Recommended for men in their 30s: Karaoke hits that fired up the crowd back then (41–50)
March 9Remioromen
This is Remioromen’s second single (third release overall), released in March 2004.
Since it’s an acoustic slow ballad, some people who aren’t confident singers might hesitate to sing it.
However, the melody itself has a traditional Japanese folk-song feel and is very familiar, so there’s not much to worry about there.
Some may find the chorus sections, where you have to belt out the notes, a bit tough in terms of key, so be careful when setting the key.
In ballad-style songs like this, if you get impatient and rush the rhythm, it can sound very amateurish, so listen closely to the backing track and be careful not to push the tempo when you sing.

Full-Power BoySukima Switch
Takuya Ohashi’s gentle yet powerful vocals blend beautifully with the fresh sound of the acoustic guitar.
Centered on themes of growth and challenge, the song tenderly reminds us of the importance of not forgetting the pure feelings in our hearts, even as we become adults.
Released in April 2004 as the fifth single, it became beloved across generations as an NTT DoCoMo commercial song.
It was also included on the album “Kuusou Clip,” released the same year, and achieved steady sales.
With its relaxed tempo and a melody carried by stable pitch, it seeps into the heart alongside fond memories.
As a refreshing classic that anyone can enjoy, it will continue to linger in the hearts of many.
Summer-colored FireworksSnow Man
“Natsuiro Hanabi” is sung alternately by the nine members of Snow Man, with little overlapping, so it’s very easy to sing solo.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad that lets you breathe comfortably and keep your voice relaxed.
It’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to sing at a calm, comfortable tempo.
The vocal range mainly sits around mid1 to mid2, so even if high notes aren’t your strength, you can sing it with confidence.
Ballads can be hard to add dynamics to, and some people might end up singing them a bit flat.
In such cases, adding clear accents at slightly higher notes or at the beginnings of phrases will help create contrast.
In this song, the C melody is the biggest highlight, so try singing with the image of projecting your voice far out, and enjoy it!
The truthKazuya Kamenashi
It’s a song released in August 2025, and amazingly, it’s their first solo track in about two years! Listening to it, the range centers on low-mid to high-mid, so it might feel a bit high for those not used to higher notes.
That said, the melody is simple with no particularly tricky parts, and the chorus repeats the same phrase, making it very easy to remember.
For singing style: keep the verse (A section) conversational without belting; in the pre-chorus (B section), there’s a spot that rises to D4—accenting that part will feel great.
In the chorus, there’s a small leap from C4 to A4—don’t hesitate to accent that! For the average male singer, the range should be relatively comfortable, and with its rock flavor, it’s bound to feel really good to sing.
If you like passionate themes, definitely give it a try!
Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON
The chorus of this signature track by reggae DJ CHEHON is probably familiar to anyone in their 30s.
The video of him performing it on THE FIRST TAKE has apparently surpassed 10 million views.
In rap, rhythm matters more than pitch.
The first half has a lot of words and keeps a similar rhythm for a while, but in the latter half a more relaxed new rhythm appears, and nailing that switch makes it especially satisfying to sing.
It’s a song that naturally gets your body moving and lifts your mood, so rather than trying to sing it perfectly, approach it with the mindset of having fun and give it a try.
Give it some guts!!Ulfuls
It’s a song packed with energetic, positive messages.
The chorus, which repeats the word “guts,” resonates with listeners and gives them confidence.
Released in December 1995 as one of Ulfuls’ signature tracks, it became a turning point for the band.
At a time when Japanese society was shrouded in a gloomy mood, it emerged as a source of encouragement.
With disco-style arrangements and a catchy guitar line, it’s notable for its ability to create a sense of unity in live performances.
Give it a listen when you’re worn out by work or life and need a boost—you’ll surely find the courage to look forward.
Love so sweetstorm
This is the 18th single by the Japanese idol group Arashi, released on February 21, 2007.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Hana Yori Dango 2 (Returns),” starring group member Jun Matsumoto, and also featured in commercials for Kirin’s “Gogo no Koucha” (Afternoon Tea), so many of you have probably heard it before.
As it’s what you might call an idol song, the vocal melody doesn’t have a particularly wide range, and the melody itself is very catchy, easy to sing, and easy to remember, making it a great karaoke choice even for those who aren’t confident singers.
Don’t worry about trying to sing it perfectly—just enjoy singing and letting your voice out!
