YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA
This is the 31st single by CHAGE&ASKA (now CHAGE and ASKA), released in March 1993.
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV Wednesday drama series “If You Turn Around, He’s There,” starring Yuji Oda, and became a huge hit, recording double million sales.
The slightly wild lyrics are also memorable, aren’t they? When singing it at karaoke, I don’t think there are any particularly difficult parts in terms of melody or rhythm, but please sing the high notes in the chorus powerfully, doing your best not to lose vocal brightness.
Since the chorus has a refreshing sense of openness, try to sing with as little constriction in your voice as possible.
Sad personNakamura Masatoshi
A masterpiece by Masatoshi Nakamura that strikes the heart with its warm yet wistful melody and poignant lyrics.
Released in August 1999 and used as the theme song for the drama “Metropolitan Police Department Forensics Team,” the piece is a gentle ballad that nevertheless leaves a profound emotional impact.
Its lyrics, rich with messages that comfort those facing sorrow and loneliness, resonate deeply with listeners.
With a moderate vocal range and few long sustained notes, it’s an easy song to try even for men in their 50s who aren’t confident singers.
Precisely because this generation often stands at life’s crossroads, the song may offer courage and hope.
Solitary BloomCHAGE and ASKA
It was the debut single by Chage & Aska (now CHAGE & ASKA), released in August 1979.
For those in their 50s as of 2022, this is surely one of the classic songs of the New Music era! It’s a slow-tempo ballad with a very beautiful melody, so be sure to sing each word of the lyrics and each note with great care.
When you sing it, make a clear contrast between the quiet backing in the first half and the section in the latter half where the rhythm kicks in.
If you take your time and really savor the title call at the end of each chorus, it’ll feel just right!

DEAR ALGERNONHimuro Kyosuke
Kyosuke Himuro, a male singer who gained charismatic popularity among men in their 50s.
He left many classic songs not only with BOØWY, of course, but also as a solo artist.
Among his masterpieces, the one I especially recommend is Dear Algernon.
Although the song spans a slightly wide vocal range of mid1 C to hi A, its BPM—meaning the tempo—is slow, so overall it’s relatively easy to sing.
If you hold back on vocal power and sing with a slightly muffled tone like Himuro does, you’ll be able to handle the high notes without much trouble, so it’s a good idea to try imitating that approach.
Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band
Kai Band’s classic “Uragiri no Machikado.” It ranks alongside hits like “Anna” and “Hero,” but this song stands out for its distinctly decadent atmosphere.
Despite that, the vocal line is very easy.
With its downer vibe, the melody is calm and stays within a narrow range throughout.
There aren’t any drastic jumps in pitch and there are few long notes, so even men in their 50s who aren’t confident singers should be able to handle it without trouble.
Humans, you know…yoshida takurou
Takuro Yoshida is a singer-songwriter who represents Japan’s folk scene.
In addition to his orthodox songs, he also has many introspective, edgy tracks characteristic of the folk scene of that era.
Among Yoshida’s songs, the one I especially recommend to men in their 50s is Ningen Nante (Humans Ain’t Much).
It features a decadent melody and a moderate overall vocal range.
You might feel it’s a bit on the high side, but even at the highest notes it stays in the mid-to-high range, so there shouldn’t be any issues in terms of vocal production.
Its rough, rugged vocal style is a hallmark, and the fact that it still sounds fairly complete even when sung a bit loosely also makes it easy to perform.
Like tonight’s moonElefanto Kashimashi
It’s a soul-stirring masterpiece that powerfully sings of passion for the future, even as it confronts everyday emptiness and loneliness.
Set against the backdrop of a city at dusk, it portrays the isolation and inner struggles of people living in the metropolis, while conveying a strong will to keep moving forward.
The impassioned vocals—so quintessentially Elephant Kashimashi—and the melody that sinks deep into the heart are beautifully in harmony.
Released in July 1997, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara,” and was also included on the album “Ashita ni Mukatte Hashire – Tsukiyo no Uta.” In 2017, it was performed during the band’s first appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen, capturing the hearts of even more listeners.
It’s a track that evokes deep empathy—one to listen to when you feel lost in life, or on nights when you’re thinking of someone dear.
