For Men in Their 50s: Aim for High Scores! Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs (31–40)

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.

Legend of DreamsSutādasuto☆Rebyū

Since Stardust Revue’s Mr.

Kaname Nemoto has a wide vocal range and a high voice, men in their 50s—even if they’re fans of his generation—may tend to avoid singing his songs.

That’s why I recommend Yume Densetsu.

In this song, the lowest note is mid1 F# and the highest is high B.

While it’s on the higher side overall, the low range is narrow, so the overall range required is about average.

In other words, as long as you can adjust the key, it’s quite singable.

It may still feel a bit high, but the vocal line itself is simple, making it a song with solid potential for a high score.

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.

Go-Go HeavenŌsawa Yoshiyuki

Speaking of Yoshiyuki Osawa, I think his songs that subtly evoke R&B and have a black music flavor leave a strong impression.

Those kinds of tracks often feature rhythms uncommon in Japanese music, making them fairly challenging, but “Go Go Heaven” is different.

As a song by Yoshiyuki Osawa, this one is crafted as a particularly orthodox rock number.

While the range reaches from mid2A to hiA and is on the higher side, the overall range is narrow, making key adjustments easy and giving it outstanding singability.

The groove is lively with a straightforward rhythm, so it should also be easy to keep pitch.

For Men in Their 50s: Easy Karaoke Songs That Can Score High (41–50)

240 Million Eyes – Exotic JapanGō Hiromi

Hiromi Go – 240 Million Eyes -Exotic Japan- / THE FIRST TAKE
240 Million Eyes - Exotic JapanGō Hiromi

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.

BE MY BABYCOMPLEX

“BE MY BABY,” a signature track by COMPLEX.

Its sound features distinctive synthesizers that highlight the essence of 1980s Japanese rock.

While the song carries a rock ’n’ roll vibe, the vocal line retains a calmness reminiscent of kayōkyoku (Japanese pop).

As proof, the vocal range is quite narrow, spanning roughly mid1 E to mid2 D.

Having basics like vibrato will make it easier to rack up bonus points at karaoke, but even without such fine techniques, simply keeping pitch is enough to aim for a score of 90 or higher.
