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.
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.
I know it’s bothersome, but…Tonneruzu
Now firmly established as legendary comedians and a vocal duo that has released numerous classic songs, Tunnels delivered their 11th single, “Meiwaku Deshou ga…” (“Sorry for the Trouble…”), which was even covered by Hiroshi Itsuki.
It’s a track where the spoken monologue evokes the TV drama ‘Zenryaku Ofukuro-sama,’ and deserves special attention.
The blend of Takaaki Ishibashi’s and Noritake Kinashi’s distinct voices rides a melody that perfectly suits its wistful arrangement.
It’s a lyrical ballad that belies its origins as a comic song.
loverSuzuki Masayuki
Another recommendation is “Koibito” (“Lover”), which is getting attention again right now.
It was released in 1993 as a lead single from the album “Perfume.” The song had long been loved by many, but after it was performed on THE FIRST TAKE in 2020, it became popular with an even wider range of generations.
The song expresses pure love for a romantic partner.
It’s a classic love ballad, so learning it will likely be useful in many ways.
The whisper-voice sections are especially appealing, so try focusing your practice there!
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.
DO YA DOCHAGE and ASKA
Released as the lead single from the 13th album “SEE YA” and featured in a Toyota Motor “Sprinter Carib” commercial, the 25th single “DO YA DO” delivers a stylish melody and chord progression that still creates a pleasantly breezy atmosphere today.
Although the key is high, the vocal range is narrow, so it’s easy to sing if you adjust the key to suit your voice.
You can sing it solo, but it’s also a fun number to perform with friends thanks to the call-and-response in the chorus.
