[Recommended for Men in Their 30s] Karaoke Hits That Fired Up the Crowd Back Then (171–180)

Keisuke Kuwata – Surfin' Johnny (Short ver.)
Surfing Johnny Kuwata Keisuke

This was Keisuke Kuwata’s sixth solo single, released in July 2001.

It was also used as the campaign song for Coca-Cola’s “No Reason,” in a commercial that featured Kuwata himself.

I imagine many of you have heard it in the ad.

Since Kuwata isn’t really a singer who trades on sheer vocal virtuosity, if you’re going to sing this at karaoke, it might be fun to exaggerate and mimic his distinctive singing style.

That might be a bit of a stretch for a ballad, but for this bright, upbeat song, I think that kind of playful approach works great!

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN

This was BUMP OF CHICKEN’s third single, released in March 2001.

It was used as an insert song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Tentaikansoku” (Stargazing), and with this track they achieved their first Top 3 entry on the Oricon charts.

As the title suggests, it’s a song with a wonderfully open, expansive feel in both its melody and arrangement.

The melody itself is very simple, so it’s an easy pick for anyone to enjoy singing at karaoke.

While the tempo is upbeat, be careful not to rush ahead of the beat.

If you try placing your voice toward your upper palate as you sing, you can achieve the same sense of openness as in the original—give it a try!

In conclusion

Weren’t there many songs that were popular during your youth or that you’ve heard before? Karaoke is a wonderful place for communication that everyone can enjoy.

Using this article as a guide, find songs that match your vocal range and style, and make the most of your karaoke time with friends and peers! You’ll surely expand your repertoire.

I’d be very happy if this gives you the chance to feel the joy of singing.
