[For Men in Their 40s] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Tracks: Guaranteed Crowd-Pleasers (61–70)

balladKetsumeishi

While Ketsumeishi is known for many upbeat tracks with lots of hip-hop and rap elements, they actually have ballads too! Gentle melodies over piano and strings in the background… This side of Ketsumeishi is compelling to listen to, and it’s cool to sing as well! The full track runs close to seven minutes, so it’s on the longer side, but it’s highly recommended when you’re in the mood for something mellow.

Of course, there’s rap too, but the tempo is relaxed, making it easy to learn and groove to.

It seems like a song that would feel good to sing while moving your body broadly.

The chorus is a real showcase, so singing each phrase carefully helps you put emotion into it.

When you slip lightly into falsetto, the sense of poignancy really deepens.

The latter half of the chorus is a spot where it feels great to sing, so don’t hesitate—project your voice with confidence!

Protect the Lightsupittsu

It’s being used as the opening theme song for the anime SPY×FAMILY Season 3.

Spitz, who aren’t really known for anime theme songs, are apparently doing their first anime this time.

The melody has a gentle feel that slips right into your heart.

Since vocalist Kusano’s voice is a transparent-sounding mixed voice, you might feel the song is high when you listen, but the actual range is D#3 to A#4, so it’s not overly high.

That said, it’s a challenging range if you try to belt it out with force.

It’s easier if you imagine singing lightly and resonating in your head.

At the end, the note G#4 continues—here I recommend singing with a humming sensation rather than pushing yourself.

Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu

The Checkers “Lullaby of a Zigzag Heart” (LIVE)
Lullaby of a Serrated HeartChekkāzu

The Checkers, with Fumiya Fujii as the vocalist.

They were popular as an idol-style band in the 1980s.

I love the intro of this song too, and it modulates at the end and the pitch goes up… it’s just so cool.

The same melodic line repeats several times, and the song’s range is set in a register that’s easy for men to sing, so it seems like you can have fun singing along with a good groove.

By the way, in the very last phrase after the key change in the final chorus, the pitch goes up—did you all know that? When you sing it at karaoke, if you focus on that part and hit the notes solidly, it’ll land really stylishly! Basically, if you keep the energy up while you sing, your vocal cords will resonate and the high notes will come out more easily, so try singing it with some momentum.

Journey of the Heartchūrippu

TULIP “Kokoro no Tabi” (Lyric Video)
Journey of the Heartchūrippu

It’s a big hit by Tulip.

The melody line is gentle and the range isn’t high, so I think it’s easy to sing! It might be for a slightly older generation than men in their 40s, though…

By the way, “Kokoro no Tabi” has been covered by Masaharu Fukuyama and many others, so it could be fun to look for a version you like! Tulip’s songs have a choral feel with a relaxed tempo, and there are parts that really let you showcase your singing—they’re very appealing.

It’d be great to have everyone sing along on the chorus, and then sing the non-chorus parts comfortably and smoothly.

Since the range is easy, be careful not to strain your throat.

If you keep your eyebrows raised and project your voice into the distance, your vocal cords will vibrate better and you’ll produce sound more easily.

You pure motherfuckersKishidan

As a CD single from Kishidan, this is their first new song in an astonishing five years and eight months.

It was written by Sho Ayanokoji as the theme song for the drama “Donketsu,” which begins airing on April 25, 2025! It features Kishidan’s signature hot, rough rock band sound that perfectly matches the yakuza-themed world of the drama.

The melody line is very straightforward, and since the same chorus melody appears, it shouldn’t be hard to remember the song.

Also, being a Kishidan track, the vocal range isn’t too high and sits comfortably for male singers.

It sounds cool if you sing it with a clenched-fist, power-through delivery! One thing to watch out for is to keep your throat relaxed without tensing up.

Using gestures helps you naturally loosen up and makes it easier to sing! Be sure to learn the choreography and have fun singing along.

Let’s be happyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Artists from around this generation tend to sing in their natural (chest) voice rather than relying on falsetto, so their vocal ranges aren’t that high.

I’m sure some people have even sung this song at weddings.

The piano and strings in the background sound beautiful, and it seems like it would feel great to sing.

The tempo isn’t fast, so you can take your time and sing calmly and carefully.

The A-melody has that signature Nagabuchi style, so if you focus on it too much, it might turn into an impression.

I feel it’s best not to worry about his trademark style and sing it in your own voice.

In the chorus, if you sing boldly—almost thinking, “I’m a great singer!”—your voice will project well and it’ll feel really good to sing.

In the end, it’d be amazing if you could get everyone involved and turn it into a big sing-along!

B-BlueBOØWY

Among men in their early 50s, many probably listened to BOØWY quite a lot.

BOØWY left behind many memorable rock classics, and among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is B-Blue.

While the song features a heartbeat-raising, striking melody, its vocal range is surprisingly narrow and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.

It’s a song you can handle even when your throat is worn out after a second party, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
