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

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.

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.

Hiromi Go’s classic “240 Million Eyes – Exotic Japan,” which frequently appears on variety shows and the like, was a highly original work for its time.

Its melodic style features hallmarks of kayōkyoku while still fitting within J‑POP.

Partly because of those kayōkyoku elements, the song is arranged within a fairly narrow vocal range of mid1 D to mid2 F.

Regardless of gender, it should be singable without difficulty if you choose an appropriate key.

It’s also a popular karaoke number, so try boosting the excitement with a score challenge.

KISS MEHimuro Kyosuke

Among men in their 50s—especially those in the latter half—many were likely profoundly impacted by Kyosuke Himuro.

Of all his songs, the one I particularly recommend is “KISS ME.” It’s an excellent choice for achieving a high score.

The biggest reason is its vocal range: mid1C to mid2G, which is among the narrowest even for male-vocal tracks.

While singing with a slightly nasal tone like Himuro—technically not the orthodox method—makes it easier to sing, so simply emulating the original performance can be enough to aim for a high score.

Dramatic RainInagaki Junichi

Junichi Inagaki is a male singer known for his distinctive vocal delivery.

With his unique musical style that blends city pop and AOR into kayōkyoku, he has produced many classics.

Among them, the song I especially recommend for aiming for a high karaoke score is Dramatic Rain.

Its vocal range is relatively narrow at mid1 D# to hi A, and the vocal line’s rises and falls are gentle.

Men in their 50s who are familiar with kayōkyoku melodies should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Be sure to check it out.

I tell lies with these eyes.CHAGE and ASKA

The music duo CHAGE and ASKA have left behind many great songs.

Among their works, “Boku wa Kono Hitomi de Uso wo Tsuku” is renowned as a masterpiece.

Although its uptempo nature might make it seem challenging, the range spans mid1 F to hi A# and isn’t particularly wide.

Moreover, the average pitch centers around mid2 F, which is a comfortable range for male singers, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
