Southern All Stars – Dream Space Travel [Official Music Video]
Dream Space TravelSazan Ōrusutāzu

Southern All Stars is a band that has remained at the forefront of the Japanese music scene for many years.

Whenever they release a new song, it still draws public attention, and their track “Yume no Uchū Ryokō” has racked up over 1.5 million views on YouTube.

This song has a relatively narrow vocal range for a Southern All Stars piece, with most of the vocals sitting in the low to mid register.

It might feel a bit low for men with naturally high voices, but those with an average vocal range should be able to sing it without any issues.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

LORIOUS DAYSHotei Tomoyasu

Tomoyasu Hotei / HOTEI – “GLORIOUS DAYS”
LORIOUS DAYSHotei Tomoyasu

Not only as a guitarist but also as a composer and singer-songwriter, Tomoyasu Hotei has had a remarkable career.

While he isn’t the type known for powerful vocals, he has created many classic songs with his catchy musical style.

Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is LORIOUS DAYS.

Despite its loud sound and uptempo feel, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the melody line doesn’t fluctuate much in pitch, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score highly on throughout.

Another SaturdayHamada Shogo

Shogo Hamada’s classic “Another Saturday.” Although this song is renowned for being easy to sing, that doesn’t mean it has a narrow vocal range.

In fact, it spans a fairly typical range of mid1 C to mid2 F.

So why is it considered easy? Because the average pitch centers around mid2 A#, the so-called “A,” which sits in the middle area where humans find it easiest to produce sound.

The vocal line also has few dramatic rises and falls, so as long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song with which anyone can aim for a high score.

MY MARINE MARILYNYamamoto Tatsuhiko

Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, a singer who gained popularity in the city pop scene in the 1980s.

Among the city pop of that era, many of his works leaned heavily toward mainstream pop, and he even released some American pop-style tracks.

Of all his songs, the one I especially recommend is “MY MARINE MARILYN.” It starts off with a city pop vibe, but as it builds toward the chorus, it takes on an American pop feel.

The vocal range is very narrow in every section, so it seems like a safe choice to sing at an after-party karaoke session.

BLONDENakamori Akina

“BLONDE” is Akina Nakamori’s 18th single, a song that highlights the chic, stylish romance of the bubble era.

In particular, the cool vibrato that rings out in the chorus accentuates her elegance.

Thanks to Nakamori’s superb vocal technique, many of her songs are simply difficult to sing, but this one seems relatively easier among them.

Its melody stays within a range that’s comfortable even for male singers, so it’s a recommended choice for men who want to try singing one of her songs.

Song of DepartureKamijō Tsunehiko & Rokumonsen

Rokumonsen is a musical group formed around Hitoshi Komuro.

The masterpiece they released together with Tsunehiko Kamijo is this “Shuppatsu no Uta” (Song of Departure).

With the theme of setting off into space, it’s a highly message-driven work that portrays nostalgia for days gone by and a firm resolve for a new beginning.

Since its 1971 release, it has been highly acclaimed in many circles, influencing everything from school textbook inclusion to broader cultural recognition.

The piece begins quietly and builds in intensity, and its relatively modest vocal range is a hallmark—making it an easy choice to sing at karaoke.

It’s a classic that we especially hope those in their 50s, who have witnessed many of life’s milestones, will sing.

Setting Sail SASURAITerao Akira

Singer Akira Terao, who gained immense popularity with his calm vocals, is not only an accomplished actor but has also left behind many classic songs as an artist.

Among them, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s as an easy song to sing is Shukkō SASURAI (Setting Sail: Wanderer).

It’s one of Terao’s pieces with a particularly mature, understated vibe, composed primarily in a low vocal range throughout.

There are no sudden jumps in pitch and no parts that require belting, making it an exceptionally easy song for men in their 50s to sing.
