A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Men in their 30s probably get quite a few chances to go to karaoke, don’t they?

EXILE / Road

The Way of EXILE

It’s a classic EXILE ballad! I’ve actually sung EXILE songs live myself, and as a woman I was shocked at how low they are.

Even raising the key by two semitones still felt low, so I think EXILE’s range is very much tailored to male voices.

Michi, with its relaxed tempo, sits around B2–A4, and the chest-voice section in the bridge feels a bit high.

That said, for karaoke scoring, singing in falsetto will almost always match pitch more accurately, so choose whichever approach you prefer! Key points: sing carefully overall to keep your pitch aligned, take breaths at each phrase, and be mindful of pitch tendencies at the ends of phrases.

If you focus on these three, a perfect 100 is definitely within reach! As you keep practicing, it’s also a song where expressive delivery tends to add points, so give it a try!

Its straightforward message of love and emotional melody still make it a winning choice at karaoke today.

That said, the song features quite a few high notes, so be sure to practice thoroughly beforehand to avoid going off pitch when singing in front of others.

SUPER BEAVER 'Protagonist' MV (Theme song for Fuji TV's 'Mezamashi TV')

Protagonist SUPER BEAVER

This is the song chosen as the 2025 theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi TV,” and it’s the kind of track that flips your motivation switch on from the morning! SUPER BEAVER’s songs don’t really have the image of being “high” in pitch, and the vocal range of this song, “Shujinkou,” is mainly mid-range at D#3–G#4, so I think many men can sing it mostly in chest voice! Since there’s no intro, be careful not to miss the karaoke guide cue before the vocals come in.

Also, because it’s a band song, if you stay aware of the drums and move your body to the beat as you sing, it’s easier to keep rhythm, it locks in with the melody, and your voice will come out more easily! The opening is already the chorus, and for the choruses throughout the song, make sure to project the very first consonant without hesitation! For the long notes, keep your eye on the pitch bar all the way to the end!

The melody spans a wide vocal range, and the chorus in particular stays in a high register, so for karaoke we recommend adjusting the key to suit your voice.

With its driving beat and refreshing melody that are sure to draw attention, it’s a rock tune especially recommended for men in their 30s.
