[Recommended for men in their 30s] Karaoke songs that hyped everyone up back in the day (1–10)
Feelin’ great! 〜Nothing But Something〜DA PUMP
DA PUMP is a dance and vocal group that has been active for many years.
Early in their career they had a stylish vibe, but as they gained experience they gradually began tackling comic songs and the like, broadening both their musicality and their persona.
Their track “Gokigendaze! ~Nothing But Something~,” judging by the title alone, might seem like a comic song, but in reality it’s more of a then-contemporary R&B-style pop number, finished with a distinctly stylish feel.
We are!Hiroshi Kitadani
ONE PIECE is a series that’s always at the forefront of the anime scene, constantly generating buzz.
It has produced many theme songs, but when you hear ONE PIECE, the first one that comes to mind is probably “We Are!” The biggest charm of this song is, without a doubt, its grand vocal line.
The singer, Hiroshi Kitadani, is a vocalist who excels in the lower register as well, and in JAM Project he handles the overall low parts and even death growls.
The richness created by those low tones is truly impressive and perfectly captures the spirit of adventure.
Butter-FlyKoji Wada
The game “Digimon” still enjoys enduring popularity today.
At first, the series had a strong image as a Bandai handheld electronic game, but its popularity really took off after it was adapted into an anime.
Koji Wada’s “Butter-Fly” is known as the theme song for the anime “Digimon Adventure,” and it is still remembered as a classic anime song.
One of the charms of this piece is its lively, quintessentially anime-style melody.
Its straightforward and exhilarating tune—something not often heard in recent anime songs—likely captured the hearts of men in their 30s who were kids at the time.

RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
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.
gazeSUPER BEAVER
This song has a very cool, authentic band feel! Especially the way the chorus builds—doesn’t it feel great to sing? I get the impression SUPER BEAVER doesn’t use very high registers and tends to have songs on the lower side overall.
The vocal range for “Manazashi” is C3–A4, so it should be easy for most men to sing.
The low notes can easily turn into a throaty sound, so when you sing, try consciously lifting your facial muscles as if you’re making a surprised expression.
Especially when the melody changes, keeping your facial muscles lifted the whole time will prevent your pitch from dropping, making it easier to produce a correct, relaxed sound.
SUPER BEAVER is extremely popular—it seems hard to get live tickets…
They have lots of cool songs, so adding them to your karaoke repertoire is sure to get everyone hyped!
MelissaPorno Graffitti
Porno Graffitti is a musical duo that still enjoys strong, enduring popularity.
Among men in their thirties, more than half probably sing their songs quite often.
Of all their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Melissa.
It’s memorable for its sharp, punchy chorus, which carries a slight Latin flavor.
The A and B verses feel like refreshing rock, and the contrast creates a distinctive atmosphere.
Youthful AmigoShuji and Akira
The famous song “Seishun Amigo,” known as the theme for the popular drama Nobuta wo Produce, is sung by the duo Shuuji to Akira—Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi.
It features a passionate melody with a slight kayōkyoku flavor, yet it also carries a certain laid-back, Heisei-era nonchalance that leaves an impression.
Although falsetto appears, the overall range is narrow, so even men in their 30s can sing it comfortably while reminiscing.
