Kuroneko no Tango – Black Cat Tango

For men in their 50s, one especially nostalgic song would be “Black Cat Tango” (“Kuroneko no Tango”).

It was Osamu Minagawa’s debut single and is originally an Italian children’s song that he covered.

It’s sure to be a hit if you sing it at karaoke.

Sarai

“Sarai,” by Shinji Tanimura and Yuzo Kayama, is also a quintessential feel-good anthem.

As you may know from its background as the charity song for Nippon TV’s 24-Hour Television, singing it is sure to encourage anyone who listens.

Sakura and Ichiro / Showa Withered Pampas Grass 1974.7 Sakura & Ichiro

Released in 1975, Sakura and Ichiro’s “Showa Kare Susuki” was a massive hit at the time and was even called a social phenomenon.

Strictly speaking, it’s not a cheer song, but for some reason singing it gives you energy.

Since it’s a duet, it makes you want to invite someone and sing together.

As long as the sun is in the skynishikino akira

As long as the sun is in the sky

I think many people listen to or sing Akira Nishikino’s “As Long as the Sun Is in the Sky” to lift their spirits.

It truly took the world by storm, a classic that represents the Showa era, and it’s still often sung at karaoke and played on television today.

Alice Champion

I think there are many men in their 50s who are huge fans of Alice.

Their songs carry a certain masculine spirit and romanticism, with a kind of allure you don’t find in recent bands.

Their signature song “Champion” could rightfully be called a classic of motivational anthems.
