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.
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.
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.
CoolGō Hiromi
I can’t help but be enchanted by its urban, sophisticated sound.
“Cool” here is the 56th single, released in 1985.
From deep within its calm melodic line, you can feel a tenderness toward a special woman gently seeping through.
It even makes me feel as if it’s being sung just for me.
Since the vocal range is relatively narrow, you should be able to take your time and sing it with ease.
By the way, there’s also a full English version of this song, so it might be fun to give that a try as well.
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.
dragonflyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
It’s Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 20th single in total, released in October 1988.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Tonbo,” in which Nagabuchi himself starred, and it became a million seller.
It’s one of the iconic folk-rock songs of the Heisei era.
To make this song sound good at karaoke, the key is, above all, how you handle the pauses—the “ma” between phrases and between lines.
Vocally, there aren’t many particularly difficult melodic parts, so try singing while keeping a solid sense of rhythm.
Since Nagabuchi’s singing style is very distinctive, it’s perfectly fine to have fun doing an impression of him, including the scat sections in the intro and elsewhere!
White LoversKuwata Keisuke
A gem of a ballad, rich with emotion and singing of the bittersweet love of winter, has arrived from Keisuke Kuwata.
It’s a moving piece that looks back on warm memories of love, as if wrapped in snow, with a sense of blessing.
Rather than lamenting a past romance as merely a failure, it strikingly celebrates the moments of that love from the heart.
Alongside a beautiful, resonant melody, it conveys a gentle warmth within the winter cold.
Released in October 2001, the song was featured in a Coca-Cola commercial and sold 520,000 copies on the Oricon weekly chart.
It’s a perfect choice for winter karaoke with family and close friends when you want to share heartwarming memories.
