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.

Goodbye, Humanitytama

“Sayonara Jinrui” is the debut single by the folk-rock band Tama, which emerged from the TBS music program “Heisei Meibutsu TV: Yuji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Tengoku,” a launching pad for young bands around 1990.

With a uniquely toned vocal and unforgettable lyrics after just one listen, the song became a massive hit, debuting at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and selling over 500,000 copies.

Because it has few high notes and minimal pitch variation throughout, it’s a recommended number even for men in their 40s who aren’t confident at karaoke.

A Little Love SongMONGOL800

It’s one of MONGOL800’s signature songs, but it has never been released as a single and is included on the band’s second indie album, “MESSAGE.” By the way, despite being an indie release, this album sold over 2.8 million copies! It’s an up-tempo, super catchy rock number, and you don’t need any complicated explanations to enjoy singing it.

Everyone, just belt it out however you like and have fun!

If only I had held you tighterWANDS

This was WANDS’s third single overall, released in July 1992.

It was used as the theme song for a Mitsui Life Insurance commercial featuring Atsuko Asano.

A massive hit that became WANDS’s first million-seller (1.663 million copies sold), many of you have likely heard it before.

In the 1990s, when this song was released, singability at karaoke was a key factor for a song to become a hit.

True to that trend, this track is crafted to be very easy to sing—especially the chorus melody—and highly memorable.

I confidently recommend it for men in their 40s who don’t usually sing much.

Enjoy singing it with power throughout!

Wandering Love SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

People in their early 40s belong to a generation for whom laid-back, Unicorn-style rock was trendy, while those in their late 40s grew up exposed to more masculine rock as well.

Many of you may even have listened to Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s songs.

With that in mind, I recommend “Junrenka.” This piece incorporates some folk elements and is arranged primarily in the lower-mid to mid vocal range throughout.

Although a slightly higher phrase appears toward the end of the chorus, it still sits around the mid-high range, so you should hardly encounter any issues from a vocal production standpoint.

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

This is Masaki Suda’s third single, released in February 2018.

It was used as the theme song for the NTV drama series “Kiss that Kills.” The vocal melody doesn’t require a particularly wide range, and the tune itself flows very naturally.

It’s also up-tempo and easy to get into, so I think it’s a song many men can casually pick for karaoke and enjoy.

In the B-melody and elsewhere, the spacing between vocal phrases becomes a key point for delivering a good performance, so when you sing it, pay close attention to the beat of the backing track and make sure you can feel it firmly as you sing.

Ulfuls – Kawaii Hito (Cute Person)

Ulfuls’ classic song “Kawaii Hito.” While Ulfuls often deliver powerful tracks, this one exudes an especially gentle atmosphere among their works.

It’s classified as alternative rock or pop rock, yet it carries a pervasive country and blues vibe throughout, and the vocal line matches that feel with relatively little dynamic fluctuation.

The vocal range is narrow as well, so you should be able to sing it comfortably even at a third-round karaoke session.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
