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.
Broken RadioTokunaga Hideaki
This was his 10th single and one of Hideaki Tokunaga’s signature songs.
It reached No.
5 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and became a huge hit ballad, selling a total of about 360,000 copies.
He also performed it at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2006 and 2009, and it continues to be loved across generations.
Many people do impressions of Hideaki Tokunaga, but when you sing it at karaoke, I hope you’ll sing boldly in your own voice! The overall vocal range of the song is F#3 to A4, which may be comfortable for many male singers, but the chorus stays on the higher side, so if you’re not familiar with the song you might end up straining your throat.
It’s very important to keep your throat open and direct your breath toward the notes! Lift those facial muscles and sing with expression!

California ConnectionMizutani Yutaka
Actor Yutaka Mizutani has long been popular for his understated, nuanced performances.
Younger people may primarily associate him with “Aibou,” but for men in their 50s, his image as an artist might be just as strong.
Speaking of Mizutani’s classic songs, there’s “California Connection.” It’s a refined piece that exudes an adult atmosphere, built around a gently undulating vocal line with little dramatic fluctuation throughout.
The range is narrow and it doesn’t demand complex vocal techniques, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
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.
I want to hug you.Mr.Children
It’s an eternal love song written and composed by vocalist Kazutoshi Sakurai.
It first appeared on the album “Kind of Love.” Although total sales were about 60,000 copies, it later received Gold Disc certification and continues to be loved across generations.
The overall vocal range spans D3 to A#4, expanding and building toward the latter half.
When singing, project your voice confidently without hesitation to maintain stability throughout.
Since head voice appears at the end of the chorus, keep resonance in your head so you can transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.
Also, the final chorus modulates upward.
Raise your energy and stay mindful so your pitch doesn’t drop!
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?
JAMTHE YELLOW MONKEY
Released on the leap day of February 29, 1996, this was THE YELLOW MONKEY’s ninth single and the signature song that cemented their breakthrough.
It reached No.
6 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, sold approximately 600,000 copies in total, and earned Gold and Platinum certifications.
It’s a triplet ballad in C major; if you focus on the drums, it’s especially easy to feel the rhythm and get into the groove.
The overall vocal range is D3 to F#4, which seems very comfortable to sing.
To avoid sounding flat when you sing, try rocking your whole body back and forth and be mindful of accents!
