If you’re a man in your 40s who likes rugged, masculine songs, chances are you’ve listened to Yakozen at least once.

It was the duo that Pistol Takehara, who’s now active as a solo artist, used to belong to.

Their musical style is exactly the same as his current approach: catchy melodies paired with hard-hitting lyrics.

Kamome is one of Yakozen’s classic tracks.

It’s a folk piece that radiates heat, while the melody itself is arranged to be very easy to sing.

Since there aren’t any high notes, focus solely on expressiveness when you sing it.

[Official] The High-Lows “Seishun” [14th Single (2000/5/24)] THE HIGH-LOWS / Seisyun

The Hi-Lows, the band that brought melodic punk to the masses.

Formed primarily by Hiroto Kōmoto and Masatoshi Mashima of The Blue Hearts, their sound is characterized by a more melodious take on punk than the Blue Hearts.

Among their songs, one that’s particularly easy to sing is Seishun (Youth).

Despite its lively vibe—which can be misleading—the song has a relatively narrow vocal range, so it suits a wide variety of voices.

It’s one of the easiest songs to sing within punk, so be sure to check it out.

Stellar Days,” a classic by Motohiro Hata known as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun.” While the anime centers on romance, the lyrics have a somewhat grand impression, yet they still pair well with the show, making the song highly memorable.

It leans strongly into emotional elements, and the verses through the pre-chorus carry a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere.

Because the track showcases many facets within a single song, the more you listen, the more depth you’ll discover.

The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi

Yasushi Nakanishi’s classic, filled with gentle yet heartrending emotion, is a ballad about parting with a lover.

The breakup scene, overlaid with imagery of rain, along with the portrayal of deep affection, possessiveness, and the acceptance of being unable to make the other person happy, leaves a strong impression.

The beautiful arrangement of piano and strings further highlights the crystalline quality of his vocals.

Released in August 1992, it was later used as the theme song for Hitachi’s “Ashita P-KAN Kibun!” and gradually gained support, ultimately becoming a massive hit with total sales of 900,000 copies.

In karaoke, its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow vocal range make it easy to sing calmly.

Why not sing it while carefully unfolding its story-like lyrics, together with your cherished memories?

Southern All Stars – Bon-giri Love Song [Official Music Video]

This is the fourth song released exclusively as a digital single by Southern All Stars, released in July 2023.

It’s one of their signature summer tunes, featuring a slightly bouncy, funky beat that really stands out! For many men in their 40s as of 2023, the phrase “summer means Southern!!” probably rings true.

The vocal melody doesn’t cover a very wide range, and the tune itself is easy to sing along to casually, so even those who don’t often have chances to sing or who feel they’re not good at singing should find it very singable.

The key to making it sound good is to avoid letting the rhythm of your singing become flat.

SaraiKayama Yūzō & Tanimura Shinji

Some of you reading this article may be a bit older.

For you, I recommend Sarai.

It’s a song well known even among younger generations thanks to its association with 24-Hour TV.

The real charm of this piece lies in its deep, mature vocal line.

Although the arrangement feels grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so men with lower voices should be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of their low tones.

Be sure to check it out.

Be kind to othersTHE BLUE HEARTS

THE BLUE HEARTS are a quintessential Japanese punk rock band—spot-on for men in their late 40s.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 40s because it’s easy to sing is Hito ni Yasashiku (“Be Kind to People”).

Popular as the theme song of a drama with the same title, it features a catchy punk rock melody that anyone can sing along to.

Since the song stays in the mid-range, it can easily become monotonous.

If you want to add more expression, don’t hesitate to throw in some shouts and sing it with a bold, masculine edge.
