Under the big onionbakufū suranpu
Bakufu Slump’s “Under the Big Onion” is known as a moving classic.
It’s also not at all difficult to sing.
With its slow tempo, you can sing it carefully, making it a recommended song for tone-deaf men in their 50s.
B-BlueBOØWY
Among men in their early 50s, many probably listened to BOØWY quite a lot.
BOØWY left behind many memorable rock classics, and among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is B-Blue.
While the song features a heartbeat-raising, striking melody, its vocal range is surprisingly narrow and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.
It’s a song you can handle even when your throat is worn out after a second party, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Farewell to the Days of YouthArisu
Alice, the folk group that stirred up Japan’s 1970s music scene with their distinctive musicality.
Their 10th single, “Saraba Seishun no Toki,” released in 1977, can rightly be called a masterpiece that resonates deeply with men in their 50s.
With lyrics and composition by Shinji Tanimura, the song conveys profound emotion and a strong message, depicting the end of youth and the hope of a new beginning.
A powerful sense of moving forward without looking back permeates the entire piece.
It’s also a song often performed with audience participation at live shows, so the vocal lines in every part are simple.
Give it a try.
TownscapeOzaki Yutaka
Yutaka Ozaki’s song “Townscape” vividly portrays the sterile atmosphere of the city and the loneliness of youth.
With most of the song arranged in a low register—aside from part of the chorus—it’s easy to sing even for those who are older.
The track is included on the 1983 album “Seventeen’s Map.” Despite being his debut album, it was highly acclaimed, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon charts.
When you’re worn out by everyday life or feel like you’re losing sight of life’s meaning, why not give this song a listen? You’re sure to find new hope.
HELLOFukuyama Masaharu
Released in 1995, “HELLO” became a big hit as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama ‘The Best Unrequited Love: WHITE LOVE STORY.’ Since it’s sung by Fukuyama, the overall vocal range of the song is D#3–F#4, which isn’t very high, so I think it’s easy even for beginners to sing.
However, the tempo is a bit fast, so be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
The melody is very simple and easy to remember.
In the A and B sections, cut off the word endings and be mindful of the pauses so you don’t rush.
At the start of the chorus, make sure to put your voice firmly into the mic—this should also enhance your expressiveness!
The White LoversKuwata Keisuke
As a solo artist, Keisuke Kuwata’s seventh single overall, released in October 2001.
It was used as the song for Coca-Cola’s “No Reason” campaign commercials, in which Kuwata himself appeared, as well as for UNIQLO’s “LifeWear/HEATTECH: Winter Is the Time to Go Outside” commercials.
You could truly call this a staple of late-’90s to early-2000s J-pop.
Many songs from that era are very easy to sing, and this ballad is no exception—it’s something anyone can casually sing and enjoy.
It might even be fun to sing it while doing a Kuwata-style impression, don’t you think?
Forget-me-notOzaki Yutaka
This is one of Yutaka Ozaki’s signature ballads and a hugely popular song among fans! I imagine many people sing it at karaoke.
The overall vocal range is B2–A4, and while the chorus features Ozaki’s distinctive, impassioned, pleading delivery, you should hold back your emotions and focus on accurate pitch when doing scoring.
The melody line is simple and easy for anyone to remember.
However, because the contrast in pitch between the verses (A–B sections) and the chorus can feel pronounced, be mindful to keep your facial muscles lifted and project from the same placement throughout so you can sing without straining your throat.
