dragonflyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
This is singer-songwriter Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 20th single, released in October 1998.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Tonbo,” in which Nagabuchi himself starred.
It topped the Oricon charts for five consecutive weeks, sold 1.035 million copies, and became a million-seller.
Since the drama itself was a hit, many people likely remember this song through the show.
The melody has a slightly folk-like feel that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
If you perform it with a rugged, masculine vocal style, it will surely sound great!
Riding in a Corolla IIOzawa Kenji
Kenji Ozawa’s classic “Riding in a Corolla II.” It tends to be overshadowed by “Tonight is Boogie Back,” his collaboration with Scha Dara Parr, but in fact, it’s one of his biggest hits.
This song is characterized by its gentle melody.
Maintaining an ennui-tinged atmosphere, the vocal line is naturally rendered in a calm manner.
With a narrow range and mild melodic movement, it’s among the easiest songs to sing from that era.
Stay GoldHi-STANDARD
Hi-STANDARD, a band that enjoyed immense popularity in the punk rock scene of the 1990s.
They’ve produced numerous classics, but the song I especially recommend for men in their 40s who want something easy to sing is Stay Gold.
It falls under hardcore punk, yet features a relatively straightforward vocal line for the genre, with no particularly difficult shouts.
The vocal range is also on the narrower side, so if you’re comfortable with English lyrics, give it a try.
Bye For NowT-BOLAN
T-BOLAN’s classic “Bye For Now.” This work is crafted into a rock ballad that epitomizes T-BOLAN’s hallmark masculine vibe.
For men in their late 40s, it might just hit the sweet spot.
While the singing style is intense, the vocal range isn’t particularly wide.
Plus, there are many shout-heavy sections, so even if your voice tends to get hoarse by the time the after-party rolls around, that roughness can actually become a plus and make it sound great.
Definitely give it a listen.
Don’t avert your eyes.DEEN
It’s DEEN’s fifth single overall, released on June 22, 1994.
It’s a “Being-kei” track from the 1990s—a period that could be called the peak of J-POP—when the karaoke market was heavily emphasized in making hits.
As such, the melody and lyrics are crafted so that even people who aren’t good at singing can hum along easily.
In that sense, I’d say it’s one of the best choices for those who aren’t confident singers to pick at karaoke.
It’s a bright pop tune, so just be careful not to make your delivery too heavy when you sing it.
KanadeSukima Suichi
This was Sukima Switch’s second single, released in March 2004.
It secured many tie-ins, including being used as an insert song in the film “Rough,” and as the CM song for Tokio Marine & Nichido Life Insurance’s “Medical Kit R: Sukima Switch ‘Kanade’ for Tokio Marine & Nichido Life.” It’s one of the Heisei-era J-pop classics.
If you’re a man in your 40s, chances are you’ve heard it at least once.
Musically, it’s a ballad with a very straightforward and beautiful melody, so I think anyone can casually hum along and sing it.
Try to sing with care, treating each word of the lyrics with importance.
bulbTHE YELLOW MONKEY
THE YELLOW MONKEY is a band that enjoyed overwhelming popularity among men in their 40s and late 30s.
It’s no exaggeration to say they represent Japan when it comes to glam rock.
Among their songs, I especially recommend “Kyūkon” (“Bulb”).
It starts quietly and then dramatically ramps up in the chorus, but aside from the many long sustained notes, the vocal line is very simple.
The song doesn’t require a particularly wide vocal range, so give it a try.
