Strawberry Statement, Once Morebanban
Men in their 50s are a generation that has been exposed to many genres, including rock, kayōkyoku, and enka.
Among them, you could say they’re especially knowledgeable about folk music.
For men in their 50s, I particularly recommend Ichigo Hakusho o Mou Ichido (“Strawberry Statement, Once Again”).
It’s a classic by the folk duo Banban, who were hugely active in the 1970s, and it’s characterized by a deeply bittersweet folk sound.
It also has a touch of blues, with the chorus ramping up in intensity.
Even so, the vocal line remains relatively calm; while the range isn’t exactly narrow, there aren’t drastic jumps in pitch.
It’s a great choice for those who want to sing a simple song with a solid, full voice.
My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
This is Southern All Stars’ third single, originally released in March 1979.
The song was used in the final installment of the TBS drama series “Fuzoroi no Ringo-tachi,” titled “Fuzoroi no Ringo-tachi IV,” which led to its re-release in 1997.
It’s another undisputed Showa-era ballad—a masterpiece among Southern’s ballads! The vocal melody is very easy to sing and remember, so even people who don’t usually sing can probably hum along and enjoy it at karaoke.
Doing a Kuwata-style impersonation while singing could be fun too!
I’ve always liked you.Saitō Kazuyoshi
A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.
The gentle sound of acoustic guitar and a heartfelt voice tenderly embrace a love that missed its chance and wishes that never came true, quietly conveying hidden emotions.
Kazuyoshi Saito’s warm vocals and guitar beautifully capture both nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.
Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme for Shiseido’s IN&ON commercial series.
Since February 2017, it has also been featured in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to resonate with many.
It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or when meeting old friends, steeped in fond memories.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and the universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.
Beard and Boobsyunikōn
One of Unicorn’s signature works, humorously portraying the wavering emotions between a salaryman’s job and love.
Tamio Okuda’s lyrical world shines as it deftly weaves in modern workplace dynamics, from a young company president to the woman at the next desk.
Released in October 1991, the song features an arrangement inspired by the grand sound of Electric Light Orchestra, with striking synthesizers.
As the closing track of the album “Hige to Boin,” it brilliantly captures the complex feelings of a man who can’t give up on love even while being consumed by work.
A perfect song to fire up a post-work karaoke session with colleagues.
To the most important personTonneruzu
The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.
Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.
It’s especially notable for its narrow range, with every part kept in the low to low-mid register.
For men in their 50s, this is the easiest range to sing in, so it should be perfectly doable at karaoke during after-parties or late-night gatherings.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
The Summer Without YouDEEN
This is DEEN’s 12th single overall, released in August 1997.
It was also used as the fourth ending theme for the Nippon TV anime Detective Conan.
As you’d expect from DEEN, who scored a string of big hits in the ’90s when “being often sung at karaoke” was a key condition for a song to become a hit, this track is also crafted to be very easy to sing and remember.
To aim for a high score, you’ll likely need to study the vocalist’s subtle phrasing in detail, but there aren’t any difficult parts, so definitely give it a try.
If you place the resonance so the sound hits the upper palate inside your mouth, you can produce a voice with lots of high-order overtones—a slightly sparkling tone—similar to the original singer.
DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY
ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the ’80s.
Known for their bright, powerful songs that embody pure rock ’n’ roll, they’ve produced many tracks over the years.
Among ZIGGY’s catalog, the one I especially recommend to men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the midrange, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal line quite easy to sing.
