[For People in Their 50s] Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers! A Selection of Easy-to-Sing Nostalgic Hit Songs (21–30)
NO.NEW YORKBOØWY
A signature rock number from the 1982 album “MORAL,” later re-recorded as the B-side to the single “BAD FEELING.” Its driving rhythm and Kyosuke Himuro’s shouts are the main attractions, making it a staple that recreates the heat of youth.
The overall vocal range is D#3–A4, which should be comfortable for many male singers.
Since it’s a band-oriented track, locking into the rhythm makes it fun to sing.
As long as you don’t lag behind the tempo, a slightly rough delivery will still land stylishly.
There are call-and-response shout sections mid-song, so getting the crowd involved is part of the fun!
excuseSha ran Q
One of Sharam Q’s biggest hit singles and a signature song.
Its lyrics portray the miscommunication and lingering feelings in romance with both humor and poignancy, resonating strongly with young people at the time.
Singing Sharam Q at karaoke inevitably gets everyone hyped! Tsunku’s distinctive slightly nasal tone really sets the mood.
If you’re not used to a nasal delivery, it can throw off your pitch, so I recommend not overthinking it and projecting your voice firmly.
Especially in the chorus, singing out strongly adds contrast and makes the song sound cooler overall!
OH MY LITTLE GIRLOzaki Yutaka
A love ballad that was rediscovered as the theme song for Fuji TV’s 1994 Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Kono Yo no Hate,” and has continued to be loved across generations.
At karaoke, it’s a classic that gets the room gently buzzing when men in their 50s sing it while reminiscing about their youth.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to A4, which should be relatively comfortable for male singers.
If you sing the verses (A and B sections) quietly, almost like speaking, you can instantly set the mood.
The big highlight is the very first chorus.
Take a good breath beforehand and hit it right on cue—you should find it feels great to sing.
Doing an impression can be fun, but by all means try belting it out in your own voice!
Young manSaijō Hideki
“Y.M.C.A.” has become a staple cheer song at school events and sports competitions.
The arm-swinging choreography went viral—these days, it feels like there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know it! With an intro that instantly lifts your spirits, doesn’t it just make you smile? That smiling expression is really important: when your facial muscles naturally lift, your voice comes out more easily, making it much easier to sing! Plus, doing the choreography helps your body relax, which also makes projecting your voice easier.
Above all, the best thing is to just have fun singing it!
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
An upbeat disco-style track you can belt out on vibe and momentum.
The range runs from A3 to C#5, with a higher section at the end, but once you lock into the rhythm, it feels great to sing.
It’s also perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke! When you sing it, it’s best to articulate the first beat clearly.
If you project your voice solidly at the start, the rest will come out smoothly and it should feel comfortable to sing.
If you’ve got bandwidth while singing, try learning a few light dance moves—falling into the groove makes it even easier to keep the rhythm and feel even better performing it!
In conclusion
It’s best to choose songs based on the vibe of the moment and how you’re feeling.
There are actually plenty of easy-to-sing karaoke songs, ranging from timeless classics everyone knows to the latest hits.
If you lock in some crowd-pleasers and everyone has a great time together, that’s the best! At Rug Music, we also introduce other easy-to-sing tracks that are all about getting the energy up, so be sure to check out our other articles too!
