Calling all men in their 50s! Classic crowd-pleasers for karaoke & easy-to-sing hits (31–40)
Journey of the Heartchūrippu
It’s a big hit by Tulip.
The melody line is gentle, the range isn’t very high, and I think it’s easy to sing.
By the way, “Kokoro no Tabi” has been covered by Masaharu Fukuyama and many others, so it’s fun to look for the version you like! Tulip’s songs have a choral feel with a relaxed tempo, and there are parts that really shine when sung, so I highly recommend them as easy-to-sing songs! It’s nice to have everyone join in for the chorus, and sing the non-chorus parts comfortably.
Since the range leans toward the lower, easier-to-produce notes, be careful not to strain your throat.
If you keep your eyebrows raised and project your voice into the distance, your vocal cords will resonate and you’ll be able to sing more easily!
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.
Boy in the back alleyHamada Shogo
Shogo Hamada’s debut single, released in April 1976.
Since then, several remade versions have been released.
If you’re in your 50s, you’ve probably heard it at least once—it’s a classic of Showa-era Japan! I still clearly remember how deeply I connected with the lyrics when I first heard the song.
The vocal melody is very easy to remember and sing, so I hope you’ll enjoy singing it along with memories of your younger days!
Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu
The Checkers, with Fumiya Fujii on vocals, were hugely popular as an idol-style band in the 1980s.
I love the intro to this song, and it modulates at the end so the pitch goes up! It’s just too cool.
The same melodic line repeats several times, and the overall range sits comfortably for male voices, so it seems perfect for singing along and having fun.
By the way, did you know the very last phrase after the key change in the final chorus goes even higher? When you sing it at karaoke, focus on that part and nail the pitch—you’ll land it in style! In general, if you keep your energy up while singing, your vocal cords will resonate better and the high notes will come out more easily, so go for it with confidence!
Island SongTHE BOOM
The Boom’s “Shima Uta” was a smash hit that took the world by storm.
It’s no exaggeration to say there’s no one who doesn’t know it.
Don’t worry too much about how well you sing—just belt it out.
That might be the way to overcome your fear of karaoke.

Young manSaijō Hideki
“Y.M.C.A.” has become a staple cheer song at school events and sports competitions.
The arm-swinging choreography went viral—these days, it feels like there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know it! With an intro that instantly lifts your spirits, doesn’t it just make you smile? That smiling expression is really important: when your facial muscles naturally lift, your voice comes out more easily, making it much easier to sing! Plus, doing the choreography helps your body relax, which also makes projecting your voice easier.
Above all, the best thing is to just have fun singing it!
OverMr.Children
It captures the early-1990s Mr.Children vibe: guitar-driven rock that keeps a pop sensibility, with introspective lyrics matching the poignant melody.
The overall range is D3 to A#4, which might be a bit higher than the average male range.
Especially that chest-voice G#4 after a run of F4s in the chorus—that’s the spot you want to hit smoothly! The key to high notes is explosiveness.
If you deliver every phrase with a slight accent, you gain momentum and the voice comes out more easily.
After that, switch to head voice.
Exhale straight upward to build that momentum.
Lifting your facial muscles makes the transition smoother, so keep those facial muscles lifted throughout.
