[2026] Japanese karaoke songs that men in their 50s get excited about (91–100)
My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
This was Southern All Stars’ third single, released in March 1979.
Up until this release, Southern were known for a hot, powerful, and comedic image—slightly risqué, even—so dropping a suddenly wistful slow ballad as a single must have surprised many people who were listening to them in real time back then.
I was actually one of those people myself.
It’s a song where Kuwata’s decidedly “manly” vocals shine in every sense, so even though it’s a slow ballad, when you sing it at karaoke, don’t fuss over the small details—immerse yourself fully in the song’s world.
I’m sure you’ll feel great singing it, and your friends listening will feel something too.
And it’s essential that everyone joins in at the start of the chorus!
Mary AnnTHE ALFEE
This is THE ALFEE’s 16th single, released in June 1983.
It’s considered the song that propelled them to stardom.
Thanks to this track, they appeared in the “This Week’s Spotlight” segment of the popular music show The Best Ten, broke into the Oricon Top 10, and made their first appearance on Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
For many people, this may have been their first introduction to THE ALFEE.
Musically, it features bassist Masaru Sakurai on lead vocals.
From the B-melody, the three members’ harmonies weave in, and the chorus builds with a title call that showcases the group’s signature three-part vocals.
When singing it at karaoke, it’s fun to have everyone join in just for that title call to get the crowd going.
Be aware that the key is surprisingly high, so take care when setting the key.
Teenage in GlassHikaru GENJI
Hikaru GENJI, whose roller skating performances were so striking, released this as their second single in 1987.
The lyrics and music were written by Ryo Asuka.
Since then, it has continued to be used as a cheer song for high school baseball and as a walk-up song for professional baseball players.
Its youthful spirit remains captivating even as time passes.
Season in the SunTUBE
TUBE’s smash hit “Season in the Sun,” released in 1989, is a quintessential summer tune.
With its Latin flair, driving beat, and bright, refreshing vibe, it’s a fun track that makes you want to listen by the ocean under a blue sky.
A song that goes perfectly with jeans and a T-shirt, it has become a timeless summer classic.
It’s a recommended track to enjoy during the season with close friends at BBQs or karaoke.
Radio MagicEARTHSHAKER
A super cool band from the Kansai region that led Japan’s hard rock scene in the 1980s and ’90s.
Younger folks might not be familiar, so try asking your boss at work or your uncle.
They released at least 39 albums that we can confirm—proof enough of how incredible their activity was! This track, “Radio Magic,” kicks off with an aggressive guitar riff; plenty of people probably covered it in their youth.
The chorus is outstanding—hard-hitting yet somehow refreshing—so recommend it even to those who’ve never heard it before!
