[For Men in Their 40s] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs: Guaranteed Crowd-Pleasers (1–10)
AgainMr.Children
This is the theme song for Sunday Theater “Reboot,” starring Ryohei Suzuki, released for streaming on January 19, 2026.
Takeshi Kobayashi joins on piano, and it’s an up-tempo track that depicts the faint hopes of everyday life.
Listening to it, it’s a rock ballad very characteristic of Mr.
Children, with a very clear melodic line, so I think it’s easy to pick up even on first listen.
The vocal range isn’t too high, so you should be able to sing it comfortably all the way through; however, right before the last chorus, the vibe changes depending on whether you sing the ad-lib or stick to the melody.
If you’re good with high notes or like to project your voice, the ad-lib section feels great to sing and is highly recommended.
Give it several listens and decide which part you want to sing!
Reach it, all of it.Oni-chan
The theme is the first love song sung by Oni-chan from au’s “Santaro” series.
We began streaming the original track—imbued with feelings for a loved one—on various subscription services starting January 9, 2026.
Including a special 90-second commercial, the piece centers on a relatable theme: the love and desire to deliver beautiful and delicious things to a precious person far away.
As a ballad, the tempo isn’t fast, so it seems you can sing each phrase carefully.
I’m a bit concerned about the breathing in the bridge towards the end, but you should be fine as long as you avoid pushing your voice all at once.
For the high notes in the chorus, project firmly to sing them grandly.
I don’t need it.Sakanakushon
As a song that conveys SAKANACTION’s signature sense of change and challenge, it’s their first new track in about a year, released digitally on February 11, 2026.
It was written as the theme song for the drama “Kochira Yobi Jieieiyu Ho?!” directed for the first time by Koji Kato, and it’s drawing attention along with the show’s atmosphere.
You can feel SAKANACTION’s essence right from the intro.
When singing it, pay attention to the contrast and pitch difference when moving from the A melody into the chorus.
The A melody tends to be delivered in vocalist Yamaguchi’s characteristic, almost murmuring style.
But in the chorus, it switches completely to a clear, assertive voice.
This contrast is wonderful, so try to start the chorus with a relaxed body while projecting clearly.
Dynamic RyukyuDerakkusu × Derakkusu
This is a cover song released digitally on March 29, 2025.
Featuring the original composer Akira Ikuma on guitar and title lettering by Satoru Takazato of MONGOL800, it’s a powerful yet fleeting arrangement brimming with the dense heft characteristic of Deradera.
In the music video, Asagao’s vocals resound against a backdrop of vast natural scenery.
Known for its forceful singing and dynamic worldview, it’s a track that’s been making waves live as well.
Compared to Akira Ikuma’s original version, this one is faster and has a stronger sense of drive, so it might be better for those who want to sing with power.
That said, it’s not just about singing loudly—aim to increase your volume by resonating through your body! Try placing a hand on your chest and sing while feeling the resonance.
FriendKetsumeishi
A classic ballad that served as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN,” it sings of friendship and parting with friends going their separate ways, while looking ahead with hope for the future.
It resonated with many people during the end of youth and graduation season, and the music video features an emotional story starring model Kaito.
The song itself hardly goes into high notes, so you can likely sing it in a steady, understated manner.
Since it’s a hip-hop ballad, there’s rap as well.
If you focus on coming in clearly at the start and delivering the rap with intention, it’s easier to lock into the rhythm.
And then there are the high notes from around the last four minutes—keep time with your body and place your voice so it locks in with the melody!
I’ll walk home.Saitō Kazuyoshi
This is the opening theme of Fuji TV’s “Ponkikkies,” which I was also watching at the time.
It’s a classic from 1994 that’s loved by both kids and adults, depicting everyday scenes with a lively tempo and a bright melody.
It’s also known as the song from Suntory’s “Zen” commercial, and it holds a kind of motivational anthem position, cheerfully portraying people commuting to work and school.
The overall vocal range is F3–A4, which is quite modest, and if you can use falsetto well, it should be easy for anyone to sing.
If you take a breath between each phrase, you should be able to make it to the end without running out of air.
It’s a refreshing song, so definitely try singing it at karaoke.
Happy life175R
This is the major-label debut single released on January 16, 2003.
It debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon chart, and along with the second single “Sora ni Utaeba,” it achieved a remarkable feat as a representative anthem of youth punk.
It features a bright, catchy melody and positive lyrics, produced by Masahide Sakuma.
The overall vocal range is D#3 to C5, and the key point is how powerfully you can hit the high notes right at the start.
Also, since the tempo is on the faster side, if you can harness that tempo to build momentum, the high parts in the chorus shouldn’t feel too tough.
In any case, get your whole body into it and have fun!
