling over 280,000 copies, and has since been covered by various artists.
As of 2020, many people in their 30s have likely heard this song on TV or elsewhere, making it a very familiar tune for many.
Since it’s performed by a comedian rather than a professional singer, the melody was likely crafted with that in mind—it’s very straightforward and simple, and the lyrics fit the melody without any tricky phrasing.
It’s safe to say this is one of the best choices for people who aren’t confident singers to use as a karaoke go-to.
Give it a try!

Fragments of an EncounterKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi’s classic “Deai no Kakera.” Since it was released in 2008, people in their late 30s might not be as familiar with it, but for those in their early 30s it’s probably a nostalgic track.
Although it has a hip-hop vibe, it’s not the kind of hip-hop we hear today; it incorporates plenty of J-pop elements.
As a result, there aren’t any complex flows.
The vocal range is also narrow, making it a prime example of an easy-to-sing song.
MayNothing’s Carved In Stone
Nothing’s Carved In Stone, formed around Shinichi Ubukata of ELLEGARDEN and Hidekazu Hinata of STRAIGHTENER, made their debut in 2009.
Boasting enough popularity to sell out a show at Nippon Budokan and a career spanning over 15 years, they’re currently drawing attention with their song “May,” released in May 2025.
The superb melody—driven by their signature emotional guitar sound and Takashi Muramatsu’s powerful yet wistful vocals—hints at the birth of a new anthem.
When singing it at karaoke, aim for clear enunciation and try to savor each and every word of the lyrics as you sing.
25th ChromosomeRADWIMPS
“The 25th Chromosome,” released in November 2005, is the single that marked RADWIMPS’ memorable major-label debut.
The songs performed by the members, who had just turned 20 at the time, are strikingly youthful and vulnerable, and you can already sense the budding presence of Western musical influences in the production.
The fast-paced melody packed with Noda’s distinctive wordplay also feels quintessentially “them,” but fans of the band are likely accustomed to this kind of phrasing and shouldn’t find it difficult to sing at karaoke.
While the pitch sits slightly on the higher side, it stays within a consistent range, so if you’re not comfortable with high notes, adjusting the key should make it perfectly manageable.
LOVE YOU ONLYTOKIO
This was TOKIO’s major debut single, released in September 1994.
Although TOKIO performs in a band format, perhaps because this is their debut song, it totally has the vibe of a pre-’90s male idol track—upbeat, with a poppy, catchy, and simple melody.
Even for those who aren’t confident singers looking to try it at karaoke, I can wholeheartedly recommend this song.
The original key is a bit on the high side, so be sure to pay close attention to your key setting.
Get into the rhythm, and if you make it feel as exhilarating as the band themselves, it’ll be perfect!
