[For Men in Their 40s] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs: Guaranteed Crowd-Pleasers (1–10)
AgainNEW!Mr.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!
Dynamic RyukyuNEW!Derakkusu × 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.
I don’t need it.NEW!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.
Reach it, all of it.NEW!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.
Happy lifeNEW!175R
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!
Pink SpiderNEW!hide with Spread Beaver
It’s characterized by innovative sound and digital rock, with lyrics depicting “true freedom” from the perspective of a spider trying to burst out of a narrow sky.
Released right after hide’s sudden passing, it’s a classic that represents the 1990s.
For men in their 40s, it’s probably a song right at the heart of their youth.
The vocal range isn’t that high, spanning C3 to A4.
Since it includes fairly low notes, be careful not to strain your throat.
To produce sound correctly from the vocal cords, place your hand on the hollow between your collarbones when you sing.
Do you feel vibrations when you make a sound in that position? If you do, that’s proof your vocal cords are resonating.
From there, focus on projecting your voice forward clearly.
Can’t Stop the RomanticNEW!C-C-B
This is C-C-B’s second single, released on January 25, 1985.
The lyrics were written by Takashi Matsumoto and the music composed by Kyohei Tsutsumi.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Maido Osawagase Shimasu” and became a huge hit.
With Koji Kasa’s high-tone drum-vocals and its distinctive synth sound, it stands as a classic representative of 1980s pop.
In 2005, it was also featured as an insert song in the drama “Densha Otoko,” making it a well-known track across generations.
The overall vocal range is on the higher side, so I recommend singing with a more falsetto-leaning voice.
If you project strongly from the top of your head, you can produce a chest-voice-like tone even in falsetto and sing comfortably, so if you’re not confident, give it some practice!
