Summer NudeMagokoro Burazāzu

Magokoro Brothers, a rock band acclaimed for their original musicality.

For men in their 40s, they’re probably a band packed with nostalgic memories.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Summer Nude.

The melody has a slight city-pop vibe, but the performance itself features plenty of funk elements.

That said, there aren’t tricky grooves, nor do you encounter things like vocal fakes or hiccups, so the overall difficulty is on the easier side.

Released in July 2006 as Aqua Timez’s debut single.

Although it was the band’s first major-label single, it was selected as the theme song for the animated film “Brave Story,” and later in 2011 it was also used as the special commercial song for Sapporo Beer’s “New Year Sports Special: Hakone Ekiden,” specifically for the “Everyone’s Hakone Ekiden Story” campaign.

It’s a beautiful, slow-tempo track with striking string arrangements throughout.

The vocal melody is very straightforward and gentle, making it easy for anyone to hum along.

The rhythmic phrasing of the melody in the A section is a bit tricky, so if possible, please practice that part in advance before singing.

Wandervogelkururi

Quruli is a rock band that continues to attract fans with ennui-tinged melodies and profound messages.

They may not be a band that became explosively popular, but they undeniably helped shape the style of contemporary Japanese rock.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 40s as an easy piece to sing is “Wandervogel.” With its near-futuristic arrangement layered with a monotonous vocal line, it’s extremely easy to sing.

It’s also nice that there are no high notes at all.

The rattlesnake is comingTonneruzu

Not only did they score big with variety shows, but the comedy duo Tunnels also enjoyed hits with their songs.

Among the many hit numbers they produced, the one I especially recommend as an easy-to-sing track is Garagara Hebi ga Yattekuru.

It falls under what you’d call a comic song and is mainly aimed at elementary and middle school students, but the vocal line is surprisingly funky and cool.

The overall vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s suitable for men of almost any voice type.

Flipper’s Guitar was a band that gained popularity for its inventive sound, which distilled neo-acoustic and Shibuya-kei into indie pop.

Many of you may know them as the group that produced two renowned musicians: Cornelius and Kenji Ozawa.

Their song “Love and Machine Gun” is one of their signature tracks.

While it has a jazz flavor, the vocals aren’t particularly jazzy.

Rather, the vocal line is subdued and ennui-laden with little dynamic variation, making it far easier to sing than a lot of typical J-pop.

Crazy BabyFISHMANS

Fishmans is a band that holds the highest rating for a Japanese group on Rate Your Music, a globally known music review site.

Most hardcore music enthusiasts are probably familiar with them.

Among their works, Ikareta Baby is especially popular, featuring a reggae-driven, languid vocal line.

While you do need to feel the groove, the actual vocal range is very narrow, so for someone with a decent sense of rhythm, it can be considered a very easy song.

AdventurersTHE ALFEE

THE ALFEE’s hidden gem “Adventurers.” If you’re not a fan, you may not be familiar with it, but this track enjoys strong popularity in certain circles because it’s a rare piece with a jazz flavor among THE ALFEE’s songs.

The vocal range is about average, and the structure features a sudden surge in voltage at the chorus.

The chorus shifts to a rock feel with a simple, repetitive structure, while the A and B sections sit comfortably in an easy-to-sing low-to-mid register.
