[Men in Their 50s, Gather Round!] Classic Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers & Easy-to-Sing Hits (191–200)

Final Chapter (Epilogue)CHAGE and ASKA

Final Chapter (Epilogue) – CHAGE & ASKA
Final Chapter (Epilogue)CHAGE and ASKA

CHAGE & ASKA’s classic song, “Final Chapter (Epilogue).” This piece was composed by CHAGE.

Compared to ASKA’s compositions, CHAGE’s tend to be more catchy, featuring singable vocal lines.

In this song, the vocal line is lyrically expressive and filled with poignancy, yet the overall structure is very simple.

There aren’t dramatic leaps in pitch, and the range isn’t particularly wide, making it an easy song to sing.

Give it a try.

There’s always tomorrowUrufuruzu

Ulfuls Ashita ga Aru sa Vietsub There’s Always Tomorrow!!
There's always tomorrowUrufuruzu

The original song was released as a single by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, and the version I’m introducing here is a cover by Ulfuls.

The melody of this song is quintessential Showa-era kayōkyoku—simple and easy to sing, the kind anyone can hum along to.

Even those who aren’t confident singers should be fine choosing it at karaoke! Sing it bright and cheerfully!

LA VIE EN ROSEYoshikawa Koji

Since his debut, singer-songwriter Koji Kikkawa has continued to make his presence felt both in music and acting.

His third single, “LA VIE EN ROSE,” is notable for its stylish ensemble featuring thrilling synth sounds.

With no large leaps in pitch and a moderate melodic flow, it should be approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.

It’s a recommended karaoke song for people in their 50s—one to sing while channeling the ever-sharp Koji Kikkawa, who hasn’t lost his edge with age.

CAFE BLEUKuwata Keisuke

It’s a song that conveys a refreshing atmosphere, as if you’re gazing at the scenery from a café terrace.

It was featured as the commercial song for Morinaga Milk Industry’s “Mount Rainier Double,” starring Keisuke Kuwata.

The light, acoustic guitar-centered sound evokes a vast yet gentle seascape.

The lyrics, depicting a love story at a seaside café terrace, are memorable, and the tender emotions come through directly.

With its calm rhythm and gentle melody making it easy to sing, relax and perform so the song’s world truly comes across.

Calling all men in their 50s! Classic crowd-pleasers for karaoke & easy-to-sing masterpieces (201–210)

Wild BoyKawashima Eigo

Many men in their 50s have children, and some may have sons who are about to reach adulthood.

For those fathers, I recommend “Nokozō.” This song, which ruggedly sings about what a father wants to do with his son when he turns 20, is perfect for coloring the father–son relationship.

The vocal line leans heavily into enka and kayōkyoku influences, so it’s simple overall.

The chorus sits in the mid-to-high range; if that part feels difficult, try lowering the key by one semitone.

Dramatic RainInagaki Junichi

Junichi Inagaki’s classic “Dramatic Rain.” This song is one of his hits, released in 1982.

It features a melody that evokes the urban night, a trend at the time.

While many of Inagaki’s songs are known for their wide vocal range, this one is surprisingly modest in that regard.

Even so, it retains a sultry, sophisticated mood, making it a great choice for those who aren’t confident singers but want to exude mature allure.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Come for loveSaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – Come for Love [Music Video Short ver.]
Come for loveSaitō Kazuyoshi

A passionate love song that portrays the heart of a woman who lives for love.

“Ai ni Kite,” included on the 12th album I ♥ ME released in 2007, is a mid-tempo track chosen for UHA Mikakuto’s e-ma throat lozenges commercial.

The way its straightforward lyrics—“I want to see you”—are paired with an understated, unforced melody feels very much like Saito-san’s style.

It’s great for karaoke, of course, and I think it’s also perfect for solo performances on guitar or piano.
