Energizing Songs Recommended for Men in Their 50s (11–20)

Traveler ~The Longest Journeybakufū suranpu

[MV] Traveler, The Longest Journey (25th Anniversary Version)
Traveler ~The Longest Journeybakufū suranpu

It was released in 1996 as Bakufu Slump’s 29th single.

Created as a support song for the “Saru Iwashi: Hitchhiking Across the Eurasian Continent” project within the Nippon TV variety show ‘Susume! Denpa Shōnen,’ it’s a track whose powerful sound and vocals give you energy.

Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z

B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.

While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.

Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.

If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.

It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY

ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.

Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.

Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.

I can’t be single‑minded.kome kome CLUB

Kome Kome Club is a group that has produced many great songs with their uniquely original musical style.

Many men in their 50s probably have some of their hits in their repertoire.

One track I recommend is Hitosuji ni Narenai.

It’s a fairly orthodox pop song, and the vocal range sits comfortably in the easy-to-sing low to mid register.

It also has good dynamic contrast, so if you stay on pitch, it’s a piece that will likely leave people thinking you sing well.

GLORIAZIGGY

ZIGGY’s biggest hit number, “GLORIA.” Because it’s a bright song that fully showcases ZIGGY’s style, you might think there are many parts where you have to belt.

Surprisingly, though, it doesn’t require much volume, nor is the vocal range particularly wide.

The chorus melody rises gently, which makes it relatively easy to keep the pitch steady.

However, due to the song’s upward-tilting phrasing, you will need a certain level of stamina, as you may start feeling tension around your temples as the pitch goes higher.

Don’t get carried away by the song’s brightness and set the key too high.

TRAIN-TRAINZa Burū Hātsu

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS 'TRAIN-TRAIN' [3rd Single (1988/11/23)] THE BLUE HEARTS / TRAIN-TRAIN
TRAIN-TRAINZa Burū Hātsu

The Blue Hearts’ classic “TRAIN-TRAIN” was a long-running hit from the 1980s into the early 2000s.

True to the Blue Hearts’ style, this track is a passionate punk rock song characterized by its raw sound.

You might expect it to be hard on the throat vocally, but it actually sits within a relatively narrow range of mid1 G# to mid2 F#.

The vocal line itself isn’t complex; however, starting from the second verse, it incorporates a slightly spoken delivery, which brings subtle pitch variations compared to the first verse.

Because this spoken-like quality isn’t a purely musical pitch change, be sure to carefully learn it by ear.

Energizing songs recommended for men in their 50s (21–30)

Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK

[Official] J-WALK “Speechless… Summer”
Can't Say Anything... SummerTHE JAYWALK

J-WALK has produced many classic songs.

Their success up until Koichi Nakamura left the band was remarkable, and they had a large male fanbase.

I believe many men in their 50s were fans as well.

Their biggest hit, “Nani mo Ienakute… Natsu,” is highly recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal line has little fluctuation, and there aren’t any particularly high parts, so singers of any range can handle it easily as long as the key is adjusted.

However, because the song contains many long tones, you’ll need to control your volume within the stamina limits of your diaphragm.

As long as you keep that in mind, it’s a song where you can aim for a high score.
