[Even If You're Tone-Deaf, It's Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 40s (71–80)

Pornograffitti’s classic hit “Saudade.” For men in their early 40s, it’s probably a spot-on anthem.

With its memorable Latin-flavored melody, the song exudes a passionate and cool vibe throughout.

The rhythm can be a bit tricky, but since there’s no vibrato used, the overall vocal difficulty is relatively easy.

If you want it to sound polished, avoid a mushy delivery and aim for clear, well-defined articulation.

Wine Red Heartanzenchitai

Wine Red no Kokoro, a signature song that could be called Anzen Chitai’s big breakthrough.

Lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Koji Tamaki—looking back, that’s quite a luxurious lineup.

While the chorus has some higher notes, it’s generally written in a range that’s comfortable for male singers.

The song has a mature vibe, so you’ll want to sing it coolly and smoothly.

When performing, switching between spoken-like delivery and full-on singing will make it more captivating.

And definitely belt the chorus! The vowels “i” and the m-row sounds can be tricky.

If you spread the “i” too wide horizontally, you’ll tense your throat and won’t be able to ascend in chest voice.

Recall the feeling of humming and let the sound resonate lightly in the head.

The m-row sounds are nasal; they’re easier to produce if you project the voice a bit more firmly.

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!

Words of FarewellKaientai

Farewell Words — Kaientai — Solo acoustic (singer-songwriter) performance
Words of FarewellKaientai

This was Kaientai’s 16th single, released in November 1979.

It might be easier to say it was the theme song for the first season of the hugely popular school drama “Mr.

Kinpachi in Class 3B,” starring Tetsuya Takeda of Kaientai (haha).

People in their 40s as of 2019 may have just missed the drama when it originally aired, but since the song became a Showa-era graduation standard, many of you likely sang it at your own ceremonies.

It’s unclear whether it was intentionally written with graduation ceremonies in mind, but it has a very straightforward melody, rhythm, and phrasing that make it extremely easy to sing as a choral piece—so even those who struggle with modern songs that have complex structures and melodies should be able to sing it comfortably.

In the night sky after the rainRC sakuseshon

Sung by Kiyoshiro Imawano, often hailed as Japan’s King of Rock, this track is one of RC Succession’s signature songs, bursting with a sense of speed.

It’s a perfect classic for shaking off everyday hassles and bad moods, lifting your spirits no matter what.

Instead of stiffening up and trying to sing it perfectly, it’s a song that suits belting it out with full-on energy, so even those who aren’t confident singers may find it easy to try.

If you shout it out, you’ll feel totally refreshed and exhilarated.

Endless road19

The band 19 gained popularity in the 2000s for their catchy messaging and musical style.

For those in their early 40s, they’re probably a nostalgic group that brings back memories of youth.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Hatenonai Michi (Endless Road).

It leans a bit toward the lower register, but by your 40s, this level of low pitch should be comfortable to sing.

Also, the song doesn’t require high notes, so even those who aren’t good with falsetto should have no trouble.

Give it a try.

PearlTHE YELLOW MONKEY

For many men in their 40s, THE YELLOW MONKEY is something to admire, isn’t it? The band—known for leaving behind numerous classic songs—has one track in particular that I especially recommend to men in their 40s for its singability: Pearl.

It’s a piece where Yemon’s straightforward sensibility shines throughout, and it’s woven together with a youthful, boyish melody from start to finish.

The vocal range is narrow and sits mostly in the mid-to-low register, so even at a second-party karaoke where your voice might not project well, you should be able to sing it without any issues.
