[2026] Recommended Japanese karaoke songs for men in their 50s (141–150)
MissingKubota Toshinobu
When it comes to Toshinobu Kubota’s signature songs—renowned for his husky vocals and profound emotional expression—this track, included on the album “SHAKE IT PARADISE” released on September 10, 1986, undoubtedly stands out.
A poignant ballad that tenderly portrays the pain of heartbreak and inner turmoil, it showcases Kubota’s delicate voice that moves listeners’ hearts.
Chosen as the ending theme for TBS’s “Uwasa-teki Tatsujin” and TV Asahi’s “World Pro Wrestling,” the song has become a classic covered by numerous artists.
It’s recommended for those who want to sing gently at karaoke or who have experienced heartbreak.
If you sing it with feeling, it will surely elevate the atmosphere of the venue.
LORIOUS DAYSHotei Tomoyasu
Not only as a guitarist but also as a composer and singer-songwriter, Tomoyasu Hotei has had a remarkable career.
While he isn’t the type known for powerful vocals, he has created many classic songs with his catchy musical style.
Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is LORIOUS DAYS.
Despite its loud sound and uptempo feel, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the melody line doesn’t fluctuate much in pitch, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score highly on throughout.
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.
Linda LindaZa Burū Hātsu
The Blue Hearts’ classic “Linda Linda.” It’s an indispensable song when talking about Japanese punk rock.
Its intense vibes often lead to misunderstandings, but in fact the vocal line is surprisingly gentle and the range isn’t very wide.
Since it sits in the low to mid range, anyone can sing it comfortably with the right key adjustment.
However, the low notes in the verse (A-melo) are fairly low, so don’t lower the key too much just because the chorus and the B-melo feel easy to sing.
I want to hug you.Mr.Children
If you’re in your 50s now, you were likely in your 20s when this song was a hit, and many of you probably sang it at karaoke back then.
Mr.Children’s “Dakishimetai” is their second single, released in 1992, and it’s a very straightforward love song.
Although it’s a ballad, it isn’t a sad one; it’s a track overflowing with a gentle, quietly spreading kind of love, and it’s been well-known beyond just the fanbase since its release.
It’s a karaoke song that many women of the same generation want men to sing, and it’s beloved by a wide range of age groups.
Nice to meet you, melancholy.Gō Hiromi
The song “Yoroshiku Aishu,” chosen as the theme for the drama A Little Happiness, became a major hit.
Released in 1974, it has long been cherished as one of Hiromi Go’s signature tracks.
Being apart from your lover—even for a short time—can make your heart ache… I imagine many people have experienced that kind of love.
It’s precisely because you care that there are moments of loneliness.
Even the highest notes are modest, so I think men with lower natural voices can take on the song.
Savor the storytelling as you sing.
Setting Sail SASURAITerao Akira
Singer Akira Terao, who gained immense popularity with his calm vocals, is not only an accomplished actor but has also left behind many classic songs as an artist.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s as an easy song to sing is Shukkō SASURAI (Setting Sail: Wanderer).
It’s one of Terao’s pieces with a particularly mature, understated vibe, composed primarily in a low vocal range throughout.
There are no sudden jumps in pitch and no parts that require belting, making it an exceptionally easy song for men in their 50s to sing.
