GatchamanShimon Masato

Endless JourneyMr.Children
Life isn’t all good, but Mr.
Children’s 1998 song “Owarinaki Tabi” (“Endless Journey”), which was also used as the theme for the drama ‘Naguru Onna,’ makes you want to keep traveling nonetheless.
It conveys a powerful message about accepting everything that has happened along the way, carrying your inner conflicts, and even turning your moments of doubt into strength.
It’s a song filled with the kind of appeal that makes you reflect on your work, love life, and way of living.
If you go to karaoke with someone who’s carrying worries or heavy thoughts, why not try singing it together at least once?
I’m smitten with you.Yellow Magic Orchestra
Released by YMO in 1983, this song was truly cutting-edge technopop for its time.
The fusion of bubbly pop vocals and electronic sounds creates a unique charm that lifts your spirits.
It was also used in a Kanebo cosmetics commercial and is known for popularizing the phrase “mune-kyun” (heart-throbbing).
With its rhythmic, catchy melody, it’s guaranteed to be a hit at karaoke.
Pick it for an office party or a night out with friends, and it’s sure to become a fun, sing-along favorite for everyone.
Just by you being herekome kome CLUB
Kome Kome Club is a nine-member band that rose to popularity with their glamorous live performances and now continues at its own pace while releasing new music.
Their 13th single “Kimi ga Iru Dake de,” released as a double A-side with “Aishiteru,” was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Sugao no Mama de.” Despite its catchy and refreshing melody, the overall key is low, making it relatively easy for men in their 50s to sing.
As a song that achieved double million sales and is widely known across generations, it’s a pop tune well worth adding to your karaoke repertoire.
MasqueradeShonentai
When people in their 50s think of a Johnny’s idol group, many would instantly name Shonentai.
Dominating the scene in the 1980s, the three members now each thrive in TV dramas, films, and stage productions.
Their signature song, of course, is their debut track Kamen Butokai (Masked Ball), which topped the Oricon charts.
Composed by the Shōwa-era master Kyōhei Tsutsumi, its lyrics were written by Tetsuya Chiaki—an assignment realized at the request of Kazukiyo Nishikiori, a big fan of Eikichi Yazawa, for whom Chiaki penned many songs.
Frequently covered by their Johnny’s juniors, the song has reached younger generations and can rightly be called a classic of Shōwa-era pop.
It’s a staple hit at karaoke gatherings of people in their 50s, and performing it in front of younger colleagues might just get the crowd going!
