Released in 1995, “Omoide ga Ippai” is a classic that has been covered by many artists.
Since it’s a song everyone knows, it’s a good choice to sing at karaoke with a wide range of age groups.
It’s also easy to sing with few key changes and dynamic shifts, making it a song you’ll want to put in early.
It’s not uncommon to sing it at school, and it’s practically become a national favorite.

Suddenly, SinbadSazan Ōrusutāzu
When the chorus hits, you can’t help but want to shout at the top of your lungs! Released in 1978 as Southern All Stars’ debut single, it became a hit that sold over 800,000 copies.
The typically zany lyrics, characteristic of Southern All Stars, were harshly criticized by experts at the time for being “incomprehensible” and “disregarding the beauty of the Japanese language.” However, thanks to Keisuke Kuwata stubbornly standing by the lyrics, the song has now become a karaoke staple that always hypes up the crowd.
Kuwata’s foresight is truly impressive!
I can’t even sing the beginningOzaki Yutaka
With overwhelming charisma, singer-songwriter Yutaka Ozaki captured the hearts of young people across the nation.
His third single, “I Can’t Even Sing the Beginning,” was released as a re-cut from his first album, “Seventeen’s Map,” which is known as a classic.
If you’re in your 50s and likely listened to Ozaki in your youth, you might just feel like singing it at karaoke.
Go ahead—pour your emotions into it and give it your all!
That’s important.Daiji MAN Burazāzu Bando
Named simply because “it has a nice ring to it,” this is the third single by the rock band Daiji MAN Brothers Band, who are currently active under a different moniker led by vocalist Toshiyuki Tachikawa.
The song was first used as the ending theme for the sports news program “Sports Frontier,” and later became the theme song for the variety show “Hokomichan no Yamada Katsutenai TV,” which propelled it to major hit status.
Its catchy melody and heartfelt message will make many men in their 50s—the generation it speaks to—want to sing along.
With a simple, repetition-heavy melody, it’s also a great pick for those not very accustomed to karaoke.
Romantic Flightkome kome CLUB
This is the 10th single by Kome Kome Club, a band that took the era by storm with their lavish, big-band sound and flashy live performances.
It became a single after being featured as a commercial image song, and it’s well known as one of Kome Kome Club’s signature tracks.
Many artists still cover it today, so it’s recognized across generations and is a great pick for karaoke, especially for those in their 50s.
The overall key is low, making it easy to tackle, and it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going.
Burn, you fine womanSera Masanori & Tsuisto
It was the fifth single by Masanori Sera & Twist, released in 1979.
For those in their 50s as of 2020, many of you were probably blown away at the time by Sera’s dynamic performances, singing while working the microphone stand.
I think I was in about fifth grade back then, and during school cleaning time I used to play around by imitating Sera with a broom (lol).
Surprisingly, there aren’t many singers today who deliver such a “fiery song,” so this summer, it might be fun to sing this track while reminiscing about your elementary and junior high school days!
HELLOFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama is a singer-songwriter who is active in a variety of fields—including musician, actor, radio personality, and photographer.
His 10th single, “HELLO,” written as the theme song for the TV drama “The Best Unrequited Love,” is known as one of his signature tracks.
Its melody, lively yet set in a generally low key throughout, makes it approachable even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
With its driving ensemble that amps up the karaoke atmosphere, it’s a refreshing million-selling hit recommended for men in their 50s.
