For Men in Their 50s: Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs That Can Score High (11–20)
A Tearful RequestChekkāzu
The Checkers’ classic “Namida no Request.” It’s a rock-style song infused with the essence of kayōkyoku, yet it also has a refreshing quality reminiscent of surf music.
It’s popular with both women and men, and in fact, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
The biggest reason is the relatively flat vocal line.
There are no phrases that require dramatic rises and falls in pitch.
On top of that, the range—mid1 F# to hi D#—is a generally accessible one, making it, overall, a very easy song to sing.
In the night sky after the rainImawano Kiyoshirō
Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.
Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.
While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.
The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
ChinatownYazawa Eikichi
Eikichi Yazawa has produced many classic songs.
There are probably men in their 50s who have been fans since his Carol days.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Chinatown.
The song’s range is relatively narrow, from mid1 B to mid2 G#.
If you’re just following the pitch, it should be quite manageable.
However, since Yazawa uses a shout-inflected singing style, trying to imitate that will make the difficulty skyrocket.
So avoid sticking too closely to the original and sing it in a key that suits you.
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.
Keisuke KuwataMayonaka no Dandī
Songs by Keisuke Kuwata and Southern All Stars are well-received across a wide range of age groups, so they’re great picks in any setting! This time’s “Mayonaka no Dandy” was first released as a solo single in 1993.
The vocal range sits around B3 on average, and the simple melody line makes it easy to remember and sing.
Precisely because the melody is simple, small pitch deviations can stand out when matched to a pitch bar, but if you sing carefully, your score will definitely go up! When moving from the A and B sections into the chorus, the pitch rises a bit, so try to sing lightly without tensing up overall—keep your facial muscles lifted as you sing! Once you’re comfortable, you could add a slight shout like Kuwata does, but if your score isn’t improving, it might strain your throat, so better not to do it…
RunawayRATS&STAR
When it comes to the groups that laid the foundation for soul music and R&B in Japan, Rats & Star surely comes to mind.
As their black-coated appearance suggested, they had deep respect for Black music.
Their song “Runaway” is one of their signature tracks, blending elements of Black music with kayōkyoku and J-pop into a very singable style.
The vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D# to mid2 G, so as long as you focus on the groove, you should be able to aim for a high score.

ff (fortissimo)HOUND DOG
“ff (Fortissimo)” is a high-energy rock song that’s very popular.
At live shows, it’s so loved that fans often sing an entire chorus together.
In karaoke scoring, imitating Otomo’s shouts will actually cost you points, so just follow the pitch bar honestly.
The melody is quite simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing! If you listen closely to the band’s snare drum and match your rhythm with its timing, it’ll be easier to sing.
Be careful not to cut the sustained notes in the chorus too short.
Basically, sing confidently and make sure your voice goes solidly into the mic—that should help you get a high score!
