[Even If You’re Tone-Deaf, It’s Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 40s (171–180)
KISS MEHimuro Kyosuke
For men in their 40s, wouldn’t Kyosuke Himuro be the quintessential idol-like figure? Many men in that age group probably admired his stylish look and that unique vocal blend of passion and cool detachment.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is KISS ME—an undisputed classic.
Surprisingly, it’s quite easy to sing, since the vocal range is narrow and there aren’t many long sustained notes.
It’s a curious track that sounds hard-edged even if you don’t sing it in a hard style.
Give it a try.
MARIONETTEBOØWY
BOØWY is the rock band led by Kyosuke Himuro that gained popularity in the 1980s as pioneers of the visual-kei movement.
Their song “MARIONETTE,” released on July 22, 1987, became the band’s first number-one hit and was a massive success.
In recent years, many people may have discovered the track through Nagata from the comedy duo Chocolate Planet, who often imitates it.
The incredibly cool sound sticks in your head and you can’t help but play it on repeat! Since it doesn’t have many high notes, even men in their 40s who aren’t confident singers can pull it off in a stylish way!
To be happyFLYING KIDS
FLYING KIDS is a funk band that shocked the Japanese music scene.
They helped popularize funk in Japan, where it was still unfamiliar, and gained popularity with their original and sophisticated sound.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Shiawase de Aru You ni (To Be Happy).
While the track carries elements of funk and R&B, it doesn’t feature advanced vocal techniques like scat or hiccups, so the overall difficulty is relatively low.
Try singing it with a low voice like the original.
Innocent WorldMr.Children
Released in 1994 as Mr.
Children’s fifth single, this classic was, needless to say, a massive hit, and what stands out is that it still doesn’t feel dated today.
Its brisk sound and catchy melody make it popular across generations.
It recalls a time when we were chasing our dreams, gives a jolt to days when we’re about to be swallowed by the busyness of daily life, and delivers a message to keep moving toward the light—something that resonates with everyone.
Don’t worry about how well you sing; just sing it as your true self!
Sync Of SummerYamashita Tatsuro
This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 53rd single, released in July 2023.
It was reportedly written specifically as a song for Kirin’s “Gogo no Kocha” (Afternoon Tea) commercial.
When you think of summer, you think of Tatsuro Yamashita!! That image, combined with the song’s title, makes this a summer anthem overflowing with his signature style that truly evokes the season.
The melody crafted with that trademark Yamashita touch doesn’t span a particularly wide vocal range, so it should be very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.
Throughout the song, it feels best not to overemote—sing it a bit bluntly, with a touch of nonchalance.

Embracing SummerTUBE
With a sound that evokes clear blue skies and a shining sun, this is a quintessential summer song from TUBE.
It expresses a love so intense it keeps you up at night, conveyed through passionate lyrics and melody.
The protagonist’s once-in-a-lifetime feelings are sure to awaken bittersweet memories of love that many have experienced.
Released in May 1994, it was a massive hit, reaching No.
1 on the Oricon charts and selling 940,000 copies.
It was also featured in a Toyota Corolla Ceres commercial and has become a karaoke staple beloved by many.
It’s the perfect track for reminiscing with close friends or colleagues as you look back together on life’s milestones.
CIRCUSHotei Tomoyasu
Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “CIRCUS.” Released as his 13th single, this track reimagines underground-style electronic music with a disco flair and became a nationwide hit.
Despite its eerie musical character, the vocal line is strikingly simple.
There are no high notes or sustained long tones, making it easy for anyone to sing.
The rhythm is mostly on the downbeat, so it’s very singable.
