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.
March Toward TomorrowKuwata Keisuke
It’s a cheer song that lightly calls on us to move toward a happy future, filled with a bright sense of hope.
After being used as an NTT Docomo commercial song in 2011, it was also featured in a Uniqlo commercial in 2021.
It’s said to have been written with hopes for the recovery of areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and its light sound evokes an image of trying to ease painful feelings.
The gentle yet buoyant tempo makes it easy to sing, and singing it in a relaxed manner may further enhance the song’s atmosphere.
SUMMER SUSPICIONSugiyama Kiyotaka & Omega Tribe
Omega Tribe was a band that enjoyed major success from the early 1980s to the early 1990s.
Like Southern All Stars and TUBE, they’re known for having many summer songs.
Before their debut, they changed their name to Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe and left behind many classic tracks.
SUMMER SUSPICION is their debut work.
While it has a refreshing vibe, it also conveys a mature atmosphere.
The song has a somewhat wide vocal range, but the melody line itself is Showa kayō-style and fairly simple.
Men in their 50s who don’t find the mid-to-high range taxing should definitely give it a try.
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.
So alluring it makes you faintChar
Char is a rock musician known for his overwhelming guitar technique.
While he has left behind many great songs, the one I especially recommend as easy for men in their 50s to sing is Kizetsu suru hodo Nayamashii.
Notably, it was his first release that he didn’t compose himself, giving it a slightly kayōkyoku-like, catchy feel.
The vocal range is a bit on the wider side, but it’s mostly set in the low to lower-mid range, so men in their 50s should be able to sing it without any problem.
Teens BluesHarada Shinji
Singer-songwriter Shinji Harada, who was hugely active during the New Music boom.
If you’re a man in your 50s, you probably grew up listening to his songs, right? Among Harada’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is Teens Blues.
This piece is characterized by a delicate blend of pop and rock—a style later seen in artists like Quruli and Kenji Ozawa.
While the vocal line in this song has somewhat pronounced rises and falls in pitch, the tempo itself is slow, so it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
Wandering Love SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
People in their early 40s belong to a generation for whom laid-back, Unicorn-style rock was trendy, while those in their late 40s grew up exposed to more masculine rock as well.
Many of you may even have listened to Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s songs.
With that in mind, I recommend “Junrenka.” This piece incorporates some folk elements and is arranged primarily in the lower-mid to mid vocal range throughout.
Although a slightly higher phrase appears toward the end of the chorus, it still sits around the mid-high range, so you should hardly encounter any issues from a vocal production standpoint.
