Energizing songs recommended for men in their 50s (21–30)
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.
LORIOUS DAYSHotei Tomoyasu
Not only as a guitarist but also as a composer and singer-songwriter, Tomoyasu Hotei has had a remarkable career.
While he isn’t the type known for powerful vocals, he has created many classic songs with his catchy musical style.
Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is LORIOUS DAYS.
Despite its loud sound and uptempo feel, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the melody line doesn’t fluctuate much in pitch, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score highly on throughout.
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.
In the Sun and the DustCHAGE and ASKA
A gem of a melody that portrays the dreams and setbacks of youth—and the strength to overcome them.
Released to the world by CHAGE and ASKA in January 1991, this work captures the persistence of those who keep pursuing their dreams, set to a 16-beat rhythm infused with a Western pop sensibility.
The chorus, simple yet striking, has a familiar charm that makes you want to sing along.
A single cut from the album “SEE YA,” it was featured in Nissin Foods’ “Cup Noodles Red Zone” campaign and as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s TIME3, becoming a major hit with cumulative sales exceeding 500,000 copies.
It’s a song that gently pushes you forward when you want to keep running toward unseen dreams—or when you find yourself at a crossroads in life.
lipsGLAY
An erotic number that captures both aching infatuation and passionate love.
Swept up by irresistible desire, the protagonist’s heart grows increasingly unsettled by feelings for their partner—expressed powerfully against GLAY’s signature, high-velocity sound.
The striking guitar riff and melody sung in a higher key further accentuate the emotions swirling within.
Released in May 1997, the song was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP” from April to June of the same year, and became a major hit as the band’s first Oricon No.
1.
It’s the perfect track for cranking up the energy with friends at karaoke or letting your feelings out.
Galaxy Express 999Godiego
This is a single released by Godiego in 1979, used as the theme song for the film version of Galaxy Express 999 (The Galaxy Express 999).
The lyrics were written with the meaning of “Let’s live not only for Japan, but toward the world.” To this day, it remains one of Godiego’s signature songs and has been covered by many artists, including the EXILE group.
After the FestivalKuwata Keisuke
It was released in 1994 as Keisuke Kuwata’s fifth single.
The song was used as the theme for the Nippon TV drama “Shizukanaru Don,” and among the singles Keisuke Kuwata released in the 1990s, it recorded the highest sales.
The lyrics are written from the perspective of a timid man who can’t catch a break, making it a kind of anthem for men that many listeners can relate to.
