Weather Forecast LoverCHAGE and ASKA
“Tenki Yohou no Koibito” is the song that played in the final episode of a TV drama broadcast in the so‑called Monday 9 p.m.
slot in 2000.
It was included on an album released in 1989.
Its warm tempo and melody make it easy to remember and sing.
The bittersweet lyrics can bring tears to your eyes even as you sing.
In addition to the duo’s harmonies, female backing vocals are used, so even when you sing it solo at karaoke you can enjoy a luxurious feel.
Be sure to practice and give it a try!
Speak not of lifeyoshida takurou
The song of the same name included on Takuro Yoshida’s 1974 album “Ima wa Mada Jinsei o Katarazu.” Packed with a message to young people, this track stands out with a driving energy and powerful performance that transcend the literal meaning of the words, stirring the listener’s heart.
Though rock-influenced, its relatively narrow vocal range makes it very easy to sing.
For those in their 50s, it’s a nostalgic tune that will bring back memories.
It’s also often sung at work socials and similar gatherings, so why not add it to your repertoire?
Hold On MeKohiruimaki Kahoru
Kahoru Kohiruimaki is a female singer who garnered popularity for her strikingly low, cool vocal timbre and soulful singing.
It was an exceptional achievement for a Japanese artist at the time that she was recognized by figures like Maurice White and Prince.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Hold On Me.
While the track carries hints of soul and R&B, the vocal lines themselves contain elements of Showa-era kayōkyoku, making it easier to sing than it might sound at first.
The range isn’t very wide either, so it’s a good choice for women in their 50s with lower voices.
My Father’s Longest Daysadamasashi
Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.
Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.
Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.
The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?
If I Could Play the PianoNishida Toshiyuki
Toshiyuki Nishida, who has left a strong mark in many works as a renowned actor.
He’s a versatile performer, and for a time he was active as a musical artist as well.
When it comes to songs that represent him, isn’t it, after all, “Moshimo Piano ga Hiketa Nara” (“If Only I Could Play the Piano”)? It’s characterized by a very calm vocal delivery, with a relatively even melodic contour and a narrow range.
It’s ideal for karaoke when you’re getting tired and want to sing something that can be performed softly.
Sunset SongKondō Masahiko
Masahiko Kondo, who left behind many classic songs as a representative idol of the Showa era.
I think there are very many men who aren’t interested in male idols, but aren’t there quite a few men in their late 50s who made an exception for this song, “Yuyake no Uta”? This work has a distinctly mature, rugged appeal, characterized by a melody that somewhat evokes enka.
The vocal range is about average, but because the vocal line as a whole carries the familiar enka-like feel that Japanese listeners are used to, I think it’s very easy to sing.

Goodbye, Humanitytama
Released in May 1990, this was the debut single by Tama, the Japanese band that became the 14th “King” on the popular music show Heisei Meibutsu TV: Yuji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Tengoku (a.k.a.
Ikaten), often called a springboard for young bands.
It was one of the defining hits of the 1990s band boom.
Many men in their 50s today probably covered this song with their bands and enjoyed singing and playing it at school festivals, right? It’s an upbeat, comical tune, so don’t overthink it—just have fun singing it and blow off your everyday stress! Doing a mimicry-style performance might be fun too.
