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

Monochrome RainbowHamada Shogo

Shogo Hamada is an artist who enjoys overwhelming popularity among men in their 50s and 60s.

It may not be the generation for men in their 40s, but some of you might have listened to him under the influence of siblings or seniors.

In that case, I recommend Monochrome no Niji (Monochrome Rainbow).

While many people may associate Shogo Hamada with ballads, this piece is crafted as an upbeat rock track.

It doesn’t exactly have a narrow vocal range, but since it uses chord progressions commonly found in J-pop, I think it’s easy for anyone to sing.

Hi-STANDARD is a band that greatly contributed to the punk rock boom in Japan.

Many people in their early forties probably recall their youth when they hear the band’s songs.

Among Hi-STANDARD’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is The Sound Of Secret Mind.

Aside from the fact that the lyrics are in English, it’s an easy song to sing without sudden jumps in pitch.

Since it’s punk, you do need power, but conversely, a bit of roughness isn’t a problem, making it a perfect choice for those who aren’t confident in clean, polished vocals.

Endless Road19

A song I’d recommend to men in their early 40s is Hatenonai Michi.

It’s a classic by the folk duo 19, who were hugely active in the 2000s.

Since it was a nationwide hit, many of you may remember it.

While the track is notable for its cutting-style guitar, the vocal line itself is crafted as catchy J-pop.

The chorus does feature falsetto, but the range is easily reachable in chest voice as well, so it’s not difficult as long as you choose an appropriate key.

Give it a try.

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.

Another SaturdayHamada Shogo

Another Saturday (We are still on the road.)
Another SaturdayHamada Shogo

It was released as a single on May 22, 1985, as the B-side to “LONELY – Ai to Iu Yakusokugoto,” and was later included on an album.

Considering the title and the lyrics, it’s a very heartrending song.

The tempo is relaxed, so you can sing it carefully, giving meaning to each phrase.

There are some higher notes, but as long as you use your breath properly rather than forcing it, you’ll be fine! Basically, it’s good to approach the high parts with a humming feel.

One thing to watch out for is not to strain your throat.

Engage your vocal cords, not your throat.

At first, hum gently at a volume only you can hear.

Once you get used to it, gradually focus on resonating in your head and then transition that into your singing voice.

You’ll be able to sing while staying relaxed!

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s third single, released in March 2001.

It was used as an insert song in the drama “Tentaikansoku” (Stargazing).

While there are many key points to master if you really delve into the singing, the melody itself is crafted to be easy and fun to hum along to.

So even people who don’t sing often can casually pick it at karaoke and enjoy it.

For men in their 40s, I bet quite a few of you covered this song in a band back when you were in your teens or twenties.

Go back to those younger days and enjoy belting it out to your heart’s content.

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.
