Recommended Japanese pop songs for karaoke for men in their 30s (11–20)
Stellar DaysMotohiro Hata
Stellar Days by Motohiro Hata, famed as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun,” is a masterpiece.
While the anime centers on romance, the lyrics carry a somewhat grand impression, yet they mesh well with the show, making the song highly memorable.
It leans toward the emotional side, and the verses through the pre-chorus evoke a dreamlike atmosphere.
With so many facets packed into a single track, it’s a piece that grows richer the more you listen.
Be sure to check it out.
IRIS OUTKenshi Yonezu
Kenshi Yonezu’s masterpiece “IRIS OUT.” Known as a theme song for the anime Chainsaw Man, this track has been crafted with a rather unusual tone to match the show’s atmosphere.
While it carries an overall rock flavor, you can glimpse gothic elements here and there—likely to align with the series’ world, where devils appear.
It has a somewhat matter-of-fact delivery yet interweaves shouts, making it thoroughly engaging to listen to.
Be sure to check it out.
Someday, in a world of nothingnessMacaroni Enpitsu
In addition to general rock, Macaroni Empitsu is a band with a wide musical range, from psychedelic to hard rock.
For men who like Japanese rock, you could say they’re an extremely popular band.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Itsuka Nani mo Nai Sekai de.
Although the song sits in an easy-to-sing range of mid1 A to hi A, it still builds excitement properly, and in the chorus you can let out a big voice with a near-shouted feel.
The scat-like section at the end of the chorus starts with a shout, so it’s good to aim for a slightly more vigorous, rough vocal style.
Goodbye, Regretkururi
Quruli is a band that has enjoyed long-lasting popularity thanks to its distinctive musicality.
Among their songs is a classic that gently accompanies the slightly wistful air of autumn.
The track portrays a delicate emotional state that quietly bids farewell to regrets about days gone by and tries to look ahead.
Its sparkling piano melody and warm sound seem to softly kindle hope within the sadness.
Released in September 2008 as a commemorative disc for the Kyoto Music Expo, it’s also likely familiar as the song used in House Foods’ “Java Curry” commercial.
Later included on the acclaimed album “Tamashii no Yukue,” this piece features a beautiful, singable melody, making it a great choice to add to your karaoke repertoire when you want an autumnal song.
Killer tune!Yo Oizumi
It’s a song that was released as a digital-only single on August 14, 2025, and since it was also produced as the CM song for “LIVE DAM WAO!,” its theme is karaoke—so it seems like it would really hype people up when you actually sing it at karaoke! Plus, it’s a fresh, up-tempo track, so I think it will look and sound great in a karaoke setting.
It’ll likely be easier to sing if you memorize the lyrics to some extent beforehand.
The chorus in particular has a lot of words and moves quickly.
That said, the lyrics rhyme like a rap, so once you lock into the groove, it should be easier to sing.
If you’re keeping time in 4/4, putting an accent on the first beat of the intro gives it a driving, forward-leaning feel that makes it easier to deliver.
Rather than trying to articulate every single word, let the lyrics ride the melody.
I recommend humming while you’re learning the song—try it in a relaxed state!
Tomorrow never knowsMr.Children
The heartwarming, crystal-clear hit song Tomorrow never knows by Mr.
Children—famous as the theme song of the TV drama Wakamono no Subete and as an insert song in the drama Antique: Western Antiques Confectionery—is one of those classic tracks you’ll want to sing at karaoke.

A flower that blooms only hereKobukuro
In today’s world, where life has grown more complex and busy work schedules have made it common for both men and women to marry after 30, there’s a wonderful song that can warm the heart when a man feels shy and can’t confess his feelings to the woman he loves.
If he sings Kobukuro’s “The Flower That Blooms Only Here” and then expresses his feelings, it seems like things might go well.
