HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
HONEY, one of L’Arc~en~Ciel’s signature songs released in 1998, was used as the ending theme for TBS’s soccer information program Super Soccer.
It topped the Oricon singles chart and achieved million-seller status.
This rock number blends a seductive atmosphere with a simple, energetic beat, making it a massive hit that virtually anyone in their 30s has heard.
In 2016, it was also used as the ending theme for episode 4 of the TV anime ReLIFE.
Artificial flowers laughACIDMAN
ACIDMAN’s major-label debut song “Zōka ga Warau” (“Artificial Flowers Laugh”).
Released at the exceptional price of 300 yen, it became a nationwide hit thanks to its buzz and solid musicality.
If you’re a man who likes bands from the late 30s era, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
The singable point of this track is its simple vocal line that you can deliver roughly without any problem.
Because the chorus feels like it’s about to surge but never quite does, the overall range is surprisingly narrow.
There’s no vibrato or operatic-style shouts either, so simply singing with a rough, raspy tone like in the original will be more than enough to make it work.
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LAHironobu Kageyama
It’s the opening theme from the anime Dragon Ball Z—something almost everyone in their 30s has probably heard.
It’s a blast whether you sing it solo or with a group, and that chorus feels absolutely amazing.
You’ll find yourself humming it even without a mic.
Let’s reminisce about our Dragon Ball memories together.
MiracleGReeeeN
An early song from GReeeeN’s career and one of their signature tracks, it remains highly popular today.
It’s a mid-tempo, ballad-like number with lyrics that depict straightforward, sincere love.
Released in May 2008, it became a major hit as the theme song for the TBS drama “ROOKIES.” A highlight of this piece is that it can be sung by multiple people! Of course, you can sing the whole song solo, but we’d love for at least two or more singers—because we really want you to recreate the harmonies in the chorus.
If you can showcase those beautiful harmonies, it’s guaranteed to look incredibly cool!
MelissaPorno Graffitti
Since their major-label debut, the two-piece rock band Porno Graffitti has dominated the charts and continued to lead the J-pop scene with a truly unique musical style.
Their 12th single, Melissa—written as the opening theme for the TV anime Fullmetal Alchemist—is a hit tune that was also selected as Song of the Year at the 18th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
Its invigorating yet wistful melody may bring back memories—along with scenes from the anime—for those in their thirties.
Starting right from the chorus, the song’s structure makes it a powerful number that instantly lifts the energy even at karaoke.
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
A legendary rock band that arguably popularized punk rock as a genre and style in the J-POP scene, THE BLUE HEARTS released this track as their first major-label single.
Known as the band’s signature song, it’s famed for its explosive performances.
Interestingly, the lyrics never actually mention “Linda,” and vocalist/lyricist Hiroto Kōmoto has publicly said you can “sing it however you like.” It’s an upbeat tune perfect for getting the crowd going by freely tweaking the lyrics depending on who you’re at karaoke with—highly recommended for men in their 30s, who likely find themselves in karaoke settings fairly often.
