Interesting songs recommended for men in their 40s (11–20)
KOME KOME WARkome kome CLUB
Included on the 1988 album “GO FUNK.” A six-piece rock band formed in 1982.
Riding on an uptempo, developing funk groove, the lyrics are made up of a string of nonsensical words—perfectly silly in a way that’s very funk—and that, paradoxically, makes it really click.
The rattlesnake is comingTonneruzu
Not only did they score big with variety shows, but the comedy duo Tunnels also enjoyed hits with their songs.
Among the many hit numbers they produced, the one I especially recommend as an easy-to-sing track is Garagara Hebi ga Yattekuru.
It falls under what you’d call a comic song and is mainly aimed at elementary and middle school students, but the vocal line is surprisingly funky and cool.
The overall vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s suitable for men of almost any voice type.
DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY
ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.
Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.
Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.
To the most important personTonneruzu
The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.
Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.
Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.
This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Camera LifeDenki Gurūvu
Included on the 1994 album “DRAGON.” Ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Things They Don’t Teach You at School!!”.
A two-member music unit formed in 1989.
Although it was the ending theme for a Fuji TV program, there’s a story that the members were furious about how poorly it was treated on the show.
The hard-hitting techno sound is very much their style.
I’ve gotta do the thing that seems impossible.Sambomasutā
A song packed with a powerful message that gives you the courage to face forward, its energetic rock sound stirs the soul.
The passionate vocals and punk rock–tinged arrangement express the importance of believing in your potential and taking on new challenges.
A fan favorite at live shows, it sparks a frenzy as the band and audience become one.
Released in February 2010, the track drew attention as the theme for Nissan’s Serena commercial and was later chosen as an image song for the drama Cheer☆Dan.
It’s a piece you’ll want to listen to when standing at a crossroads in life or before making a big decision.
Brimming with the encouraging, anthemic appeal that could be called Sambomaster’s true essence.

Beard and Boobsyunikōn
One of Unicorn’s signature works, this song humorously portrays the wavering emotions caught between a salaryman’s job and his love life.
Tamio Okuda’s lyrical world shines as he deftly weaves in modern workplace relationships, from a young company president to the woman at the neighboring desk.
Released in October 1991, the track features an arrangement inspired by the grand sound of Electric Light Orchestra, with a striking use of synthesizers.
As the closing song on the album “Hige to Boin,” it brilliantly conveys the complex feelings of a man who can’t give up on love even while being overwhelmed by work.
It’s a perfect pick for livening up after-work karaoke with colleagues.
