Recommended Japanese karaoke songs for men in their 30s (41–50)

Thank you!!HOME MADE kazoku

HOME MADE Kazoku’s “Thank You!!” is their third single overall and served as the second ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime BLEACH.

At HOME MADE Kazoku’s live shows, instead of fans shouting “Encore!”, they reportedly sing the chorus of “Thank You!!”.

One notable feature of this song is its wide vocal range, spanning A2 to G4.

KURO, who handles the lower parts, mainly sings within the octave starting at A2, while lead vocalist MICRO sings an octave above KURO.

Their call-and-response is wonderful, isn’t it? Although the range is wide, the overall pitch isn’t that high, so it’s relatively easy for men to sing.

Since it’s hip hop, try keeping time with your hands while you sing!

RADWIMPS’ “September-san” is a track included on an album released in 2006, and it’s a laid-back song you can sway your body to while singing.

RADWIMPS often has songs on the higher side, but this one isn’t that high, with a lowest note of A2 and an average pitch around D4.

The range rises a bit in the pre-chorus, so singing with a smooth, driving flow helps the song come together.

Noda’s vocal timbre is distinctive, but if you can produce an overall soft tone, your singing will resemble his more—so try performing it gently.

A third of pure-hearted feelingsSIAM SHADE

Although they disbanded once in 2002, SHIAM SHADE has captivated fans with several temporary reunions.

This signature song of theirs is widely known as the ending theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.

Its structure is very straightforward: the chorus comes first, followed by verse A and verse B, building excitement.

The beginning of verse A hits the song’s lowest note, D#3, which might be a bit low even for male singers.

Be careful not to let your voice get muffled in this part.

Another challenging aspect of the song is the rhythm.

In the chorus, if you sing it in a typical 4/4 feel, it won’t lock in with the backing drums and will sound flat.

Try singing it with a driving triplet feel instead—you’ll sound much cooler! It may be difficult until you get used to it, but definitely give it a try.

Hold me, señoritaYamashita Tomohisa

Tomohisa Yamashita, known by his nickname Yamapi, was a member of the idol group NEWS from 2003 to 2011.

In 2006, Yamapi released his long-awaited debut solo single, Daite Señorita, which was used as the theme song for the TBS drama Kurosagi.

The song’s intro is cool and memorable.

As an idol song, its vocal range is relatively narrow, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident with high notes.

The opening of the first verse is quite low, so it may be tricky to hit the pitches, but if you sing carefully, you’ll be fine.

There’s also a simple choreography in the chorus, so try enjoying it while keeping the rhythm.

Love Story Comes SuddenlyOda Kazumasa

The song “Love Story wa Totsuzen ni” is a famous track performed as the theme song for Tokyo Love Story, a hugely popular TV drama based on Fumi Saimon’s manga that aired from January 1991 and became a social phenomenon.

It’s a very sleek and stylish song, making it a recommended karaoke choice for people in their 30s.

Noriyuki Makihara’s song “Hungry Spider” features a bright Latin rhythm driven by the percussive conga beat that lifts your spirits, making it a lively, fun track guaranteed to get everyone excited at karaoke.

The song was the theme for the TV drama “Labyrinth,” which aired starting in April 1999.

The song “Wakare no Machi,” sung by Masayuki Suzuki, is a sophisticated, urbane track whose saxophone tone further enhances its allure.

It’s a captivating number that exudes the charm of a refined adult when sung at karaoke.

Released in September 1989 as Suzuki’s seventh single, the song was written and composed by singer-songwriter Kazumasa Oda.
