[2026] Recommended Japanese Pop Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 50s (111–120)
Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Kondō Masahiko
Released in 1981 as Masahiko Kondo’s fourth single.
The song was used in commercials for House Foods’ “Curry Kukure” and FujiFilm’s “Utsurundesu” (QuickSnap).
It topped the Oricon charts and won the Best New Artist award at the 23rd Japan Record Awards.
It’s a popular track that also opened the white team’s performances at the 32nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

B-BlueBOØWY
Among men in their early 50s, many likely listened to BOØWY.
The band left behind numerous memorable rock classics, and among them, the song I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “B-Blue.” While its heart-pounding melody is striking, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.
It’s a song you can comfortably handle even when your voice is worn out after a second party, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
SPARKTHE YELLOW MONKEY
This is a rock number by THE YELLOW MONKEY that sings of passionate love.
It paints a worldview where you close your eyes and share a space with the night, and within its sensual expressions lies a pure heart wishing for eternal love.
The energetic guitar riffs and rhythm section leave a strong impression, and Kazuya Yoshii’s distinctive vocals resound over the dynamic sound.
Released in July 1996, the song drew attention as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Handsome Man.” It was also included on the album “SICKS” and reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It’s a perfect song for enjoying karaoke with friends, full of a charm that lets everyone open their hearts and sing along.
Ruby RingTerao Akira
A signature song from the late Showa era.
It also became a hot topic for topping the music show “The Best Ten” for 12 consecutive weeks.
The trick to singing it well is to create a clear contrast between the A and B sections.
The A section, where you can shrug your shoulders to keep the rhythm, has a distinctive accent.
In contrast, the more melodious B section often features lines where you extend the endings.
It’s especially recommended for gatherings of middle-aged folks.
Since the song has an urban vibe, I think it looks coolest if you sing it with bold sophistication.
Honestly, I’m sorry.Chekkāzu
It was released in 1988 as The Checkers’ 17th single.
The lyrics were written by Fumiya Fujii and the music was composed by Naoyuki Fujii.
It was The Checkers’ last single released in the Showa era.
Fumiya Fujii later self-covered the song on his 2002 self-cover album “Re Take.”
single bedSha ran Q
This is Sharam Q’s sixth single, released in October 1994.
It was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime D・N・A²: A Girl Who’s Lost in Another World, and it became Sharam Q’s first million-selling hit.
It’s a classic, laid-back rock ballad! The way the lyrics fit the vocal melody is very straightforward, and the melodic range is easy for anyone to sing.
Even people who don’t usually sing will find it very approachable.
If you memorize the lyrics and sing with feeling, it will sound even better, so definitely give it a try!
HEROKai Band
This rock-driven track looks incredibly cool and hits perfectly when nailed, but the difficulty is a bit high.
The vocal range is wide, so you can’t pull it off unless you’re confident from low to high notes.
If you can belt out powerful high notes, it’s definitely a song you’ll want to add to your repertoire.
