Even if you’re tone-deaf, it’s okay! Easy karaoke songs for men in their 40s

POISONSorimachi Takashi

Maverick Teacher GTO Theme Song – POISON (Takashi Sorimachi)

This is Takashi Sorimachi’s fourth single, released in July 1998.

Since it was the theme song for the hit drama GTO, in which he starred, many people who don’t usually listen to music have likely heard it through the show.

The song itself has a very simple melody and is straightforward in a good way, so even those who aren’t confident singers shouldn’t have much trouble performing it at karaoke.

Try to keep your voice from getting too thin and aim to project a certain “masculine” quality as you sing—enjoy it!

BEGIN / Longing for you

BEGIN’s classic song “Koishikute.” It’s packed with the essence of the blues, with a pervasive sense of melancholy throughout.

The key reason it’s easy to sing is, above all, the tempo.

Although it’s very slow, it doesn’t rely heavily on long sustained notes, so even those who struggle with breath control can sing it without issue.

Also, because it’s rooted in the blues, mistakes can often be turned into stylistic variations, which makes it an easy song to perform in that sense as well.

Run through the hit chartsSuga Shikao

Suga Shikao / Dash Through the Hit Chart

The artist Shikao Suga, known for his catchy musical style, has gained widespread popularity.

He has provided songs for many artists and has also scored numerous hits as a singer-songwriter himself.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “Hit Chart o Kakenukero” (“Dash Through the Hit Charts”).

It’s a track that shines with a laid-back yet emotional vibe, and overall stays within the mid to mid-high vocal range.

The smoothly rising melody in the chorus makes it easy to match pitch even for those who struggle with singing, so give it a try.
