I want to be kinder.NEW!Kazuyoshi Saito
Kazuyoshi Saito’s classic hit “Yasashiku Naritai.” If you’re a man in your 30s, it’s safe to say you know this song.
People discovered it in various ways, but the most common might be through the drama “I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper,” which became a social phenomenon.
The song has a somewhat decadent rock vibe, but perhaps because the lyrics are full of hope, it doesn’t feel self-deprecating the way songs in this style sometimes can.
It’s especially popular with men, so try singing it at karaoke when you’re out with your guy friends!
Feelin’ great! 〜Nothing But Something〜NEW!DA PUMP
DA PUMP is a dance and vocal group that has been active for many years.
Early in their career they had a stylish vibe, but as they gained experience they gradually began tackling comic songs and the like, broadening both their musicality and their persona.
Their track “Gokigendaze! ~Nothing But Something~,” judging by the title alone, might seem like a comic song, but in reality it’s more of a then-contemporary R&B-style pop number, finished with a distinctly stylish feel.
My WayDef Tech
It’s a track from Def Tech’s debut album “Def Tech,” featuring refreshing acoustic guitar and soothing harmonies! Released in January 2005, it gained popularity after being used in a Yokohama Tires commercial and as the image song for the drama “Brother☆Beat.” The lyrics, which celebrate valuing your true self and forging your own path, can give you courage amid busy workdays.
At karaoke, it’s a great pick to share a positive vibe with friends, so definitely give it a try!
Lovers AgainEXILE
It’s a moving song that captures a bittersweet longing for love and the hope of reunion.
With delicate lyrics, it portrays the protagonist looking back on a past romance in a winter city.
The regret after parting and the heart’s shift toward finding the courage to love again resonate with listeners.
Released in January 2007 as EXILE’s 22nd single, it was also featured in a LISMO commercial and included on the album EXILE EVOLUTION.
Recommended for those who’ve experienced heartbreak or who find themselves reminiscing about past loves, it’s a classic that colored the youth of many in their thirties.

riceNEW!DISH//
The four-member rock band DISH//.
While they’re a band, they also have idol-like popularity and enjoy tremendous support from women.
Among DISH//’s songs, the one I especially recommend to men in their 30s is Gohan.
DISH// tend to have many glittery, female-friendly tracks, but this one is crafted with a slightly grittier, earthier melody.
Kitamura Takumi’s vocals may make that less obvious, but if you’re a man in your 30s, wouldn’t you be able to bring out that grittiness even more?
