For Men in Their 50s: Aim for High Scores! Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs (1–10)

Forget-me-notOzaki Yutaka

Forget-me-notOzaki Yutaka

This is one of Yutaka Ozaki’s signature ballads and a hugely popular song among fans! I imagine many people sing it at karaoke.

The overall vocal range is B2–A4, and while the chorus features Ozaki’s distinctive, impassioned, pleading delivery, you should hold back your emotions and focus on accurate pitch when doing scoring.

The melody line is simple and easy for anyone to remember.

However, because the contrast in pitch between the verses (A–B sections) and the chorus can feel pronounced, be mindful to keep your facial muscles lifted and project from the same placement throughout so you can sing without straining your throat.

Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE

“Hoshizora no Distance” is a signature song that epitomizes THE ALFEE’s driving rock sound.

The lead vocal is by bassist Masaru Sakurai.

The energy is high right from the intro, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser live, but be careful not to rush the tempo as the excitement builds.

The original tempo isn’t actually that fast—more of a steady feel.

The vocal range climbs after a key change in the middle, so you’ll want to lock in those pitches without hesitation.

Visualize clearly and sing with intention.

The overall range of the song is F#3 to A#4, and since the final melody goes higher, keep the notes in mind and add a light accent there.

When it comes to karaoke repertoire, “Shima Uta” is a must, don’t you think? It incorporates elements of Okinawan music and has a poignant tone with themes of nature, prayer, and parting.

The overall range spans A#2 to A4, leaning wide on the low end, but if you manage your breath well, you can stay on pitch.

The melody is very simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.

When aiming for a high score, be careful not to slip during the section where the tempo speeds up at the end, and nail the finish.

For the low notes, focus on sending your breath forward slowly.

Let your body resonate and go for a top score!

For Men in Their 50s: Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs That Can Score High (11–20)

LOVE LOVE SHOWTHE YELLOW MONKEY

THE YELLOW MONKEY – LOVE LOVE SHOW
LOVE LOVE SHOWTHE YELLOW MONKEY

Despite having no tie-in, it became a long-running hit that stayed in the Top 10 for five consecutive weeks—a signature track where The Yellow Monkey’s trademark sultriness fuses with the driving energy of rock.

Among fans, it’s often said to be “the most Yemon-like” song.

The vocal range isn’t very high, the melody is simple, and there aren’t many pitch jumps, so you may find it easy to sing.

Since it’s band rock, the snare drum sound is the key point; if you feel the groove slightly behind the beat, it’ll be easier to lock into the song.

Keep solid time with your body, and be careful not to overproject your voice.

Someday Merry ChristmasB’z

B’z – Itsuka no Merry Christmas
Someday Merry ChristmasB'z

A signature Christmas ballad by B’z that beautifully portrays a bittersweet love story.

The overall vocal range is E3–A4, which is relatively calm for B’z and makes it easier to sing.

To score high at karaoke, the key points are dynamic contrast from the quiet verse into the chorus and stable control of the high notes.

When the chorus hits, the full band sound kicks in and the tempo tends to feel like it’s rushing, so it’s important to sing carefully.

There’s a brief pitch lift in the final chorus that’s crucial—don’t overthink it; just lightly match the pitch bar! Using your hand to gently flick upward as you sing may help you hit it cleanly.

ChampionArisu

A dramatic rock ballad that really resonates with men in their 50s.

It’s also said to be surprisingly easy to score well on in karaoke.

The overall vocal range is D3 to G#4, which is basically on the lower side, so if you sing calmly you shouldn’t rush the tempo and it should be easy to sing.

In the chorus, all three members of Alice sing in harmony at once, so you’ll need to firmly confirm the main melody.

To sing with a rich, rugged tone, try resonating fully in your mouth and imagine projecting a beam from your whole mouth—this will give your voice more depth.

Opening your mouth vertically may also help.

Give it a try and sing it with your best voice!

Premonition of Loveanzenchitai

The classic hit “Koi no Yokan” by Anzenchitai.

While the lyrics are bittersweet, the melody itself exudes a very sultry allure, and it’s regarded as an essential track when discussing ’80s pop ballads.

Despite featuring many low notes, the song’s vocal line is generally easy to sing.

In the latter part of the chorus, the pitch suddenly jumps on the word “kakenukeru,” which some may find difficult.

If that’s the case, try pronouncing it more like “ku-kyenukeru.” It’s a simple tweak, but just changing the pronunciation can improve your vocal production, so I recommend it.
