Recommended Japanese pop karaoke songs for men in their 30s (61–70)
First loveKozo Murashita
If you still harbor a lingering regret in your heart about never telling the girl you liked back in your school days how you felt—wishing you had confessed back then—then, should you get the chance to go to karaoke at something like a class reunion after-party, I highly recommend singing Kozo Murashita’s “Hatsukoi” in front of her as a subtle message song to let her know you liked her.
Shadows of YouthKazuo Zaitsu
Written and composed by Kazuo Zaizu, “Seishun no Kage” was released in June 1974 as Tulip’s sixth single.
Even after roughly forty years, it remains a timeless proposal song dedicated to a beloved woman.
It’s a classic you’ll want to sing at karaoke when you want to confess your love or propose to your girlfriend.
swallowtail butterflyPorno Graffitti
Released in June 2001, Porno Graffitti’s sixth single and one of their signature songs, “Agehachō,” is a rhythmic, exotic, and passionate track.
It’s a stylish, cool song perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke, and it has a charm that feels completely natural even when sung by men in their 30s.
Man and WomanCHAGE and ASKA
Masterpieces that move and inspire us always feel fresh whether we listen to them or sing them, and among CHAGE & ASKA’s signature songs, “Otoko to Onna” (“Man and Woman”) is a track brimming with profound, deep allure.
It’s the perfect mature karaoke song for men in their thirties, who have grown more refined and cool with a touch of rugged charm.
Life is BeautifulASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Some teenage boys may be interested in Japanese music from a decade or two ago.
In particular, teens who follow the Japanese rock scene are probably digging into older bands.
That’s why I recommend Life Is Beautiful.
It’s the latest release from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, who were hugely active in the 2000s, and it has a refreshing, soft overall vibe.
While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, aside from a brief falsetto in the chorus, it’s actually quite limited.
The vocal line doesn’t require vibrato, so as long as you can control your pitch and hold long notes, you can aim for a high score at karaoke.
I want to shout that I love you.BAAD
BAAD is a rock band that started in 1992.
Their 1993 release “Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai” was used as the first opening theme for the anime SLAM DUNK, and it’s a huge hit with people around their thirties.
It’s a highly recognizable song that even people in their twenties and forties tend to know, which makes it great for getting everyone involved and fired up together.
The key is a bit on the high side, so a good tip is to adjust it to suit your range before you sing.
From inside the windowBUMP OF CHICKEN
“From Inside the Window” is a mid-tempo rock tune released in 2023 by the four-piece rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN.
The key is relatively low, so it’s recommended even for people who aren’t very confident in their singing.
It starts off quietly and builds up strongly in the chorus, making it a perfect fit for the beginning of a karaoke session or for a cooldown midway through.
The chorus melody has sections with quick note movements, so if you focus your practice on those parts, you’ll be able to sing it cleanly.
