Sky of OblivionSADS
A song with deep emotion and a unique worldview, it carries messages of loneliness, introspection, and self-trust.
It begins with the image of walking alone in a dry wind and unfolds into a journey toward a gray yet beautiful sky.
Chosen as the theme song for the 2000 TBS drama “Ikebukuro West Gate Park,” it became a major hit.
Included on the album “BABYLON,” it reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
Kiyoharu’s stirring lyrics and melodies remain timeless even today.
If you sing it with rich emotion at karaoke, it will surely resonate with those around you.
Immerse yourself in the one-of-a-kind world of SADS!
Limited Expressyuzu
Yuzu is a musical group that has become synonymous with folk duos in the J-POP scene.
Their 22nd single, “Chotokkyu,” released as a double A-side with “Hi wa Mata Noboru,” was chosen as the theme song for the reality dating show Ainori.
The lyrics depict changing environments within the passing everyday life, and those in their 30s—the generation that listened to it in their youth—may feel a different kind of realism now.
With Yuzu’s signature refreshing harmonies and ensemble, it’s a comfortable, karaoke-friendly pop tune that comes highly recommended.
Premonition of LoveSafe zone
One of Anzen Chitai’s signature songs, the enchanting Koi no Yokan, features a beautiful, melancholic melody.
It’s a recommended karaoke love song for calm, mature men in their 30s.
The track was the band’s seventh single, released in October 1984.
telepathy; tacit understanding (literally: 'heart-to-heart communication')19
A song by the folk duo 19 that took its era by storm.
For those who listened to it in real time back then, it’s probably very nostalgic.
In karaoke sessions, especially with groups of men in their 30s, everyone can likely sing along.
Since it’s a gentle, ballad-style song, it’s perfect for the latter part of a karaoke session.
It’s also short, so the quick sing-through makes it an easy pick for karaoke.
I want to see youGACKT
GACKT’s classic “Kimi ni Aitakute” (“I Want to See You”).
Among GACKT’s ballads, many men in their 30s likely think of this song first.
Surprisingly, it’s also quite easy to sing.
The relaxed tempo helps, but the especially singable aspect is its comfortable vocal range.
Not too low, not too high.
Every section can be sung in chest voice by most men without issue, so if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely a song where you can aim for a high score at karaoke.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Golden Bomber
Air Band, the seventh single by Golden Bomber (hereafter, Kinbaku), was released in October 2009.
Hard to believe it’s been almost ten years! As of the time of writing (April 2020), if you’re in your 30s, this was probably right in your wheelhouse.
With some lyric changes, it was also used as the theme song for House Foods’ “Mega Shaki” commercial.
Not just with this song, but as a common trait in Kinbaku’s music, the vocal melodies are very Showa-kayō in style.
Speaking of Showa-era pop, compared to modern songs, the melodies are often very simple and easy to get into, which is one reason this is great even for people who aren’t confident singers.
In terms of key, most men should be fine singing it in the original key, but just in case, check in advance to find the key that suits you best.
The tempo makes it really easy to groove to, so don’t sweat the small stuff—just have fun singing it!
POP STARKen Hirai
It’s Ken Hirai’s 23rd single, released in October 2005.
You might think, “Why recommend a Ken Hirai song when I’m not good at singing!?” but it’s an upbeat, lively track, and in that sense it’s very easy for anyone to sing.
The chorus melody is also very simple and easy to remember, so there’s nothing to be afraid of there.
However, if you want to sing it in the original key like he does, you’ll need to properly switch between chest voice, falsetto, and mixed voice, so please be careful when setting the key.
The actual vocal range used isn’t that wide, so as long as you research and choose the right key beforehand, you should be fine.
Also, if you’re not confident, feel free to skip the ad-lib sections—the parts without lyrics where he goes like “Uh~~.”
