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.
Wax MuseumSeikima II
This is the first single by the Japanese HM/HR band Seikima-II, released in April 1986.
The band had a highly distinctive presence from their debut, with performances built around a demonic worldview, and this song propelled them to instant fame alongside that concept and staging.
Demon Kogure, the vocalist of the End of the Century, who sings this track, is an exceptionally skilled singer, and if you delve into the vocal parts, you’ll find great depth.
However, there’s no need for most people to worry about that level of detail when singing it at karaoke.
The melody itself is very easy to sing and pop-friendly, so go ahead and have fun recreating even the spoken lines in the song.
When you sing, keep a firm awareness of the accents on beats 2 and 4; that will keep the performance from sounding flat and help you sing it with a nice groove.
Midnight ShuffleKondō Masahiko
Masahiko Kondo is often associated with his peak activity in the 1970s and 80s, but he actually had a hit in the 90s as well: Midnight Shuffle.
If you’re a man in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
While it features a melody that’s uncommon in typical J-pop, the vocal line is quite easy—there are no parts requiring complex pitch movements, and the range is very compact.
It’s a song that suits any vocal timbre, so it’s worth adding to your repertoire.
An uncool way of getting dumpedŌe Senri
Senri Oe’s 23rd single, released in July 1991.
It also served as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “The Men Who Want to Get Married.” This song is very simple, easy to remember, and has a catchy melody, making it an ideal choice for people who aren’t confident singers to try at karaoke.
The straightforward structure also makes it easier to learn.
Musically, there are no parts that require extremely high or low notes, so it’s a song I can confidently recommend to anyone.
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.

MarshmallowOkuda Tamio
Okuda Tamio is an artist who still enjoys strong support from many listeners today for his laid-back vibe and unique musicality.
Many men in their 40s may have admired him.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Mashimaro.
As the title suggests, it features a relaxed atmosphere, with a simple vocal line throughout.
Since there are no high notes or shouts, it’s perfect for those who aren’t keen on intense singing—give it a try.
one thing or anotherFujii Takashi
Takashi Fujii’s classic song “Nandaka Nanda.” While he works as a comedian, he has also left behind several standout tracks as an artist, and this one is among his most popular.
Although it’s a comic song, it’s put together as a fairly authentic electropop track, with elements that foreshadow the EDM that later became a global phenomenon.
The key is a bit high, but the overall vocal range isn’t wide, so as long as you pay attention to pitch and the opening notes, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
