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.
Make-up ShadowInoue Yosui
When you think of Yosui Inoue, you might picture him as being more popular with people in their 50s and older rather than those in their 40s.
Surprisingly, though, he had many hits in the ’90s, so he actually enjoys popularity among some in their 40s as well.
A hidden gem by Yosui Inoue that I’d like to recommend is “Make-up Shadow.” The vocal line is sharp and cool, yet the range is narrow and there are no falsetto parts, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
If you like music with a strong Showa-era vibe, be sure to check it out.
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.
BambinaHotei Tomoyasu
Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “Bambina.” Thanks to its performance on the popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, the song has recently gained support from a fairly young audience as well.
While it’s an up-tempo track with a rock ’n’ roll feel, the vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s easy for singers of any voice type to handle.
If there’s one potential challenge, it would be the long sustained note at the end of the chorus.
It features the highest phrase in the song, but even then it doesn’t require a mixed voice.
As long as you focus on staying in tune, it’s a song with solid potential for scoring high marks.
I’m smitten with you.Yellow Magic Orchestra
Yellow Magic Orchestra is a group that gained popularity for their innovative electronic music.
Their song “Kimi ni, Mune Kyun.” was composed from the perspective that, since they had been supplying hit numbers to idols at the time, “if we can keep cranking out idol hits, then in theory we could also become popular as middle-aged idols ourselves.” As a result, it features a catchy, somewhat cute melody.
With a narrow vocal range and a fairly even melodic contour, it’s also a very easy song to sing.
Happy endingOhtaki Eiichi
Eiichi Ohtaki was a music producer who gained popularity for his unique style that mixed American pop with Showa-era kayōkyoku.
He was one of the artists who laid the foundation for city pop, a Japanese music genre renowned worldwide, and he also left behind several masterpieces as a singer-songwriter.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Shiawase na Ketsumatsu (A Happy Ending).
While the track features a soaring vocal style reminiscent of Tatsuro Yamashita, its vocal range is quite narrow and the melodic contours are gentle, making it easy to sing well regardless of your voice type.
However, because it contains many long sustained notes, you should be careful with your breathing—despite not requiring a powerful volume.
Be sure to steady your breath before each entrance and sing with that awareness.

It was spring, wasn’t it?yoshida takurou
An uptempo track that sets the tone for the fourth album “Genki Desu,” released in 1972.
Takuro’s cool vocals breezily sing of the fleeting nature of love.
With an extremely low range—its lowest note is mid1 A#—this song is a godsend for men with lower voices.
While the dense lyrics and quick delivery can be a bit challenging, its comfortable, soothing sense of drive makes it easy to sing! Perfect for spring karaoke or when you want to get hyped with one of Takuro’s rock numbers.
