Baby BabyGing Nang Boyz
Ginnan BOYZ is a rock band led by Kazunobu Mineta, a figure often hailed as a charismatic presence in Japan’s rock scene.
Did you know that “BABY BABY,” included on the album ‘Kimi to Boku no Daisanji Sekai Taisen-teki Ren’ai Kakumei’ (Our Third World War-esque Romance), is a song that’s been performed since their predecessor band, GOING STEADY? Its lyrics weave poetic phrases into a straightforward message, creating impact alongside catchy lines.
With its hooky melody, it’s fun to sing and always a crowd-pleaser at karaoke—a real rock anthem.
HeroFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
This is the 11th single by FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY’S—affectionately known as Fanmon—from Hachioji, Tokyo.
The group disbanded in 2013 and restarted as a duo in 2021.
The title “Hero” doesn’t refer to a fictional superhero with extraordinary powers, but to the father who protects his family.
The lyrics movingly convey the greatness of heroes who exist not in a dream world, but in reality.
For those in their 30s, many may see themselves as the heroes portrayed in this song, fighting their daily battles.
Packed with Fanmon’s trademarks—such as the melodic rap in the A section and the catchy chorus—this fast-paced track expands the lyrical worldview and is a tear-jerking number.
scabHidenori Chiwata
Singer-songwriter Hidenori Chiwata, who made headlines when he resumed activities in 2007 under his real name, Isao Chiwata, released the single “Kasabuta” on April 23, 2003.
The track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Zatch Bell!.
Its lyrics, which evoke the struggles of youth and hope for the future, are likely to bring back memories for those now in their 30s.
It’s also a great choice for karaoke, but be careful not to lose the rhythm, as the melody has many subtle rises and falls and the tempo is fast.
Endless road19
The folk duo 19, who gained popularity with their orthodox musical style.
While they’re categorized as a folk duo, their sound is actually closer to rock, and they even have songs with a rough, rock-like arrangement.
Among them, the one I particularly recommend is Hatenonai Michi (Endless Road).
There’s a single high note near the end of the chorus, but it’s not so high that you need to use mixed voice; if you sing it in the right key, you should be able to handle it without trouble.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON
The classic song “Inbaku-to” has been loved for many years.
It’s a signature work by reggae deejay CHEHON, and when it was released, it became an explosive hit in Osaka, the holy land of Japanese reggae.
Nowadays, with CHEHON active in the MC battle scene, it’s also gaining support from younger generations.
Although the track has a pleasant flow, it doesn’t feature particularly difficult phrases.
The vocal range is very narrow, so most men should be able to sing it without trouble.
Thank you!!HOME MADE Family
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!
PearlTHE YELLOW MONKEY
There are probably people in their 30s who devoted their youth to them.
This is a song by the legendary, hugely popular rock band THE YELLOW MONKEY.
It was released in 2000 as their 22nd single.
While the track is energetic and fast-paced, the lyrics—and even the title—carry a bittersweet meaning.
When you sing it at karaoke, aim for a masculine, robust vocal tone like Kazuya Yoshii’s.
How much emotion you can pour into it is also key.
