I have a papa who goes out of his way to learn and sing songs that are popular lately, but I’m too embarrassed to handle it.
This content is machine-translated.
Especially “Usseewa” is a song that only people in their teens and twenties are supposed to relate to, right? It’s a song that people in their teens and twenties are singing toward the older generation, so why is a man in his forties singing “Shut up”?
Also, if a papa-katsu guy sings songs like “Dry Flower” or “Magic Carpet,” the lyrics take on a whole different meaning, don’t they?
“I have money, fame, and status, but I don’t want to let you go.” LOL
I’d have a much better time if he sang Showa-era songs instead. I feel bad for crushing his efforts, but he sings so earnestly that I can’t help feeling put off.
Do you prefer a romantic papa or a realist papa? Which type are you dating?
I’m Taro, a male member.
“Usseewa” is kind of gross. It’s different if you can actually sing it well, but if you’re bad, it just makes people wonder, “What the hell is this?” (lol)
There are people who don’t want to sing Showa-era songs. They want to keep up with the times and sing what’s currently popular. So instead of asking for Showa songs, I think it’s better to pick out and recommend some good recent songs.
If romantic songs annoy you, how about “Homura”? If you’re okay with romantic songs, “Pretender” is a little old, but I feel like it suits the middle-aged guys at dating clubs when they sing it.
If you can treat it as just work, practice “Pierre and Catherine” together and sing it as a duet. All those sleazy Showa-era guys will love it, and having practiced it will also come in handy if you ever work in the nightlife industry.

I’m a male member, Paper Airplane.
Wait—are you talking about me?? I’m singing from the rankings…
And not just that—the top ten, too…
We were just singing together at the hotel earlier…
It’s nice when your papa’s song choices are spot-on, though…
It’s disappointing when they throw off your mood, isn’t it…?
But maybe he’s just not getting into it enough. If you don’t want to listen, you could join in partway through and sing together. It can feel great to let loose—just get more into it than the person asking, almost as if you’re taking over…
If you’re going to karaoke, you should go with a papa you can enjoy spending several hours with. Two or three hours can fly by…

Haha!
That’s not so bad, is it? I think it’s worth considering it part of the allowance—and listening to songs that have been changed around can be a learning experience too.
They say a person’s character comes through in the way they sing. Regardless of the lyrics, listening to someone sing in an unusual way and seeing a side of them they don’t normally show can be a good way to discover another side of your papa (a male supporter).
Maybe that makes me a romantic.

I’m Aya, a female member.
That sounds rough…
Personally, I’m not great with karaoke—I feel a little embarrassed watching people sing—so I don’t really click with people who love karaoke, whether they’re men or women. But if the song choices are making you start disliking your papa (a male supporter) too, it might be best to gently let him know.
One of my papas likes Showa-era Japanese pop, another is into subculture music, and another prefers club music, so I feel like it’s nicely balanced. I vaguely remember not really lasting with people who were fans of the Akimoto-style idol groups.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office will answer as well.
> It would be more fun if he sang an old Showa-era song.
I think there are also plenty of women who don’t like Showa-era songs. It probably depends on the woman, so I don’t think you can make a blanket statement about which is better.
It seems important to cater to the other person’s tastes—or rather, what they’re comfortable with.

I’m Tetsu, a male member.
He sounds like a good papa (a male supporter). He’s making an effort to accommodate you, so try to watch over him with a warm heart (lol). Both romantics and realists have their pros and cons, don’t they?
I think you should gently let him know how you feel. For example, you could say, “I’d like to hear the songs you used to sing when you were about my age.”

I’m Kazu, probably one of the more realistic male members.
That’s creepy.
I also want my partner to be a realist. Idealistic dreamers give me heartburn, so I’m pretty sure I only date realists.
