Give it some guts!!Urufuruzu
Ulfuls’ classic “Guts Da Ze!!.” For men in their 40s, it’s probably a spot-on nostalgic tune.
While its funk-influenced melody and rhythm may feel unfamiliar to many Japanese listeners, it still has plenty of J-pop flavor and is easy to sing.
Since the song features quite a bit of shouting, it’s better suited to someone whose voice is a little rough—say, a guy at a second party—than to someone with a pristine tone.
Keep the groove in mind and give it a try.
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.
Time, stop.Yazawa Eikichi
It’s Eikichi Yazawa’s fifth single, released in March 1978.
It was chosen for a Shiseido commercial that year and became a big hit.
The song is crafted as a medium-to-slow tempo number that brings out Yazawa’s cool, rugged vocal style, and perhaps only men in their 40s and older can truly recreate that “ruggedness” when singing it at karaoke.
The vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, and there aren’t any notably difficult rhythmic parts, so by all means try it at karaoke and show off the charm of a cool, rugged singing voice.
ff (fortissimo)HOUND DOG
The 10th single by the Japanese rock band HOUND DOG, released in August 1985.
It was used as a commercial song for Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodles.
It’s a medium-tempo rock number with a strongly heroic atmosphere throughout! The vocal melody is very simple, and the range used isn’t very wide, so even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy singing it casually.
Feel the beat of the backing track firmly, and, just as the title suggests, sing out with power and enjoy it.
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.
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.
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.
