[Even If You’re Tone-Deaf, It’s Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 40s (11–20)
countrysideTamaki Kōji
Koji Tamaki’s classic song “Den-en” (Countryside).
He still appears frequently in the media and often performs this piece.
Among Tamaki’s songs, this one is notably easy to sing.
The key reason is its narrow vocal range: each section stays within a consistent range, so it’s hardly ever difficult.
If you find the low notes hard to sing, raise the key.
Because the range is narrow, transposing it up won’t cause problems.
BambinaHotei Tomoyasu
If you’re a man in your 40s who likes rock, you’ve almost certainly listened to Tomoyasu Hotei’s music.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is Bambina.
It’s a track with a lively, bustling riff that screams rock ’n’ roll, and it keeps the energy up from start to finish.
Despite its upbeat feel, the vocal line sits mainly in the low to mid range, making it very easy to sing.
Definitely give it a try.
Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu
The Checkers, with Fumiya Fujii on vocals, were hugely popular as an idol-style band in the 1980s.
I love the intro to this song, and it modulates at the end so the pitch goes up! It’s just too cool.
The same melodic line repeats several times, and the overall range sits comfortably for male voices, so it seems perfect for singing along and having fun.
By the way, did you know the very last phrase after the key change in the final chorus goes even higher? When you sing it at karaoke, focus on that part and nail the pitch—you’ll land it in style! In general, if you keep your energy up while singing, your vocal cords will resonate better and the high notes will come out more easily, so go for it with confidence!
Winter is starting.Makihara Noriyuki
Known as Makki, Noriyuki Makihara is an indispensable figure when talking about the 1990s music scene and a genius singer-songwriter whose name is etched in Japanese music history, having left behind many classic songs.
His naturally pure, unadorned, and expansive voice that reaches straight to the listener’s heart, melodies that aren’t swayed by trends, and lyrics that brilliantly capture vivid scenes and emotional shifts through simple word choices—his talent is universally recognized.
Among his many masterpieces, “Fuyu ga Hajimaru yo,” released in 1991, is relatively easy to sing, with Makihara’s signature high notes kept somewhat modest, making it a great recommendation for those who struggle with high registers.
Keep the shuffle rhythm in mind and be careful not to go off pitch!
Let’s be happyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
Artists from around this generation often sing in their chest voice rather than relying on falsetto, so their vocal ranges aren’t that high.
I bet some of you have sung this song at ceremonies quite a bit.
The piano and strings in the background sound beautiful, and it seems like it would feel great to sing.
The tempo isn’t fast, so you can sing calmly and with care.
The verse has that distinct Nagabuchi style, so if you focus on it too much you might end up sounding like an impression of him (lol).
I feel like you shouldn’t worry too much about the Nagabuchi flavor—sing it in your own voice.
In the chorus, if you sing boldly, like “I’m a great singer!” your voice will come out solidly and you’ll enjoy singing it.
In the end, it’d be awesome if you could get everyone involved and turn it into a big sing-along!
GLORIAZIGGY
ZIGGY’s biggest hit number, “GLORIA.” Because it’s a bright song that’s quintessentially ZIGGY, it might seem like there are many parts where you have to belt.
Surprisingly, though, it doesn’t require that much vocal power, and the range isn’t particularly wide.
The chorus has a gently rising melodic line, which makes it easier to keep pitch.
However, due to the upward-tilting phrasing, you’ll need a certain level of stamina—as the pitch gets higher, you may start to feel strain, like a tightening at the temples.
Don’t get carried away by the song’s brightness and set the key too high.

Just by you being herekome kome CLUB
Kome Kome Club’s 13th single, led by Tatsuya Ishii, is “Kimi ga Iru Dake de” (“Just Knowing You’re There”).
It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama ‘Sugao no Mama de,’ starring Narumi Yasuda and Akina Nakamori, and became a massive hit, helped by the boom in trendy dramas.
For many people, this is the song that comes to mind when they think of Kome Kome Club.
Ishii’s gentle vocals and the lyrics—about becoming stronger and realizing what truly matters just by having you there—really hit home.
It’s easy to sing, so I’d love to see men in their 40s perform it, reminiscing about past romances.
