For Men in Their 50s: Easy Karaoke Songs That Can Score High (21–30)

Yellow Magic Orchestra, a group that rose to fame with their inventive electronic music.

Their song “Kimi ni, Mune Kyun.” was composed from the perspective that, since they had been churning out hit numbers for idols at the time, it should be theoretically possible for them to become popular as “middle-aged idols” as well.

As a result, it features a catchy and somewhat cute melody.

The vocal range is narrow and the vocal line remains fairly even, making it easier to match the pitch bar.

A work renowned as one of the great ballads of the Heisei era, “Single Bed.” Considered a signature song of Sharan Q, it’s still frequently sung at karaoke and is popular in vocal training as well.

Its range is mid1 C# to mid2 G#, so it’s not extremely low, but because the more energetic phrases can be sung with a rich mid-to-low tone, it’s a piece that really brings out the appeal of men with lower voices.

By using a technique called the hiccup (hi-cup) singing method, you can further emphasize masculinity; try incorporating it to the extent that it doesn’t affect your scoring.

SaraiKayama Yūzō & Tanimura Shinji

Because it’s a song familiar from “24-Hour Television,” it’s known across a wide range of generations.

The biggest draw of this piece is, without a doubt, its rich, husky vocal line.

Although the arrangement is grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so it’s highly recommended for men with lower voices.

You’ll be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of your low tones.

Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “Bambina.” Thanks to its performance on the popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, the song has recently gained support from a fairly young audience as well.

While it’s an up-tempo track with a rock ’n’ roll feel, the vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s easy for singers of any voice type to handle.

If there’s one potential challenge, it would be the long sustained note at the end of the chorus.

It features the highest phrase in the song, but even then it doesn’t require a mixed voice.

As long as you focus on staying in tune, it’s a song with solid potential for scoring high marks.

Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK

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.

countrysideTamaki Kōji

Even after taking a break from performing with Anzen Chitai, Koji Tamaki has continued to leave behind numerous masterpieces as a singer-songwriter.

Among his many great songs, one I especially recommend for its singability and simple melodic line is Denen (Countryside).

Although its vocal range is very narrow—mid1 D to mid2 E—it still has well-prepared moments of excitement, making it a perfectly balanced song that’s both easy to sing and energizing.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Throughout the long history of Japanese pop music, many Christmas songs have been created, but when it comes to tracks with an especially cool vibe, this one—“Kurismasu Kyaroru no Koro ni wa” (When the Christmas Carol Comes Around)—is likely the first that comes to mind.

While the flashy arrangement leaves a strong impression, the vocal line is calm and the range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D# to mid2 G#.

It works great sung low and laid-back, and it also shines if you raise the key and throw in some shouts—so try it in whatever style you prefer.
