Goodbye, TearsSuzuki Masayuki

Masayuki Suzuki released a full cover album titled “DISCOVER JAPAN III.” It features many classic songs, but the easiest to sing among them is “Namida-kun Sayonara.” The song was originally released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1965.

While the original gives a gentle, tender impression, the cover version is performed with a powerful, R&B-like vocal style.

That said, it preserves the charm of the original.

Try listening to the original and the cover side by side to note the differences and practice.

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.

No matter how far away you areGō Hiromi

This song was chosen as the theme for the drama Kao Ai no Gekijō: Mama wa Dai Pinch!! “Donna ni Kimi ga Hanareteitatte” is the 70th single, released in 1996.

While it has a brisk rhythm, it’s not exactly a high-energy track; if anything, it has a sultry finish.

The lyrics, which portray unwavering love, fit it perfectly.

Try to stay mindful of the tempo when you sing it.

Perfect for creating a sophisticated, adult atmosphere at karaoke.

These days, the idea of the “strong man” has gone out of fashion, but men in their 50s might be the last generation from when that mindset still lingered.

Men take the lead, and women follow—outdated as it may be, there are surely some who still find that comfortable.

This song is for men feeling stressed in the gap between that reality and their ideals.

Even so, it’s a touching song that doesn’t forget the sincere affection for one’s wife.

lipsGLAY

An erotic number that depicts aching infatuation and passionate love.

Swept up by irresistible desire, the protagonist’s heart grows ever more unsettled by feelings for their lover, powerfully expressed over GLAY’s signature, fast-driving sound.

The striking guitar riff and high-key melody further accentuate the emotions swirling within.

Released in May 1997, the song was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP from April to June of the same year, and became the band’s first Oricon No.

1 hit.

It’s the perfect track to crank up the energy with friends at karaoke or to let your feelings out.

The song “BIG TREE,” included on their 14th album TREE and used in a Panasonic commercial, was created with the intention of becoming the core of the album.

Its grand, dreamlike sound and dramatic lyrics generate a sweeping sense of scale that draws you into its world.

Although the melody features many leaps and can be easy to go off-pitch, the relaxed tempo makes it approachable if you sing in a key that suits your voice.

It’s a delicate yet powerful number, with an evocative ensemble that overwhelms the senses.

Muen-zakasadamasashi

Muen-zaka was the final single by Grape, the folk duo of Masashi Sada and Masami Yoshida.

The song expresses a son’s feelings toward his mother, who has endured many hardships.

Its heart-wrenching lyrics and bittersweet melody continue to be loved by many to this day.

Although the piece sits in a relatively high key that showcases Sada’s beautiful voice, the melody actually moves mostly in stepwise motion, making it surprisingly easy to sing.

Of course, you don’t need to stick to the original key—adjust it to suit your own voice.

This song is quintessentially Masashi Sada in the way it conveys love for family, so try singing it while thinking of your own loved ones.
