[Even If You're Tone-Deaf, It's Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 40s (41–50)

Beard and Boobsyunikōn

Unicorn is a band that gained popularity for its genre-defying, free-spirited musical style.

I think many men in their 40s admired them.

Among Unicorn’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Hige to Boin.

It’s an orthodox rock track characterized by a rough, gritty vocal line.

The range is somewhat wide, but there’s no falsetto, and it’s fine to sing with a raw, aggressive delivery, so the overall difficulty is relatively low.

It’s recommended for those who want to sing in a masculine style with some shouts for impact.

astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s third single, released in March 2001.

It was used as an insert song in the drama “Tentaikansoku” (Stargazing).

While there are many key points to master if you really delve into the singing, the melody itself is crafted to be easy and fun to hum along to.

So even people who don’t sing often can casually pick it at karaoke and enjoy it.

For men in their 40s, I bet quite a few of you covered this song in a band back when you were in your teens or twenties.

Go back to those younger days and enjoy belting it out to your heart’s content.

Love will winKAN

This was KAN’s 8th single, released in September 1990.

It was originally used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Quiz Omoshiro TV,” but after being featured as an insert song on Fuji TV’s “Yamachan’s Yamada Katsutenai TV,” it gained popularity and became a record-breaking long seller.

If you’re in your 40s, you probably experienced this hit in real time.

The melody is very familiar and easy to remember, so I imagine many people recall it vividly along with their memories from that time.

The tune is approachable, with no particularly difficult high or low notes, and the rhythmic pattern is simple, making it a great choice for those who aren’t confident singers to pick for karaoke.

There aren’t any especially tricky parts—so just sing it with energy and get the crowd going!

SaraiKayama Yūzō & Tanimura Shinji

Some of you reading this article may be a bit older.

For you, I recommend Sarai.

It’s a song well known even among younger generations thanks to its association with 24-Hour TV.

The real charm of this piece lies in its deep, mature vocal line.

Although the arrangement feels grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so men with lower voices should be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of their low tones.

Be sure to check it out.

Released in June 1994, this was Sharam Q’s sixth single.

Along with the subsequent hit “Zuruina Onna,” its sales grew and it became Sharam Q’s first million-selling hit.

Now, this song is an ideal choice for people who aren’t confident singers when picking a karaoke repertoire! The melody and rhythm are simple, there aren’t many high notes, and the slow tempo makes it easy to sing; plus, there are hardly any long sustained notes that require you to focus on keeping pitch.

If you’re in your 40s, you probably experienced the glittering Japan of the era when this song was a hit in real time, so I think you’ll enjoy singing it while recalling that “atmosphere of the times.”

JAMTHE YELLOW MONKEY

This is the ninth single by THE YELLOW MONKEY, a four-piece rock band that made headlines with their 2016 comeback and captivates fans with a sexy, glam rock-inspired sound.

Released as a double A-side single with Tactics, a re-cut from their fifth album FOUR SEASONS, it was also used as the ending theme for the music program Pop Jam.

With its relaxed shuffle beat, the rhythm is easy to lock into, and the melody doesn’t have large jumps, making it a comfortable pick for karaoke.

It’s a song whose thought-provoking lyrics you’ll want to savor as you sing—highly recommended as a karaoke choice for those in their 40s.

There’s always tomorrowUrufuruzu

There’s Always Tomorrow (Ulfuls). Released in February 2001 (Heisei 13). “♪ There’s always tomorrow, there’s always tomorrow; for a young guy like me, I have dreams…”
There's always tomorrowUrufuruzu

The original song was released as a single by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, and the version I’m introducing here is a cover by Ulfuls.

The melody of this song is quintessential Showa-era kayōkyoku—simple and easy to sing, the kind anyone can hum along to.

Even those who aren’t confident singers should be fine choosing it at karaoke! Sing it bright and cheerfully!
