Melancholy CasablancaGō Hiromi
It’s a smash hit that was born from a radio project.
“Aishū no Casablanca” was released in 1982 as the 43rd single.
The song came first, then the lyrics and singer were publicly solicited, and Hiromi Go was ultimately chosen.
Its charm lies in a melody that fully showcases Go’s sultriness.
It’s the kind of song that can make even men swoon.
While it may be difficult to fully recreate the song’s vibe and atmosphere, the pitch itself isn’t particularly high, so it should be relatively approachable to take on.
Autumn Full StopArisu
Alice’s hidden gem “Akishifu” (“Autumn Stop”).
While it’s somewhat less known among the many hit numbers they’ve produced, its superb craftsmanship has kept it beloved by many fans even today.
The song is characterized by a vocal line with strong kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) elements.
Because it features many phrases close to enka, it’s an especially singable piece for men in their late 50s who experienced the transition from enka to kayōkyoku in their childhood.
Another nice point is that parts of it don’t require much vocal power.
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.
Night of 15Ozaki Yutaka
Released in December 1983 as Yutaka Ozaki’s debut single.
Over a beautifully arranged backing track, Ozaki’s lyrics and vocals feel like an outpouring of emotion, leaving a strong impression.
It’s also interesting that, outside the chorus, much of the singing takes on a semi-spoken quality.
Many listeners will deeply relate to the lyrics, so fussing over fine points of vocal technique when performing this song is pointless—just immerse yourself in its world and enjoy.
Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB
This is Kome Kome Club’s 10th single, released in April 1990.
It was used as the CM song for JAL’s Okinawa travel “JAL STORY Summer Rikyu Campaign” in 1990.
Just by listening, you can picture the beautiful summer scenery of Okinawa—it’s a track brimming with a refreshing vibe! As of November 2023, many people in their 50s likely heard this song in real time.
The vocal melody sits in a range that’s easy for most people to sing, so you can hum along casually.
For the higher notes in the chorus, try placing the sound toward the upper palate inside your mouth; it gives your tone a bit of sparkle, which I think helps recreate the original song’s freshness in karaoke.
Give it a try!
Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z
B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.
While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.
Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.
If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.
It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
KISS MEHimuro Kyosuke
Kyosuke Himuro’s signature song “KISS ME.” It’s a rock-style track emblematic of the ’90s, featuring sharp, punchy synthesizers.
Despite that, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
While the range is fairly wide—lowest note at mid1 C and highest at hi F—the song is primarily built around the mid2 C area, so it’s not an extremely high-pitched piece.
In fact, if you imitate Himuro’s constricted vocal style, you may find it quite manageable.
It’s a surefire hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
