Energizing songs recommended for men in their 40s (1–10)
B BLUEBOØWY
Included on the 1986 album “BEAT EMOTION.” Featured as an insert song in the 1987 film “19 Nineteen.” A four-piece rock band formed in 1981.
Riding an uptempo, aggressively unfolding rhythm and a sound steeped in straight-ahead rock, Himuro delivers a haunting, deeply emotive vocal—an undeniably cool track.
Linda LindaZa Burū Hātsu
The Blue Hearts’ classic “Linda Linda.” It’s an indispensable song when talking about Japanese punk rock.
Its intense vibes often lead to misunderstandings, but in fact the vocal line is surprisingly gentle and the range isn’t very wide.
Since it sits in the low to mid range, anyone can sing it comfortably with the right key adjustment.
However, the low notes in the verse (A-melo) are fairly low, so don’t lower the key too much just because the chorus and the B-melo feel easy to sing.
BLOWIN’B’z
Included on the 1998 album “B’z The Best ‘Treasure’.” Used in a Calbee “Potato Chips” TV commercial.
A two-member music unit formed in 1988.
The song’s title came from Inaba’s impression after hearing a piece composed by Matsumoto—he imagined “it’s like the wind is blowin’…”.
It’s a cool, fast-paced track with a strong rock flavor.

BE MY BABYCOMPLEX
Included on the 1989 album “COMPLEX.” A two-person music unit formed in 1988.
The intro, which relentlessly refrains “Be My Baby,” is striking.
The ensemble of a hefty guitar sound and powerful drums with Koji Kikkawa’s sexy vocals is tight, cool, and excellent.
GLORIAZIGGY
Included on the 1988 album “HOT LIPS.” Theme song for the drama “Dō Kyū Sei” (Classmates).
A rock band from Tokyo formed in 1984.
Currently, only the vocalist, Juichi Morishige, remains in the group.
There is an anecdote that when the completed song was first played for the members, they pushed back against the strong kayōkyoku-style melody.
TRAIN-TRAINZa Burū Hātsu
The Blue Hearts’ classic “TRAIN-TRAIN” was a long-running hit from the 1980s into the early 2000s.
True to the Blue Hearts’ style, this track is a passionate punk rock song characterized by its raw sound.
You might expect it to be hard on the throat vocally, but it actually sits within a relatively narrow range of mid1 G# to mid2 F#.
The vocal line itself isn’t complex; however, starting from the second verse, it incorporates a slightly spoken delivery, which brings subtle pitch variations compared to the first verse.
Because this spoken-like quality isn’t a purely musical pitch change, be sure to carefully learn it by ear.
MONEYHamada Shogo
Included on the 1984 album “DOWN BY THE MAINSTREET.” Born in 1952, a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima Prefecture.
Although the lyrics are quite raw and explicit, singing it at karaoke somehow fills you with energy.
It’s an impressive number with an up-tempo, catchy, and aggressive sound.
