[2026] Japanese Karaoke Songs That Get Men in Their 50s Excited (151–160)
Before anything else, from atop the roadIsseifubi Sepia
This song is memorable for its philosophical lyrics that liken the transience and beauty of life to flowers.
Released in June 1984 as the debut single of Ikkoku Seppa (Ichiran Seppia) [Note: “Issē Fūbi Sepia”], it brought a fresh breeze to the music scene of the time.
Known as the group’s biggest hit, it was also performed during their reunion appearance on Fuji TV’s HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP.
For those in their 50s, it’s a track filled with memories of their youth.
If you sing it at karaoke, try belting it out with the spirited shout of “Soiya!” and an upbeat outlook on life.
It’s also the perfect song to wrap up a night out with friends.
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.
BambinaHotei Tomoyasu
Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “Bambina.” Thanks to its performance on the popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, the song has recently gained support from a fairly young audience as well.
While it’s an up-tempo track with a rock ’n’ roll feel, the vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s easy for singers of any voice type to handle.
If there’s one potential challenge, it would be the long sustained note at the end of the chorus.
It features the highest phrase in the song, but even then it doesn’t require a mixed voice.
As long as you focus on staying in tune, it’s a song with solid potential for scoring high marks.
To the most important personTonneruzu
The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.
Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.
Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.
This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Easy Come, Easy Go!B’z
B’z is a solitary rock duo with a one-of-a-kind presence in the J-pop scene, continuing to perform energetically to this day.
Their sixth single, “Easy Come, Easy Go!,” is a major hit beloved by fans as one of their classic early tracks.
Its lyrics, which seem to soothe a wounded heart, and its gentle melody may sound different now to listeners in their 50s than they did back then.
It’s a positive rock tune with a melodic ensemble that lingers in your ears.
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.

Midsummer FruitSazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars have been active on the front lines for years and are loved by a wide range of generations.
If you’re in your 50s, there are probably many of you who would say, “I’ve been a fan forever!” Their song Manatsu no Kajitsu (Mid-Summer Fruit) was released as a single in 1990 and was also the theme song for the film Inamura Jane, directed by Keisuke Kuwata.
It’s a quintessential bittersweet love song and a karaoke favorite that’s especially popular with women.
This kind of heart-tugging love song draws listeners in, and many can’t help but hum along.
