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.
Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE
As THE ALFEE, this is their 17th single.
It’s said that Takamizawa created this song with the conscious aim of making it “a hit that leads to the next,” and it has become one of their live staples! In later years, versions incorporating orchestral and classical elements were also released, and the ongoing evolution of the arrangement has drawn attention.
Having multiple versions makes it fun to listen, doesn’t it? It’s a band-rock track with a cool guitar right from the intro, so you’ll probably be hyped up and ready to deliver great vocals even before you start singing! The vocal range isn’t that high, so many men should find it easy to sing.
If you open your throat and project your voice as if sending it far, you’ll likely find it very comfortable to sing.
cherrysupittsu
This is the 13th single by the Japanese rock band Spitz, released in April 1996.
Although it came out during the heyday of J-pop in the ’90s, compared to songs from the ’80s and the Showa era, the melody might be a bit tricky for those who aren’t confident singers to tackle at karaoke.
That said, it’s a breezy, mid-tempo track with a shuffle beat, so there’s no need to sweat the small stuff—just enjoy it with the same upbeat spirit as the song! The key might be a little high, so please adjust it to suit your voice.
If you master mixed voice, I think many people will be able to sing it in the original key at this pitch.

My chest hurts.Yūkadan
Yukadan, who have led Japan’s blues scene with their distinctive vocal style and versatile musicianship.
Among their many classics, this is the song I especially recommend for men in their 50s.
It’s a superb ballad where lyrics about a bittersweet love and a wistful melody blend beautifully, included on their 1989 album “BIG TOWN, SMALL HANDS.” Because most of the song sits in the mid-range, it should be very easy to sing even if you’re not confident about your vocal power.
If you want to showcase age-appropriate sophistication at karaoke, give this one a try.
I knew it—I love you.yashiki takajin
This is the 13th single by Takajin Yashiki, a powerhouse singer Osaka is proud of, released in September 1986.
It’s a very memorable ballad with a lyrical melody and lyrics in Osaka dialect.
While Takajin is a singer with exceptional vocal ability and expressive power, the melody itself doesn’t cover a very wide range, making it easy for anyone to hum along.
Even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to enjoy performing it at karaoke.
Sing it with rich emotion, pouring your feelings into it for the one you love.
Tokyoyashiki takajin
This is Takajin Yashiki’s 20th single, released in March 1993.
It was a big hit, selling over 600,000 copies.
Although the title is “Tokyo,” it’s striking that parts of the lyrics are in Kansai dialect.
Musically, it was produced in the 1990s, a time when having a song that’s often sung at karaoke was considered a key to making a hit, and it certainly is very easy to sing and remember.
In terms of vocal range, it’s set so that almost anyone can sing it comfortably, so even those who aren’t confident singers can pick it at karaoke and enjoy humming along.
If you struggle with high notes, try lowering the key on the karaoke machine.
